I discourage anyone from ever staying here! Dreadful.. It was absolutely dreadful! Not only did the door not close all the way because it was bent near top and near bottom, instead of a key card lock it had a little round office door key lock that was not put on correctly, there was rail next to where my car...

Save the trouble. Don't even consider staying at this place. We made reservations for two nights and check in and the manager was not friendly at all. The office smelt disgusting might I add. We park the truck and move our stuff into our room. The room stinks so incredibly bad. The bed cover was dirty. The entire hotel was... More

Worst experience ever! All other places were booked as there was a cheer competition going on, so I had no choice and didn't even read the reviews. Would have been better off sleeping in my car. The room was $230 and then he charged an additional $140 for extra people.(we had the 3 queen "suite" and everyone fit fine) then... More

As you read these reviews you can see how horrible this hotel is. We were passing through on our way to Texas and had not planned on staying in Santa Cruz but decided too at the last minute.

This hotel was only a block from the boardwalk, which was it's only positive aspect. The owner didn't give me a reciept, there was no phone or clock in the room, hte bed sunk in when we slept on it, and the parking was absolutely horrible. If you have a car that isn't compact, good luck. I would advise on... More
