Comfy reasonable hotel with attentive staff
I enjoyed my stay and everything was clean, efficient and the staff was very friendly and amenable. I did have to lug my baggage upstairs - but 2nd floor is always safer...

WORN OUT
The hotel is old. The sleeping area may have had new beds and a new t.v., but the bathroom needed some work. The faucets were old push/pull that were hard to move. There was no water pressure in the shower. When we left in the morning we told them the toilet was plugged, when we returned that night it was still plugged. The staff was friendly,but that was about it. Would I stay there again? NO

Great place for your money
This is an older motel but located perfectly for us. My wife and I spent two nights here. We had breakfast at a local diner the first morning and ate at the motel the next morning. Better food at motel. They offerd cereals, toast, bagels, sweet rolls, juice, coffee, milk, fresh fruit and best of all, waffles you cook yourself. Great machne, even I could do it. My wife was impressed. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Because I can't climb stairs, I asked for and got a handicapped room. Next time I will go for just a ground floor room. Because of being wheelchair accessible, it had no bathroom counter and my wife was not happy about that. The check in was late at night but the staff was very helpful and when we had a noise problem upstairs, they handled it in minutes. Next time I will get a room in the back. The room we had was close to the office and the dumpster was just outside the bathroom window. The trash truck came at 5:45 each morning. Lots of noise for a few minutes.

New Years Eve
The hotel was clean, with a very cold room, and central. But make no mistake, for the price, the time (new years), it was a positive experience: the room, after we got the small heater going, warmed up nicely; the grounds, after we settled in, are actually nice with some wonderful trees that shield the property and, in the summer, I'm sure gives the place some great shade. Bottom line: for about $60.00 a night, in Santa Cruz, New Years Eve, couldn't have done any better! If you are looking for style and glamor, go ahead and find another place for $30 or $40 a night more!! Good experience overall, especially if you have a wife like mine :-)

The No Quality Inn
Very clever photography. It is located along a busy street with sirens blairing all nite.Tried to cancel our second night but due to some hotel policy [...] I had to spend the next night in this dive. [...] Needless to say the whole experiance was horrible but we didn't let it ruin our weekend.

Quality Inn in Santa Cruz ocean st
The staff was friendly and allowed me to check in early I just did not like the shower my boyfriend is 6ft and had to bend down to rinse is hair in the shower. I did like that it was quite easy to find the room was a good size but I don't think I would be staying and this location next time I'm in Santa Cruz.
