The location was a five minute walk to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The bathroom glass walk in shower was my favorite feature. Although the room was extremely small it was very clean and comfy bed! I would stay here again next time I visit Santa Cruz!!

Sam (owner and front desk) was great! Rooms are well renovated! Lobby and exterior need some updating, but they are currently doing lots of work to update it. Right next to the Boardwalk and incredibly convenient.

We enjoyed very much of our 2 nights stay at this place. Staff were very polite and helpful, we arrived about 2 hrs earlier than expected for check-in, and still were able to get a room. The room was perfect for us, with a small area inside that we can park our three bikes. We walked about 12 minutes to Broadwalk and wharf.
