Sam (owner and front desk) was great! Rooms are well renovated! Lobby and exterior need some updating, but they are currently doing lots of work to update it. Right next to the Boardwalk and incredibly convenient.

The location was a five minute walk to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The bathroom glass walk in shower was my favorite feature. Although the room was extremely small it was very clean and comfy bed! I would stay here again next time I visit Santa Cruz!!

This place has undergone an extensive remodel and our room was excellent. The location, for our needs, was perfect. Quick walk to the Boardwalk and an easily manageable walk to downtown. The exterior is dated, but it's apparently about to be repainted. The owner is very nice!
