"The motel was fine for an overnight stay. The day clerk was extremely nice and friendly; she even let my daughter borrow her phone charger. Don't get a downstairs room facing the parking lot; I heard people coming and going.2017-08-04"

"Nice and quiet. We didn't hear any street noise in our room. The decor was dated, but the motel was renovating their rooms; once the work is done, it will be a great place to stay. Good breakfast.2015-04-12"

"The hotel was easy to access from the freeway.2016-04-23"
"We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. Our room was right by the front desk and dining hall, so we heard a lot of noise from indoors and out. The beds were comfortable, and the linens and bedding were clean and nice. We couldn't get the AC to run on fan only. The bathroom was fine; there was just a little rust in the bathtub. The indoor pool was small, but the kids enjoyed it. No whirlpool. Breakfast had some protein options. There was a Denny's next door. 2016-04-01"

"The hotel was nice, and the room was clean and comfortable. The employees were friendly.2021-04-26"
"The room was OK, but the hotel manager was an absolute nightmare. We needed to check out before 7 AM but couldn't get into the lobby. We rang the bell and tried to call, but no one appeared, so we had to return after our race just to leave the key. The front desk clerk said she couldn't give us a discount, so we asked her to call the manager. He was extremely rude to me. Don't stay here.2018-02-27"
"Clean hotel room. Staff was friendly. Nice breakfast.2015-04-04"
"5-minute was to the main Santa Cruz beach. The price reflected the location more than the quality. The motel was basic but had clean rooms and adequate beds. The continental breakfast selection was extremely limited.2017-09-26"
"Great location. The motel room was clean and quiet and had a nice view.2016-10-10"
"Great location. The motel room was nice, clean, and quiet in the evening. If you need handicap parking, use the loading zone and then use the lot for longer-term parking.2016-09-05"
HotelGuides makes it easy to find hotels that are pet friendly. I also like the ease of changing reservations and that I don’t have to pay in advance.

At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
