First, I will say something nice: I arrived rEaLLy late and the gentleman at the desk was very nice and I will say, the room was clean. That being said, here goes with the negatives: when I checked in I was told the gas heater was not functional but I could use the under window heater. It was cold and... More

This small inexpensive motel (we are respectful and careful not to use the word, cheap because cheap also mean bad quality, we use the word inexpensive which only mean about the money charged for the room), which located next to the entrance of freeway, a bit different location from the other National 9 with the bad review, this motel is...

After reading good reviews for this motel, we booked a total of 4 rooms for a family event for ourselves and other relatives. Then, I saw some really terrible reviews and I became alarmed. Careful reading, though, showed me that there are TWO motels with the same name just a few blocks apart, one with a good reputation, and one... More

Coffee was offered in the morning. I highly recommend this... More

Please, do not do as I did and listen to the other people's reviews. There are way better hotels for the same price in the area. The people that run this hotel are crazy. We had reservations and they put us in a room next to a group of approx. 8 loud, drinking, and smoking men. We were in the... More

For the price, you won't find a better, cleaner motel. I've stayed at most of the more economical motels in the area and only National 9 was good enough.

While your results may vary, we had a comfortable stay at this National 9,( there appears to be two National 9 locations in Santa Cruz.) Their street address is 130 Plymouth, it is really at the north end of Ocean St.. We were lucky enough to be placed in a small house in the back of the property that had... More
