"Won’t be staying here again."

5.0

It’s very close to the boardwalk

Looks nothing like the photos, no pool at all even though it’s advertised, gave us no information at front desk after he was rude. There was a couple that was fighting all day and all night for 2 days & our air conditioner stopped working in the middle of our stay too.

"Good location, great service, beds were very bad."

5.0

The rooms were very clean but the mattress and pillows were so hard. I really wanted to like this place since it was a good value and close to UCSC. The staff were so kind and friendly. We returned to our room late in the evening and unfortunately there was not parking available.

The beds were so uncomfortable and the pillows weee rocks.

"Horrible. Location was great"

2.0

It was clean

There was no TV! Cable was supposedly out. The fan in the bathroom also didn’t work and the shampoo and soap that were provided gave me and family a rash.

The rooms were very comfortable. It was close to the boardwalk , which we wanted. The fridge and the microwave were a plus .

I wish they would have had a pool . I wish they would have had a continental breakfast . But overall it was a great place. We will definitely use it again

"Not worth it"

3.0

It was clean, close enough to the beach to walk

Upon arrival we went in to check in, and they let us know that the tv services were not working so we could not watch anything. If it were a smart tv, it would have been okay so we could use our own streaming services however it was an older tv. The outside “courtyard” was fenced off and overgrown with weeds. The whole room smelt of old food, that wasn’t ours. The remote was missing the back and held on by tape, and the beds were extremely uncomfortable.
