Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Pros: friendly and helpful employees, the room was very clean, the bed was comfy and I slept well, the heater worked, hot water and decent water pressure in the shower, shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap/lotion provided, convenient location for getting around Santa Cruz. Cons: the lighting in the room was terrible (only one fluorescent light fixture on the wall and two tiny reading lamps next to the bed), wall are pretty thin, very loud plumbing in the motel (you'll hear all your neighbors using the sink/taking a shower), the ventilation fan in the bathroom sounded like a dying dog, pool/hot tub looked like they needed to be drained and cleaned (did not go in). Probably wouldn't stay here again, but it was fine for the price.

Absolutely perfect and exceded expectations
Everything was perfect. Bed nice n comfy. Pillows fluffy. Water pressure and temp nice. Light fixtures modernized. Tv worked. Shower doors were fancy. Absolutely no complaints. Didn’t use the pool fridge or microwave or coffee pot but they were there! Unfortunately no pics were taken so I don’t have any to share. I’d definitely return again.
