"Simple, but clean and well maintained old-fashioned hotel in a great location right near the beach, pier & board walk. Staff was friendly & helpful; let us leave our car in the carpark for a couple of hours after we'd checked out."

Great value and location! Usually staying 3 and 4 star places and this place barely felt like a compromise. Bed and pillows comfy, room clean. I stayed by myself. Was able to walk to most places i wanted to go in santa cruz which was great!
My only issue was wifi was unreliable / intermittent in my specific room, and the main pool was not heated.
Regardless, would happily stay again by myself or with the family.

The hotel feels really safe and the design of the whole hotel is nice. The place is very green and the room is very clean. The sink is in the room rather than the bathroom which is a bit inconvenient. Would stay there again.

This place was a bargain. Very moderately priced. Room comfortable and the staff pleasant. It has everything you need if you want to be out and about. Good parking if you're driving.
Easy walk into main area of San Jose and easy to get to from the freeway. Great value for money. Clean room and quiet area too.
