I booked a room here on a Friday night on very short notice, most other places in Santa Cruz were full. After reading other reviews I was expecting the worst but since I only needed an overnight I figured I could handle it. Well I didn't really have any problems. I thought my room was fine. It seemed newly remodeled... more

We booked a room for one night on our trip across the west coast. The room was ok. There was a small fridge, the bed was ok and the restroom was clean. The AC was working very well, unlike the wireless, which was slow as hell. The breakfast was ok, nothing special: cerials, coffee, toast and orange juice. All in... more

First of all the front desk is terribly rude! The parking lot was filled with people hiding in thier cars scoping your car out as you walk into your room. But then the room, well let's just say that there are no words for how disgusting this place was. Terrible odor as you walk into the door, floors filthy as... more

First of all I don´t understand people rating this motel with one point! Everyone knows it´s not Ritz Carlton, but seems to have similar expectations. We stayed there in March 09 and were quite happy with our stay. The front desk woman (Sheena?) was really nice and showed us the room before booking although we arrived at 10 pm or... more

I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. Front desk lady was very nice & helpful. The room was large & roomy, but should be remodeled and modernized. Carpet was dirty, had stains & bad odor. Sheets on the bed were old & very thin. Didn't feel comfortable sleeping on bed; Didn't feel clean enough, felt like there might be... more

I was on a charity bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angles for the Arthritis Foundation and checked in after the first days 85 mile ride. I walked into the room and was hit with a very strong odor and smell of chemical cleaners. The bed spread was faded, worn and stained. The furniture was worn, chipped and stained... more

We had not planned to stop in Santa Cruz but due to the wildfires in Big Sur we decided to go further up the coast. Santa Cruz is OK, nice beach front & pier but this motel is not nice! No aircon, tatty room, unhelpful staff, and the area itself felt un-safe. Overall this was the worst place we have... more

Most of the reviews make it sound absolutely terrible. The only terrible thing is the paper thin walls and very creeky floors. The rooms are not lavish or up-to-date in decor, but come on, you don't stay at the Travelodge for that reason. The reason to stay here is the close location to downtown city life (3 blocks), good local... more
