My husband and I love to stay at the National 9. The owners take good care of us and if we have any requests, they do their best to accommodate us. The rate is very low, which allows us to go to Santa Cruz more often than if we stayed at a more luxurious motel, and that is the choice... more

Wow, where do I start. Ok, this is the property on 1015 Ocean blvd, not to be confused with the other location further north. I called them directly to book this room mainly because they were referred to me by another hotel. I had my little dog with me and needed a place that accepted pets. When we got there... more

Asked for a room to be held saying would arrive in 5-10 minutes. Had an accident enroute and called to say we were unable to stay in Santa Cruz. Even though it was a holiday weekend and the property coul easily have sold the room to another traveler, they refused saying "it was in the computer and they could do... more

The National 9 Motel is quite possibly the worst place on Earth. I was eaten alive by bedbugs at the National 9 Motel. I woke up with over a dozen welts between 1 and 3 inches long after I spent the night at the National 9 Motel. The room at the National 9 Motel looked clean but had a very... more

Checked in and found that the room hadn't been vacuumed very well. Found fingernail clippings by the bed. Lots of hair in the drain pipe of the shower. The maid had entered the room before we had checked out while we were gone and changed the bed. I was very upset because I had left valuables in the room and... more
