    "While the room was clean, it was very outdated, especially in the bathroom." source Travelocity

  • Location: Rating of 4.4 out of 5

    "The hotel is in a great location, ~5 minute from the Santa Cruz boardwalk. It is an old building in need of updating / maintenace, but the price was reasonable considering the location." source Orbitz

    "Not only was it questionable from a safety standpoint (horrible area) it had mold, was filthy dirty, the staff was so rude but more importantly I had to sleep in my UGG boots (no heat) and forgot them as they were still wrapped up in the blankets." source Priceline

    "It is a good location for beach access, but not for a good night's rest considering the high traffic cross streets." source Travelocity

    "Kitchen in the room, proximity to the Boardwalk It was an older facility, the price for the stay while trying to be competitive, its fair to say that ALL of the hotels in this area are overpriced for what they offer." source Priceline

  • Value: Rating of 3.3 out of 5

    "not up 2 date but good for the price beach and board walk real close." source Travelocity

    "Could do better for price." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 3.3 out of 5

    "The woman at the front desk called our room twice because she felt our children were being too loud at 3:00 in the afternoon." source Travelocity

    "WE have a family of 5 kids, you can't beat a room set up like an apartment with a kitchen,bedroom and living room." source Travelocity

    "Room was a little to warm when we got there- very spacious, all in all nice stay." source Travelocity
