    I really enjoyed the stay in the back cottage unit. It was quiet with a relaxing, homey feel, and a nice assortment of amenities. Nicely priced in a prime location. I didn’t get to take advantage of the pool thus visit, but it looked well kept. I definitely plan on coming back for a longer stay sometime.

    Clean room, smells very fresh and very nice staff. This is my second Hotel. First one was a nightmare so had to relocated to this one. I used on my trip from the UK and will definitely use this Hotel on my next trip..

    Clean and friendly staff Everything was good for the price

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The mattress was firm and comfortable. The room and bathroom were clean. The bathroom had a tile floor. There was a microwave and mini-fridge. No breakfast, but you can buy supplies and make your own. It was near two highways, so a bit noisy, but other more expensive hotels are right next door. The swimming pool is out in the open by the parking lot. It could use some shrubs and/or a wood fence to create more privacy.

    El de la oficina nos dio un mal trato fue muy rudo y muy poco servicial nos puso muchas trabas para podernos dar la habitación en contexto muy mal servicio

    Pleasantly surprised by this motel. Moving our daughter to UCSC and of course all the “5star” hotels jacked up their prices to $400-$500. Found this one close to the campus and downtown with above average ratings. It’s very clean. Bathroom roomy and clean. Good sized fridge and queen beds were comfy. The only negatives might be small bath towels and thin blanket. Front staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.
