Looking for a motel?
Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

Staff was polite, although they could have kindly given us a heads-up about the 8am concerts happening right on the motel’s property for the local running race.

We booked this motel mainly due to price reasons. The room was clean, simple and absolutely as we expected it to be. The guy at the front desk was very kind.

The location was so perfect, and it was great to have the free breakfast in the morning. It really set us up for the day.
The free parking was great.

We loved the fact, that the motel was located next to the pier or beach walk of Santa Cruz. However we were unlucky, because it was closed on the night that we arrived (we only spent one night there). The check-in staff, was friendly, no issues. The parking spots, free parking, were super convenient, and the security shut our trunk that we left open (thanks for that!). The hallways, that leads to the rooms, look quite old and shabby, they could need some improvement. The rooms were alright, motel style, nothing fancy, but clean.
