No air conditioner, no mirror in or even close to bathroom, dirty floors, broken microwave, dangerous parking... staff kind but unable or willing to help in anyway. Apparently not one of our issues with the room could be improved!?!? AND the worst, when we went to check out 1 day early because of a medical crisis with a parent, despite hotels.com being willing to refund them the day, they stuck it to us and were unwilling to do so!!! We left a full day early and were stuck with the full bill.

Room was small and in kind of a run down condition. Bathroom was just fine. As soon as we got into the room, which did not have a security lock, my husband killed a wolf spider that we assume came in through the gap under the front door. No cable tv. Toiletries were affixed to the walls. Parking lot was a tight fit. The only reason we chose it was due to it being across the street from the Boardwalk.

We loved how close this is to the Boardwalk! Room was clean, bathroom seemed upgraded, water pressure was great in the shower and got hot quickly. Beds weren't super comfy but they were good enough. Like others said, the parking is tight and on a hill/slope so must be comfortable with your vehicle. The walls are thin so it's a little noisy at night with the nightlife outside but we picked this place to be able to walk to the Boardwalk and not have to find parking. Downtown Santa Cruz is less than a mile away and has tons of other food options and shopping. Overall, great place to stay while visiting Santa Cruz Boardwalk!
