There was a couple of very warm days so being in the room was hot and uncomfortable.

Proximity to Boardwalk

The air conditioning was old and not working.

Perfect

Right across from the Boardwalk. Didn't have to worry about my car or pay for parking.

I was on the first floor and had a patio, but the wall was so high.

We enjoyed our stay and will come again. Thanks for the discount on wrist bands for Santa Cruz

Front Desk lady was very nice. Cleaning people were also patient

Pillow could have been firmer and a lamp in room would have been good.

Excellent hotel in an ideal location.

Location ideal - short walk across the road to a diner which was excellent. Very close to the beach. Supermarket next door if required. The town was not too far either for anything else. Room was lovely and big with added seating outside on the balcony. Facility to barbecue and sit outside if required. Park close to your room.

Nothing we did not like about the property at all.

Prison lile

I liked nothing about this place... Nothing

I stayed in the 200 cell block, behind the heavy iron prison like gate up the dirty elevator to the 2nd floor where I was greeted by literally the most uncomfortable hotel beds I've ever slept on. Spend a couple of bucks more and stay somewhere safer and cleaner/newer

location was great, but room was stinky and staff not so friendly.

the location of the Inn was fantastic and convenient!

the carpets smelled like stinky feet. The staff weren’t friendly. The staff looked serious like if they were mad at the world.

Superb

the location was wonderful and convenient. continental breakfast was a huge plus and they had water and coffee for free all day long. very nice stay and having the person balcony’s was a nice touch.

the beds are very very firm and the elevator was a little rickety but nothing else of complaint.

For the location and overall offerings for this property, we were happy and satisfied and would most

The Boardwalk, it is literally across the street (within a few steps) of the property. They offer a continental breakfast at a designated time every morning (please check with the front desk for the exact times) which offers an assortment of baked goods, bagels/cream cheese/peanut butter, cereal/oatmeal/milk, hard-boiled eggs, orange juice and of course, coffee. The room also has a small fridge and a small microwave which came in quite handy for us.

There is, however, a slight issue with noise. For example, muffled voices can be heard from time to time--I think mostly coming from the door outside. But we could also hear the faint sounds of toilet flushing and showers running. It's not some loud decibel sounds, but it exists and could be an issue for people who want complete silence.
