Nice repeat stay
We got there late and the guy at front desk was so helpful and nice. The room was clean, beds were comfy, and even with dogs staying around us, it was very quiet! This is the second time we’ve stayed there, and we liked it last time too.

Extremely convenient! Dog rest area is very rough, some neighborhood decline, just kind of weird on the away-from-the-beach directions. BUT - the BEST spot for the IM race, and a wonderful staff.

Santa Cruz as a whole was a huge disappointment. So many homeless and drug addicts walking around. The motel itself was ok but did not feel safe in the area. There was damage to the room ceiling and one of the walls we reported to the front desk. Motel was in decent shape and if was for the area I would go again.
