Good value in Santa Cruz
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.

Santa Cruz visit to Seaglass and art show
No complaints. Didn’t find jacuzzi until check out- apparently under a carport so an unusual placement.
Didn’t ask earlier so wasn’t a big deal.

Really enjoyed the place and the location. Only negative was the sour disposition of the reception person. Very clean and comfortable room. Would stay here again.
