    We asked for late checkout, after agreeing the night before, the person at the desk was very rude and demanded we leave at 11 even though there were many vacancies and no cleaning staff at the time. Very disappointing

    We checked in at 11pm after a busy day. The guy at the front desk gave us our key cards and explained where to go. We got to the room and the key card was not scanning after several attempts. After a few attempts, a man inside swung the door open and looked upset. They gave us a room that was occupied! We walked back up to the front and this is where I got upset with this process. Mistakes happen and that’s fine… but when we told them we got an occupied room… the 2 workers were having a side conversation about the situation like we weren’t there. They were saying to each other “people are in that room?” “there shouldn’t be anyone in there” “they’re not supposed to be in there” “should I go ask them what they’re doing in there because they checked out earlier today” etc etc etc. Sir…. Me and my family are just trying to lay down. Figure that out later after you give me a different room. After a few minutes and having someone check a room, we finally got our new room keys. The room was dusty and had unclean spots on some surfaces. All of that being said… you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t stay here again honestly. It was a last minute booking that was close by, but I’d rather drive way farther than to stay here.

    The room was clean and customer service was great! The bed was rough, too firm for both my wife and I. The lobby and dining room were uncomfortably warm. And it was cool (not cold) outside. But the heater/AC in the room worked great. The breakfast was decent. What you’d expect. If you want something different, there’s a jack in the box next door.

    Everything there was good. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and in very good condition. It was very quiet most of the time, especially at night. One serious drawback is the parking lot. The spaces are very tight and there isn't much room for getting in or out of a parked car without touching the cars next to yours. The parking lot next to the Jack in the Box has no outlet and not much room to turn around if you drive to the end of it and find no empty parking spaces. There were a lot of large company trucks parked there. It appears that the hotel must have a contract with some construction company. We ended up parking on the street where there was plenty of space between the sidewalk and the traffic lanes. The pool and hot tub area was clean and the water looked very clear and clean. The temperature of the hot tub was just right! And there were towels available at the pool area for drying off. The breakfast offerings were many! The food was very good except the eggs were a bit overdone, possibly because they had been sitting in the heated pan for a couple hours by the time I came to eat. The bed was a bit stiff and the pillows were a bit flat. The air conditioner worked very well and wasn't too loud. Overall I'd rate our stay as a solid "B+" for the price we paid.

    Location was convenient to our purpose for visiting the area for 2 nights. Initially staff was rather rude. Took an extended phone call after beginning the process of our check-in, rather than put the call on hold for a couple of minutes. Fancy coffee machine in common area cannot adequately serve all guests. There was 3-5 people in line for coffee at any given time in the mornings. Additionally it malfunctioned & needed servicing at least twice during our brief stay. "Hot" breakfast items, while rather tasty, were not tended to efficiently, patrons had to ask for attendance. Bed was squeaky due to metal base and king mattress was quite lumpy & worn. Pillows were fine. A/c unit was pleasantly quiet. Mini fridge & microwave were enclosed in the closet which was great for noise abatement & glowing lights. Parking in their lot, while convenient, spaces were unnecessarily small & tight. Which isn't good with luggage to manage.

    The breakfast was replenished the first morning. I think someone have to ask the second morning. The hot tub has awesome jets, but it could stand to be a little hotter. The staff was friendly and helpful overall. However, the cleaning staff did not replenish the shower gel, nor the bag for the ice bucket. Lastly, the parking lot is really tight - they should consider how they might expand it.

    It was very noisy at even 1:00 in the morning. The room was very 1990 basic and no soap other than this minuscule little jar. Too late to call for real soap. However I left a personal item in my room and called back that day. They found it…saved it and I picked it up two weeks later. Thank you!

    Stayed in a room 131 that, unfortunately, was right next to the kitchen. Every morning, starting at 4am, loud banging occurred until 5:30. (Why you would put guests that are going to be there in that specific room for 4 days is beyond me ). Front desk couldn't help because there were no rooms available. So, 4 nights of being woke up at 4am (while on vacation) made for very long days (and headaches due to lack of sleep). The bubbles dont work in the hot tub all the time (and it was more like tepid bath water). I didn't even get all the way in because it was too cold. Rooms are okay, but the direct tv glitches a lot. Will not stay here again and will definitely not recommend it to anyone either. Ended up buying ear plugs to try and dim the noise (didn't help much). Also, housekeeping came in and threw my food away even with the do not disturb sign on.

