Crackheads asking for tin foil. Bums asking for cigarettes and money. Punks having band practice from 8pm till 3am Monday through Sunday. Bed bugs. Rude lady at the front desk. Save your money and stay in your car. I'm here for work and will never stay in this hell hole again. More

I went to Santa Cruz for a concert and was looking for a decent place to crash, watch a movie, shower, have breakfast, and be on my way. I was looking for a bargain hotel, but this isn't a bargain, its a dumpster. I stayed here somewhat on a whim. I work in the hotel industry and know how what... More

This place was the absolute worst place I have ever stayed. Filthy, filthy, filthy. Distgustingly filthy. Did I mention that the place is absolutely filthy? The manager and staff were incredibly rude. Needless to say, we will never stay here again. And I am telling everyone who will listen to JUST SAY NO. More

We selected this motel primarily because of its proximity to the Beach Boardwalk. Although completely aware that it would not nearly compare to a 5 star hotel, it did seem sufficient enough to accommodate our basic needs for a two-day trip. Shortly after our arrival, the problems began. About 30 minutes after checking into the room, the toilet would not... More

We stayed here because we were going to go to the boardwalk over the weekend and we had other activities in Soquel for that Friday and Saturday. This is one of the cheapest places to stay at in Santa Cruz that is relatively close to the boardwalk. We would have stayed some where else but everything is so expensive that... More

We checked out and realized me and my kids have bed bug bites! Do not stay here especially with small children, staff does not care and when asked about the bedbugs they deny it. Isn't that against health codes? Disgusting! More
