Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room had an odor. The towels need replacing they were old, dingy and on top of that there were only two towels provided in the room. There was a stain on the bedsheets and the bedding could use some updating with only one sheet and a paper thin duvet.

Inexpensive. Nice Location.
If I were to guess, I would say that this was a dilapidated property that was recently purchased and quickly renovated. It isn't perfect, but it's cheap and the staff are friendly. The really nice thing about this place is the location. It's a 5 minute walk to Maitreya Retreat, Enterprise Rent-a-car, and Santa Cruz Diner.

Warm, Comfortable Stay for UC Santa Cruz Drop-off
I recently stayed here while dropping my daughter off at UC Santa Cruz, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, allowing me to check in a bit early, which made my busy schedule a lot easier. The room itself was just as advertised—clean, comfortable, and quiet, providing a relaxing space to unwind after a long day. The attention to detail and welcoming atmosphere made my stay feel pleasant and stress-free. Overall, it was the perfect base for a memorable trip to Santa Cruz, and I'd happily stay here again.

Hotel with potential
Shailesh (sorry not sure about spelling) , gentleman at front desk and at breakfast too was great- friendly, helpful and welcoming . The room was fine except for some irregularities eg. The curtains were not all hanging properly , parts were off the rods which made the room look sloppy and unattended to, the white (soap scum) residue on handrail in shower, gaping hole in sink where stopper would be … - basically details that could pull the room together to complement the great service provided by Shailesh

The guy at the front desk when I checked in was not professional. He treated me as if I was one of his friends or something. Was he an exchanged student st the school in Santa Cruz? If not the cooperate needs to educate the franchise owner.
