Staff was super super sweet and helpful! Our bathroom door was locked when we arrived and they were super fast to help us and were super friendly!

The facility had all of the usual amenities plus left a pair of earplugs at every nightstand. The coffee station in the room was well stocked with a variety of items, the kitchenette was clean and useful. The layout of our suite was comfortable. The staff was outstanding. It is definitely an older property, but it is very clean inside each room and we enjoyed our stay. They were gracious in letting us park there for free before we checked into our room, saving us a big parking fee at the boardwalk. I would recommend and return.

The hotel clerk is very friendly and welcoming. It is an older hotel, but very clean. We had a room with two beds and what is nice is the rooms are separated by the bathroom which gives privacy for each room. Parking was safe and saves you parking at the boardwalk. It's a 10 min walk to the boardwalk. The beds were comfortable and shower was nice. I would definitely stay there again.

Close enough to walk to the boardwalk and great restaurants nearby. Be mindful there are homeless in the city, especially across the bridge near the shops and restaurants.

Check in was a pleasure with the wonderful lady working around 6pm on 25th May - she needs a pay rise and an extra holiday day she was so pleasant and friendly and asset to the place. The room was comfortable and clean, parking in the courtyard was easy and the position of our room meant it was very quiet. Would stay again. Many thanks

For the price, an excellent deal. Room was clean and bathroom was spacious. Best aspect of the motel is its location. Very easy walk not only to the boardwalk and beach but also to the downtown across the river. I was in Santa Cruz to attend a conference which had multiple locations in disparate areas of town. I was able to comfortably walk to all of them, as well as to tourist destinations. The only difficult part of town to access was the University, but I get the sense that essentially no hotels are accessible to that campus anyway. Staff was courteous. Very pleasant stay.

Good price and a nice unit. We had a two room suite which was also priced reasonably. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. Surprisingly quiet for being near the road, an a nice short walk to the boardwalk. If you get a unit with a kitchenette make sure to bring your own stuff. They have a stove, microwave, and fridge but no pots, pans, utensils, oil, salt, etc. (we borrowed some from a friend). was great to make our own breakfast each morning and having a place to stash and warm up leftovers though.

The family suite we stayed in (3 queen beds in two rooms + kitchenette) wasn’t anything extravagant but everything was clean and functional and the pricing was great. Check in was easy, parking was available, room and bathroom look to have been renovated fairly recently. Really no complaints at all. We all felt safe and comfortable. If we’re in SC for a short stay again I wouldn’t hesitate to book here.
