Perfect getaway spot to enjoy Santa Cruz
Easy check in/out great location. Walking distance to everything. You don't come to Santa Cruz to stay in the room. Water pressure is great, everything works fine
Only negative is the ac/heater unit is incredibly loud and when it kicks on at 3am will absolutely wake you. Also the outside lights are very bright and if you need a dark room to sleep you might have an issue even with the blinds closed.

This is a very convenient location, just across the street from the start of the pier. There's nothing fancy about it, but it gets the job done and is perfect if you just need a home base.
