For a last minute trip to Santa Cruz, CA, we booked a night at the above-mentioned hotel. We stayed at the other Travelodge last year (the one on Ocean Street) and decided to pay a bit more so we could be closer to the Boardwalk. What a mistake. I'd like to share my list of frustrations with this hotel. 1.... more

Have stayed here a couple of time and every time I come here thinking things might have changed for the better but I am wrong every time. This motel advertises in the coupon book. Whenever I have come here with a discount coupon - the owner or his wife always says that they are out of the coupon rate rooms... more

i stayed here at the beginning of last may with my boyfriend and his friend. we were doing a road trip to santa cruz thing so we wanted a cheap place to stay for three or four days and thats why we picked this place. all in all it was a joke. we got there very early and the manager... more

Terrible is an understatement. The bathroom floor was slimy, the fixtures were crusty, the carpet was dirty dirty dirty, the dresser was falling apart, but the worst of it all was the pillows; the pillow cases were white but the pillow inside was disgustingly BROWN! I almost puked. I immediatley went to the lobby and demanded my money back and... more

I reserved a room online -- a 2 queen bed "suite" for me and my 3 teenage children. The pics online looked good. When we arrived at about sundown, we were disappointed as we pulled into the parking lot. We went in to pay. The manager was rude and would not give AAA discount. Our room was depressing. It looked... more

This motel was the worst ever. I asked for more towels and they actually wanted me to bring my dirty ones down to the lobby right away so they could wash them. It was filthy. The bathroom had contact paper on the counter to make it look like marble. The breakfast was juice and poppyseed muffins sliced into about 7... more

The other reviewers comments about the exceeding rudeness of the proprietors as well as the filthiness of the rooms are right on. We had made reservations on-line. While I was exploring the shops downtown my husband checked in - entered the room - and checked OUT!!! There was a substantial amount of mildew all around the bathroom. When he complained... more

We chose this hotel because the website stated that it was a "family-friendly" hotel - this is only one of the many untruths about this hotel that we discovered. They do not enforce the "family-friendly" curfew just ask our neigbors who arrived at 1:00 am and proceeded to have a small but very "potent" party in their room until about... more

This was our first vacation in two years, and I had hoped for a nice room for me my daughter and my husband. When my husband called to verify our reservations I made on-line the manager was very rude to my husband. Then when we checked in, his wife (I guess) was very abrupt. And when someone called she yelled... more
