I would like to commend the front desk agent. I checked in on Sunday October 26th around 5pm. During the drive we found out our daughter who is a student at UCSC wanted to sleep in a real bed. So I was checking in my wife thought it would be funny to interrupt the agent when she said king bed. At that moment my wife says very loudly CHANGE to TWO beds and side eyed me. Agent casually looked at me and without missing a beat started searching for an available room with two beds. Awkward as it was she did an amazing job getting us a great room with a balcony high up viewing the beach. Even gave perfect directions to it. Room was clean quiet and perfectly set up even with a tissue rose in the tissue box. Everyone far exceeded expectations. Thank you to all involved.

The worker that checked us in, Dennis is absolutely the reason we will be back. He went out of his way to help us. Only have two complaints. The sliding door to the restroom was not sliding properly and was very difficult to open and close. And our room was not cleaned the second day we were there. We ran out of a few things because of this. Overall, it was a very lovely stay and we will be back!

Thank you to the one and only Andrea! She was running the lobby and hotel like if it was family. I really appreciate the attentiveness and the friendliness. Hope she gets a raise or bonus this year, she truly deserves it. We got the room we paid for. Great parking right next to the property, parking is VERY tight on 1st floor. Beautiful view to the boardwalk and beach. Busy street and lively. 4/5 We would stay again!

Comfortable place in great location

I would definitely stay here again. Great location, clean and comfortable. Despite being right across from the Boardwalk, the room was well insulated against outside noise. Views from the room and rooftop balcony were lovely. My complaints are minimal but may make a difference for other travelers: onsite food options were limited and it was not easy to load or unload luggage from the parking lot.

Disliked: Staff & service
The check in was easy and straight forward. The location was great. But i found it unacceptable that the gouse keepers were blaring music at 9-930 when check out isnt until 11a. So either sleeping in or enjoying the serene beach am was not possible. I thought it was another guest but when i went into the hallway and it was housekeeping blaring music, i found it unacceptable.

The front desk ladies were rude and not helpful. They made us feel like an inconvenience to them and had zero communication with the house keeping staff on when our room would be ready. Very unprofessional. I’m not one to ever write any time of review but this needs to be known by future customers.

Not sure about other people's ratings

Clean hotel, but pretty basic and noisy. Close to the beach, so that noise was to be expected. But the walls are thin enough that I could hear conversations and even a snoring neighbor. I know you get what you pay for but I suggest you interpret "Deluxe" and "partial ocean view" liberally. Staff couldn't really do much about most, although everyone was nice.
