This place was well located on the west side of Santa Cruz. Was amazed the room had a real fridge with frozen and cold section separate. Overall no complaints, for the price and the location. Thank you.

Despite its outdated amenities, the hotel staff exhibited a friendly demeanor. However, the carpet was noticeably soiled if one did not wear shoes. While the bedding was clean and of a softer quality, the toilet exhibited a loud noise during flushing. Overall, the stay was satisfactory for a single night.

Good basic accommodations. Only two quibbles: overhead light was buzzing so I only used the lights next to the bed, and heater/AC was a bit on the noisy side, but not enough to interfere with sleep. But for the price, it was a good value. Recommended.