    The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. I traveled with 2 dogs. They had a turf area for them to do their business. The onky issue i had was, you can't leave them in the room alone which is understandable, however when i took them with me to get a breakfast i was told i had to take the dog out unless they were service dogs. So needless to say kinda hard to get breakfast. I did see other people in there with dogs and no one said anything to them. I believe they said something because i asked a question when getting food. Other than that the stay was nice.

    We were given two rooms at check-in. One was dirty, never turned over. Went to the front desk and were told the housekeeping staff have left for the day so they issued two other rooms and they both reaked of freshly smoked cigarettes. Also there was a whole crew of workers from a tree trimming company, yelling at each other from room to room and going in the hot tub in their underwear. Overall we got a bad vibe and it felt unsafe for our family of 5. The front desk lady refused to give us a refund even though hotels.com staff went above and beyond to call them and ask for a flexibility given the circumstance. So we left and stayed at the nearby beautiful Hilton hotel, but still had to pay for the two rooms that we did not sleep in.

    Pros: friendly staff, comfortable beds, typical hotel breakfast. Small pool area looked clean and outside property is maintained well. Very quiet, easy access to 17. Cons: Scuff marks on room walls, window curtain very dirty, bathroom is very small and had some mold growing in ceiling corner. Dirt in corners of bathroom. We have a compact car, and could manage the parking ok, but larger cars have a hard time. If rooms are taken care of better and deep cleaned, I’d consider staying again, but in current condition would skip.

    The room was clean with basic amenities like mini fridge, microwave. I paid over $100 per night which I think was little overpriced given how loud it gets early in the morning. If you are not a morning person then you might get really annoyed with the sound of vehicles running right next to the road. Other than that decent room with decent breakfast.

    The room itself was okay, but it did seem dusty, as if it hadn’t been cleaned thoroughly in a while. There was noticeable dust in the bathroom, especially along the floor corners. One major factor that impacted my overall rating was the lack of a restroom available near the lobby for guests. During breakfast, several customers, including my family, needed to use the restroom, but there was no public restroom accessible. This caused everyone to have to return to their rooms, which was inconvenient. Other than these concerns, our stay was overall okay.

There were no towels in the room upon check in. We told the woman at the desk and the staff brought two body towels. No hand towels or washcloths. We had to go back to the desk and ask for more towels. The pool chairs were falling apart. The door had gaps on the bottom and side where light could be seen through. There were a couple of people staying there who were unsafe, bizarre behavior, smoking outside the doors cigarettes and pot, pants falling down.

    There are BRIGHT streetlights that are 20 feet away from the rooms that blast an OBSCENE amount of light into the rooms. Safety, I get it. But putting the thinnest white shade as the singular barrier to cover it does nothing. The first nights sleep was absolutely AWFUL. We got maybe 3/4 hours of sleep. The next day I went to the hardware store to the clamps and had to ask for an extra blanket to clamp onto the shade cover to block the obscene amount of light coming in. This is unacceptable, just install a thicker shade. Then the WiFi completely stopped working. I’m in IT and know all the tricks (forget network and rejoin, reboots etc) and it still didn’t work. The room was dirty and had clumps of hair attached to the bathroom wall, which I think I speak for everyone in thinking that doesn’t instill confidence nor comfort when staying. We planned to have a couple lazy mornings getting started but ended up leaving as soon as we woke up and couldn’t wait to check out. We weren’t expecting a 4 star experience here but this place absolutely doesn’t match the reviews on here, trip advisor or google.

    Clean but too far from Santa Cruz. 20 minutes to the town . Near the north and south 17 entrances. Nothing around hotel. Housekeeping not done daily. Room was spacious and clean. Tv only regular channels. Breakfasts were nice. Plenty of choices for family. Coffee machine very nice with choices of coffees. Staff was friendly. Price was reasonable but next time I’d stay within Santa Cruz for a little extra.

