Nice enough motel in eastside Santa Cruz. Very friendly and helpful staff, got me switched to a studio suite from the room I'd booked, for a slight upcharge. There is a block of rooms that sit in the middle of the property, but I preferred to have a room in the main L-shaped block with parking spaces and small sitting areas in front, (However, those smaller rooms in the block are a bit less expensive.) Be aware that other than a coffeemaker, the kitchen units do not have ANY cookware, utensils, plates, etc. so if you intend to prepare food in the kitchen, you'll need to bring all your own supplies. Despite being on a busy 4-lane road (Soquel Ave.) it was nice and quiet at night. Given how pricey even the most basic accommodation in Santa Cruz can be (especially on a weekend), this tidy place offers decent value.
