We have been to Santa Cruz many time in the past 25 years and have stayed all over when we go. This property had 3 queen beds in a room! Super convenient and so nice for all 3 of us to have our own bed. I cannot say enough awesome things about the staff. The cleaning staff and front desk were all very nice and helpful. The cleaning lady found my son’s watch and they called us to let us know as we were leaving. How cool and honest is that :) Check in was easy and the room was clean. Heater/AC worked well. There are a lot of plug ins in the room for all things electric that you need to plug in. The property location is so close and easy to get to everything including a short distance to the Boardwalk. There were only a few things that could be better. The area isn’t the greatest neighborhood. The hotel walls are pretty thin so if someone has children or just loud in general it’s a little frustrating when trying to sleep. The hot tub and pool were swell, but it was always packed and the hot tub wasn’t as warm as I would like. We appreciate the hotel staff so much! Thank you!

I enjoyed my stay. You get what you pay for. The indoor jacuzzi was great, and the bed was comfortable. I brought my own pillow and blanket. However, the bathtub wasn't draining well.

Remodeled room, we have 3 queen beds got lucky
While most of the pics of this Surf City inn are about filth and dirty areas, my stay on Nov. 2nd 2024 for UC Santa Cruz family weekend was superb . Check in was easy the room was completely remodeled. Parking is free I paid $198 for one night . On top of I got an extra bed so 3 beds were in room 211. I didn't even ask for it. There is no breakfast but plenty of walkable spots to eat and boardwalk is a 5 min walk basically. The room had NETFLIX but you have to login with your account, not a name brand flat screen but I was clear and worked fine . We did use the fridge but not the microwave which looked new. I took lots of pics of all the outlets I counted like 10 plus outlets in perfect area on sides of the beds. The parking lot is real lighted up bright and each unit has lights on front . Only issue I had was one bed moved a little when you moved and the bath tub had a little rust on the drain area.We didn't need to use the AC unit because the room temp was perfect . If you ever need to know the price of a 3 bed one night stay the reception person quoted me $250. Concluding if you need location next to boardwalk basic amenities free parking and can live without free breakfast then book this spot and easy in your wallet . This will be my go to from now on for Santa Cruz. Capitola is just a few exits south.
