I got this hotel on hotwire and after checking out the reviews I was really scared, but after all it wasn't too bad and definately a very good value! The receptionist was friendly enough, the room seemed to have been remodeled recently (see photos) the only annoying thing was that it smelled like carpet cleaners; the carpet looked very clean... more

I have never met a more unfriendly staff. The owners son will put him out of business. He is one of the rudest people I have ever met. AND told me to Kiss his butt!! There are to many other places to stay in Santa Cruz and if I were you I would use one of them. I now have... more

My wife and I drove round Claifornia for one month in January and we chose this place for its location in Santa Cruz. It was ok, everything was clean if a little worn. If we had to stop in a Knights Inn again then we would. It was great value but not a romm to linger in! more

The only reason I rated this dump a "1" is because there is no zero! Looks are deceiving on this one, although it's close to the Boardwalk, you definitely won't enjoy your stay. You're better off staying in your car for free. The staff was rude (with a deceiving smile on their face), the room was located in a noisy... more

I was on tour with my band and booked this hotel because the accomodations were cheap. Although the rooms themselves were OK, the woman working at the front desk, who I also assumed to be one of the proprietors of the establishment, was incredibly unfriendly and bordering on mean to myself and my fellow travellers. I think she might have... more

Unless you get this hotel for a rock bottom price - I would avoid The rooms are big, ours had a two bedrooms, a living room and bathroom. However, they are of a very poor standard. The receptionist will give you a warm welcome. But there is a reason for this. His hotel is so bad, it is the least... more

Pubic hair on toilet when we arrived. Did someone clean the room? Holes in the blankets. Bedding is in better shape at thrift stores. Dead bug in my sheets. Curtains would not close completely...no privacy. Electrical tape in carpet. Peeling paint throughout room. Water from both sink and shower shot out in all directions. Cheated us on rate quoted on... more

I knew not to expect too much since AAA rated it 2 diamonds, but it didn't even meet that expectation. The room was very shabby and needed paint, some lamps didn't work (all were chipped), there was no hair dryer, no shampoo, the towels were tiny and scratchy and the room had a funky smell. The owners told us we'd... more
