This is a new hotel and everything in the large room worked, was clean, and comfortable. Coffee in the lobby 24/7, breakfast in the morning with a variety of food and drinks. They also had an exercise room with dumbells and machines that would satisfy. The location was very close to where I was going and parking on site was easy at no cost.
Ideally located off Highway 17 and only minutes from the beautiful beaches of Santa Cruz, California, this hotel offers many thoughtful amenities, and is close to popular area attractions.

Santa Cruz was surf central California long before the Beach Boys sang about it. The Surfing Museum in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse tells stories of those who have braved some of the world’s best waves.
Overlooking the ocean rollers are the Coconut Grove Ballroom and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - the oldest amusement park in the state of CA, and the last original one on the West Coast. Its historic carousel, rollercoasters and rides are a colourful backdrop to Cowell’s Beach, best viewed from the Sky Glider cable cars.
Jutting into Monterey Bay is the wharf where sea lions bask and pelicans decide on their next meal. Seafood restaurants are abundant here and the bars provide lively nightlife. Pacific Avenue is the main shopping area and one street away is the Museum of Art & History.
Unsurprisingly for a surfer hotspot, the city has a liberal outlook and is known for political activism - a far cry from the era when the Santa Cruz Mission was established. The mission is now a state park alongside Natural Bridges Beach and the Big Basin Redwoods in forested hills behind the city, home to the gravity-defying Mystery Spot.
Booking.com’s Santa Cruz accommodation includes pet-friendly motels, hotels with hot tubs and cheap inns near UCSC.

I believe the hotel is a nice location to stay, they might consider getting better maintanance, and cleaning help, some one that can speak english, to better help the guest. Jessica, was very polite, and tried to help as much as possible. There were just a lot of little things, they could have been prevented, especially when you pay the high price charged there. When booking, I thought I was booking direct with the property, never knew bookings, com, jumped in to the equasion. So when I asked if they honored AAA, or AARP discounts, they said no because our room was booked by a third party. Also asked for room with 2 queens, was told they were sold out, which forced us to book 2 seperate rooms, after arriveing, found out they had suites for four people. I think this was a money thing, for bookings.com

It was quiet and wasn't too crowded . Beaches and restrooms were clean.wheather wasn't all that warm and it did rain hour or so after we got to the beach pretty heavy we had to leave in a rush. All in all, kids were very happy with trip they can't wait to return for their summer trip.

The location was the best!
The location was the best! The stairs are a lot of work if you have issues. I can't believe the Boardwalk is closed on fridays! If you are planning a friday night adventure at the boardwalk you will need to find something else to do.

Santa Cruz gets sleazy fast (a lot of justly disaffected youth manifesting the consequences of a tattered social fabric & like), but the near-perfect climate year-round, the surrounding (2nd or 3rd growth, but still....) redwoods, challenging cols (lots of category 2s & 1s), vast fields of agriculture (it is delightful to cycle through the fields on what amount to ruelles; these areas are intensely redolent of earth, manure & whatever is being cultivated, plus it makes one appreciate just how back-breaking is the labor that goes into producing one's strawberries & artichokes & like) & vegan eating options (especially the bakeries) make any visit worthwhile, especially if you're from an area that does not have that year-round ideal climate. I recommend cycling up SkyLine or HighLand or Empire Grade or getting out in the fields toward MonteRey. Country roads are nearly uniformly narrow, but traffic is mostly light (minus HighWay 9) & drivers generally courteous (again, minus HighWay 9). Santa Cruz even has the mark of any good location -- a nearby Grocery Outlet -- which, due to its location on the edge of town (it may actually be in Soquel), is easy to integrate into the end of a ride for some yummy and cheap vegan delights =)

A small treasure and throw-back to a different era: the Boardwalk on the beach, opened in 1907, with a roller coaster and carousel from near that time frame, the tradition & history of the surfing venue, the old (but renovated) motels along the beachfront, and the labyrinth of mid-century housing, some refreshed, some not, make this a worthwhile visit! There are lovely walks along the pier, where sea lions sun themselves, along the coast, where surfers wait for the perfect wave, and along the trails city streets, festive with many cultures represented.
I was in Santa Cruz for the Ironman 70. 3 race. I couldn't be happier with the location. It is right across the street from Athlete Village and the transition area. The hotel itself is nice with renovated bathroom, free parking, daily housekeeping, and good beds. It's a short stroll to the beach and Boardwalk. Would stay again at this property.
Breakfast was OK. Same thing every day, so a little boring after a couple of days. Location in regards to Beach and the Santa Cruz Pier and Boardwalk was excellent! Basically one block more than the backside of the pay parking lot for the Boardwalk, two blocks (Small city blocks) from a Boardwalk entrance.
Amazing staff, chic and comfortable rooms, great location, the grounds are gorgeous and the food at the restaurant… Was really good! Plus they stay open late if you’ve been out and about exploring Santa Cruz all day!! This will definitely be our go to hotel for the Santa Cruz area!!
This is my favorite moderately-priced hotel in Santa Cruz. The staff are lovely, the location is great, and the rooms are clean and cozy, with plenty of electrical outlets, storage areas for bags, a big tub, and a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker.
Clean, comfortable, basic roadside motel with helpful staff. Location was convenient with restaurants and Starbucks within easy walking distance. Beach was farther away, but you aren’t going to find a hotel on the beach at this price point.
The room size, cleanliness, and style were awesome! This is the best hotel near the beach in Santa Cruz. We stayed in a competitor’s motel less than one block away for three nights it was terrible! We moved to this hotel it was Heaven.
buildings and grounds very welcoming. nice patio on second floor with tables chairs and umbrellas to enjoy. friendly accommodating staff. quiet but located centrally. best hotel I've stayed in Santa Cruz for the price.
super pretty location in a lovely Victorian house and a beautiful garden. cute room, comfy bed, well organized kitchen, beach in a short walking distance. would definitely come again if we ever come back to Santa Cruz
It’s in a great location, just a short walk from the wharf area and also the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Free coffee / hot drinks were offered on a morning made by a barista so this was a nice little extra!
This hotel was well located for our visit to Santa Cruz. It was a few short blocks from the Boardwalk and pier. The room was clean, comfortable and cozy with 2 bedrooms. The staff were courteous.
Nice staff in a comfortable and relaxed setting. Although we were a couple of miles from centre of Santa Cruz it was quick and easy to get in and out. Lovely beach 2 minutes walk away.
The breakfast was delicious and the portions were perfect! I love how retro and special the hotel itself feels! It is my favorite hotel and the best in Santa Cruz!
