I have not stayed at this motel in a number of years. It has gone downhill. First, they are pet friendly but they do charge $25. for family pet. I have a service animal and my friend has two dogs. One is a pet. I was helping my friend by paying the deposit for her room. I signed up the pet and paid the $25 fee. And the $150 deposit. Then signed up my service animal.

We stayed because we had to attend a morning wedding the next day. We checked in left our luggage and left. After being in Santa Cruz boardwalk on Friday for the movie at the beach we returned around midnight to the hotel room. We wanted to shower but we had no hot water we ran it for 30 minutes then called the front desk who told us to run it for 10 more minutes. Still no hot water so I called the front desk and got no answer so I had to go to the front desk. Front desk stated another room had complained as well. He stated he was going to check the boiler. I went back to my room and minutes later he came knocking and verified we only had cold water. While he checked I sat on the bed and could feel the bed springs

Walls were paper thin. Upstairs sounded like they were rearranging furniture until 230am. The outlets didn’t work so I couldn’t charge my phone. Hot water in the shower didn’t work and it took them a while to get it working.
