We got a great deal on this place. We stayed in the single story bungalow type rooms near the back of the parking lot. They were newly remodeled and very clean. The furniture and bedding seemed very new, colorful and modern. It almost felt more like a cozy studio or dorm room. The walls were a little thin, but we... More

As you find yourself staying near the SC Boardwalk, you will get alot of 1 star hotels with 3 star prices. This goes up to 4 star hotel pricing if their is a beach soccer tournament. Room was clean. Staff was ok. Pool is disgusting. Room walls are extremely thin. You will hear your neighbors TV. If it is after... More

Close to lots of Santa Cruz things to do, easy check in/out, clean room. The toilet was wobbly but that was not a concern. Stayed with two dogs & we felt welcome. Parking was a bit of a pain the first night but once we got a spot in the lot we just left our car there and walked everywhere.

We checked in at 10:00pm and the front desk woman was very friendly and engaging. We asked for an upstairs room and she was very accommodating! There were hard wood floors in this room (which I have never seen in a hotel before). The room, shower, bed, floors were clean. In the morning a dog barking woke my boyfriend up,... More

The Inn looks decent from the outside but the inside was disappointing. Dank, musty smell in the room, dated bed spread & the thinnest walls ever. I could hear the person in the next room over yawn when he woke up in the morning...no lie. We booked on Hotwire & were told once we got there that we were not... More

The room was clean with wood floor, which I liked. Could have used a desk or table top for laptop and a few drawers to store my clothes. But the updated room renovation, proximity to the beach, great continental breakfast, and friendly staff more than make up for that. The room Keurig coffee maker made the best coffee I have... More

Convienent location. Short walk to bordwalk and main street. Comfy beds. A+ for cleanliness. Wonderful staff. Didn't need heater on cold nights. Calm nights; no loud music, crying kids or drunk adults. Overrall a great vacation stay.

My boyfriend and I got a room at this hotel on may 31, 2013. We picked this hotel for the descent looking rooms, ok price of $100/night for 2 queen beds, and mainly because it was pet friendly. As we checked in we were immediately discriminated for being 'hippies' and seemingly un-fit for their hotel. We may have long hair... More
