It was calm
Pros:

I liked the location lots, lots of parking. The hotel was calm and quite. The bathroom was nice and probably my favorite part of the location itself. It was a 5 minute walk from the Santa Cruz Beachwalk!!!

Cons:

Bigger tvs could have been nice, or even then the tvs didn’t connect to Wi-Fi so that’s really the only downside to this place. Oh and the breakfast was just cereal, thought it would have been a bit more

Pros:

Friendly reception, easy walking to shops and restaurants and the wharf.

Cons:

The grab and go breakfast was a little lighter than expected but that just meant we could go explore a nice local coffee spot.

Чудовий мотель для ночівлі. Чисто і спокійно. Ідеально, якщо не плануєте проводити тут час зокрема як спати. Весь досуг
Pros:

Було чисто прибрано. Все виглядає досить новим і свіжим. Близько до пляжу.

Cons:

Басейн був не дуже чистий і без підігріву. Тож не розраховуйте на купання, якщо приїдете в холодну погоду як ми.

My stay here was pleasant and enjoyable.
Pros:

The room was pretty nice, it was up-to-date, looked and felt clean. Their breakfast there was good, had a waffle maker among other things. The Woman who checked us out was genuinely warm and friendly. Good customer service.

Cons:

The parking situation. I had to park behind the Hotel in an alleyway and in the morning when we were checking out, we discovered that the gateway thru to the alley was closed, so I therefore had to carry all our bags and luggage down the block and around the backside.

Great price, basic but clean, friendly staff, great location. Good for quick Boardwalk Getaway
Pros:

Location imo was great, four blocks away from Boardwalk. Motel exterior was basic -- very mid-century motel, nothing fancy. The room was surprisingly upgraded, and clean. Area felt safe, well-it with other motels on corner and a large upscale hotel across the street. Staff was super friendly and patient.

Cons:

Staircase to second floor should probably be fixed in future. Safe, but old. Parking was a bit tight, but big gates made it feel safe.
