Staff were courageous and professional. What I didn’t like that a window blind a panel was missing, we had to cover with a towel. Cleaning staff need to improve on cleanliness, there was a stain on the bathroom wall by the toilet and the computer chair was filthy.

Family Trip

The hotel is nice just a little outdated but the room where we stayed was big enough for our family & it has a direct access to the pool area. I just wish they will clean & decorate the small garden like area outside the rooms going to the pool area. That would be a great lounge area &/or a picnic area. Hotel was close to the Boardwalk probably around 7-10 minutes walk. Pool is gated which is good but since they allow pets, some guests brought their dog inside the pool area which in my opinion should not have been allowed. Our family stayed for 3 days & 2 nights & on the morning of our check out my hubby was locked inside the bathroom. For some reason the lock on the knob won’t work so we had to let the front desk know & they immediately called the manager who came in right away with a handyman even if it was very early in the morning. He was very concerned & got the issue resolved right away. Thanks Sam we will surely recommend your hotel & will be back for sure!

I have not stayed at this motel in a number of years. It has gone downhill. First, they are pet friendly but they do charge $25. for family pet. I have a service animal and my friend has two dogs. One is a pet. I was helping my friend by paying the deposit for her room. I signed up the pet and paid the $25 fee. And the $150 deposit. Then signed up my service animal.

We stayed because we had to attend a morning wedding the next day. We checked in left our luggage and left. After being in Santa Cruz boardwalk on Friday for the movie at the beach we returned around midnight to the hotel room. We wanted to shower but we had no hot water we ran it for 30 minutes then called the front desk who told us to run it for 10 more minutes. Still no hot water so I called the front desk and got no answer so I had to go to the front desk. Front desk stated another room had complained as well. He stated he was going to check the boiler. I went back to my room and minutes later he came knocking and verified we only had cold water. While he checked I sat on the bed and could feel the bed springs