    The hotel was ok. The room was a good size. What we did not like was lack of housekeeping. Only every other day would they resupply towels and soaps. The breakfast was very nice- eggs potatoes sausage waffles cereal and breads. Clean outside with a pool and hot tub. It was located near north and south 17 ramps which made it nice. About 20 minutes to the town of Santa Cruz. Nothing to do so Next time we would stay within Santa Cruz. The staff was nice though.

    Cons- The carpet in the room was very disgusting. I did not feel comfortable walking on it without shoes which made it difficult with two small children who like to play on the floor. The sink and bathtub had drainage issues. We did not feel comfortable at all in the rooms.

    The air-conditioning thermostat did not work well so we were either freezing or hot all night. There was an underlying smell of smoke that got stronger as the night went on. What I texted to the customer service in the morning: Someone has definitely been smoking in this room. Allergies kept me awake for most of the night. They replied: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry to hear that you've experienced discomfort during your stay. I understand how allergies can be difficult, especially when traveling. Our team is committed to ensuring a pleasant environment for all of our guests, and we take concerns about smoking very seriously. When you checked in yesterday afternoon, the room was thoroughly inspected, and no signs of smoke or any unusual order were detected. Additionally, our supervisor did not report any concerns about the room from the previous guest, which suggests there was no apparent smoke at that time. If there had been a noticeable smell, we would have expected it to be brought to our attention right away. We're always happy to assist guests with room changes or address any issues as soon as they arise. In order to smell smoke that has settled into the carpet, someone has to spend more time than just a quick inspection and cleaning products will mask the smell for housekeeping. The smell got stronger as the night went on. All our friends who live near the Scotts Valley location said they would never stay here, we should have listened.

    The bed was so bad it made my back hurt and when I went to use the hot tub to help with my back, it was like warm. Continental breakfast experience was poor, not stocked and couldn’t find utensils. Customer service needs improvement. I was told the manager is rarely on property. When I finally spoke with her, she was dismissive and condescending. I will NEVER come back to this property. I’ll be posting negative reviews and letting everyone know about my horrible experience. This was a family emergency and all I needed was a comfortable place to lay my head with working amenities. I paid over $600 for 2 nights and ended up with a few hours of sleep each night, back pain, overall worst experience traveling and I don’t think that’s acceptable.

    However, the room was missing/had broken items on arrival (remote control for tv, hair dryer, hand soap) and the walls and floor are paper thin apparently. We received a complaint from a neighbor about noise after walking quietly from the bed to the desk area- I didn’t like that a neighbor could call our room directly. Overall we would have been very happy if the room was 1/2 the price, but as priced was disappointing.

    I booked thinking this was one of the better hotels in the area and stayed with my girlfriend. We realized quickly that this was more of a Motel. The room was stuffy with no way to open windows, there were questionable clientele coming in and out through all hours of the night. The jacuzzi and pool were surrounded by all the rooms that could look out at you vs. being private. Zero chance at a good view. Just the main road nearby and a gas station. I tried to cancel my second night and was checked out by 11am, but they were firm on charging me for the second night, despite having most of their rooms vacant and the bad experience. Not much good to report here folks, but this is what you get for over $160 a night in this economy. Bad times.

    The property itself is very old and worn down. Everything is loud, the plumbing the wall air unit. It was clean. The person that checked me in was very professional and friendly, but the overall quality and condition of the property is a three star at best I walked around from there. There were a couple Fast food restaurants and a convenience store nearby but that’s it unless you wanna drive. . I am not sure where the plus part of the title of the property falls into place.

    This hotel is as okay for the price. It was also conveniently located for us. The property itself was somewhat lacking. It’s basically an upgraded version of a cheaper motel. The rooms are very small if there are two queen beds. The bathroom is also very small. It would also be great if there was some sort of nightlight or small lamp because it was very dark in the room at night, making it hard to get to the bathroom. The fan in the bathroom was very loud and came on with the light so we would disturb each other in the night. The shower handle was also a bit broken in our room. They do have a nice pet area that our dog liked!
