Should be condemned and leveled

First I go to check in and the lady doesn't speak English, but she gives me my key. I go to the room and it is disgusting. It smells horrible like a locker room, the carpets are dirty and ripped up, and the T.V. doesn't work. I go into the bathroom and the $10.00 showerhead has a $4.00 roll of duct tape wrapped around it. Turn the shower on and most of the water is coming through the seams in the duct tape and not out of the head itself, so taking a shower was a tricky endeavor, with water going everywhere. It had obviously been this way for awhile since mold was growing. I go to use the bathroom sink and that faucet wasn't even bolted to the sink. At 10:00PM her husband comes to my room while I'm eating to tell me that I have to come to the office to finish checking in. So I leave my dinner to get cold to accommodate this jerk and it takes him about 20 minutes to check me in because he arguing with me and wants me to use a different credit card than the one I used to make my reservation. At check out he didn't even want to give me a receipt.

Great Stay

I was traveling the Pacific Coast Highway and needed a place to stay. I stumbled upon this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable price. The room was comfortable and served the purpose I needed which was a short visit for a reasonable price.

This hotel is a short walk from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Downtown Santa Cruz. It is a great location with many attractions within walking distance.

Location, location, location

If you want an inexpensive place to stay that is ridiculously close to the beach and boardwalk, this is it. The room was small, but had all the neccessities. Reasonably clean with decent beds. Not 4 star, but worth the price.

Right on the corner of Beach and Cliff, next to the bowling alley is a cozy cafe for breakfast. Only steps away.
