This motel is very close to the boardwalk and therefore allows walking to attractions. It’s perfect for a quick stopover. Breakfast included so great to get the day started. If you need a clean hotel, book here.

It was a little bit of a last minute decision to spend a holiday weekend in Santa Cruz - normally we don't travel on holiday weekends, but in this case we had to since we had to be in Salinas on Sunday so decided to make a fun trip out of it. I didn't want to spend a fortune so was looking for convenient accommodations that weren't out of our price range. We were very pleasantly surprised by this Super 8. It is close to the beach/boardwalk area - an easy couple blocks walk. Our room was large and appeared to be freshly renovated and had the usual amenities - microwave, refrigerater, coffee-maker. It was clean and nicely decorated. It was a warm weekend and our room faced the western setting sun so the air conditioning was appreciated. There was plenty of hot water for showers and the complimentary breakfast was fine and the usual: cereals, fruit, pastries, juices, make-your-own waffles.The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Our only quibble with the room was that there was no closet to hang your clothes. There was a dresser, but no closet. The room was large enough that a wardrobe could have easily been added.
