Comfortable, clean, quiet motel. Rooms were nice size with microwave, refrigerator and coffee pods. Continental type breakfast included. Plenty of parking. I recommend this location. Also, great ice cream shop a few blocks away on Fair St. and the Mission Bar across the street for a drink and good conversation.

A decently priced, decently located motel in Santa Cruz -- good value for the price overall. It was a quiet location, had a better than expected breakfast included, and was overall clean and comfortable. A good stay in an otherwise fairly pricey location. Nearby BBQ restaurant was quite good.

We got there late and wanted to get some water from the vending machine but it only took cash. Would be great if they modernized the machines. It was good for the price and shortness of visit as we were there to visit ucsc.
