★★★★★ 5.0 Zach Over · Mar 2026

Finding a check-in at 1:00 AM is rare, making this the only reliable late-night option for a weary traveler. It truly stands out as the best spot for quality rest after a long night.

Spacious rooms with a giant kitchen and eating area separated with a door. Reminds me of an apartment from my younger days. I travel for business a lot and am spoiled from nice hotels so it's a dicey gamble when I decide to book a cheap one. We were prepared to leave if it was terrible. For the price we were worried. It was great! They could definitely charge more. There was a little visible wear, like paint bubbles or a cracked tile, but the place was super clean, bathroom was nice. I had no complaints. It was better than I expected for the price. Having the full kitchen to make drinks and snacks in was a bonus. I've stayed here twice now and won't hesitate to again. By the way, no issues with homeless. Some locations in Santa Cruz struggle with that but I didn't see any issues here. Easy

Positive: It was clean, comfortable and most importantly - QUIET. This is my fourth weekend in Santa Cruz and I have stayed at four different hotels. This was by far the quietest by far - thank you! Negative: ""
