Summary: Sfaff was very helpful, coming quickly and personally when we had difficulty determining how to use the oven. Bathroom and Kitchen were new, but furnishing were old but functional. Second room with kitchen was suprisingly spacious. Good value for the price, so we would come again.

Summary: Nice old school motel where you still drive your car up to the door of the room. They've updated the rooms and they're very nice, especially the shower. Stayed here several times and it's always been nice.

Summary: Staff in office was helpful. Rom smells extremely strong of cleaning products. It took two washes to get the smell out of our laundry and luggage. Bed was a bit too soft for us. Seems fairly secure but not much effort toward aesthetics or maintenance. Great to have parking/lot was a bit tight. Pretty quick drive distance from Santa Cruz civic center venue. Seems to house some long term residents and some short term guests.

Summary: This motel is clean, feels safe and has been updated nicely. It's nothing fancy, but great for a couple of days. The price is very reasonable and the office staff was very nice. It could have used a couple more (or fuller) pillows, but overall very nice and we wil be back.

Summary: I like that we could park right in front of our room. It had a kitchen but no pots and pans or utensils of any kind. Kind of a waste to offer a kitchen but the person staying has to provide all cookware. Ridiculous. Some of the cupboards were painted shut, but could see from the one that was open it was empty. We only had two plates and a bowl. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Also, only thin blankets on the beds. UGH!!!
