Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 29 Apr 2011 rated 7 out of 10.

Nice for one or two days, staff was great. Close to beach and wharf. Rooms clean, but not well cleaned. Parking underground the car got water dropped on it all night. Continental breakfast was OK.

Positives: Close to beach and boardwalk park.

Negatives: Older rooms, parking underground, cars got water leaked on them.

Location is great, staff was very friendly, rooms are good for the value. They really need to get better newer towels though, and new mattress covers, as theirs are awful.

Positives: Location was very good.

Negatives: The mattress pad was hard plastic crinkly uncomfortable.

For Santa Cruz the location and price was great for a 2 star but a few bumps along the way. First room we were given was already occupied. Thank god they were not there when I opened the door at 10pm, so I was sure to keep my privacy lock on, when in room just in case they gave someone my room in error. No towels in room but they brought me dingy towels right away. Refrigerator was not cleaned out.

Positives: Location to pier and boardwalk.

Negatives: Towels and breakfast.

Room was clean, clerk was nice, and free wi-fi. Noisy outside the door at night. Met my expectations for a 2 star hotel. You are paying for the location when you stay at this hotel.

Positives: Free Wi Fi

Negatives: People smoking and talking outside our door after midnight

Room was a little small, but nice and clean. Great location, but could improve on breakfast offering for the price they charge.

Positives: Remodeled and close to the attractions we came for.

Negatives: What they considered free breakfast wasn't even close.

Hotel was acceptable on the cleanliness level. Very small room and uncomfortable bed. Old dirty pool needs re-plastering. Location was excellent, however it is not any nicer than a cheap motel 6 and personally I would rather stay in a nicer hotel and drive to the boardwalk and park for the money this place charged to stay. Stay in Campbell, Pruneyard Plaza Inn for the same price which is fantastic and only a 30 minute drive to the beach! We did the second half of the trip and loved the clean hotel rooms and pool/spa and all the activities at Pruneyard.

Positives: 50 ft from beach & arcade, excellent.

Negatives: Almost zero parking for guests, breakfast was a joke. Small rooms.

Location.<BR/>I'd have rated it 3 stars.

Positives: Clean, friendly staff, good value, and the location is just fabulous - about forty steps from front door of hotel to the sand of the beach.

Negatives: Morning coffee is served in the lobby - I had wished the cream was real not powdered.

Everything OK, but lights over bathroom sink did not work. My lady had issues putting he makeup on. Internet barely worked. Staff was discussing some very private things while I was around. Made me uncomfortable.

Positives: Close to beach.

Negatives: Maintenance issues and

The beds were not comfortable, and the fridge and AC-unit was loud, we pulled the power plug to be able to sleep. Friendly staff, a young crowd visiting.

Negatives: Bed comfort.

Very clean - one of the most important factors for me - and comfortable, with very friendly staff. The hotel was very well-maintained, both inside and out. The location was excellent for convenience to the beach, boardwalk, pier, etc. We were there off-season and it was very quiet, which we appreciated, so we don't know about busy season. Cable TV had decent choices, the continental breakfast was fine. Really didn't find anything to complain about; everything was very good - in fact, felt like we got more than money's worth, and we'd recommend it.

Positives: Clean. Comfortable. Quiet. VERY friendly service.

Negatives: If I had to pick something, the indoor parking is a little squalid, but maybe the cold windy weather contributed to that.
