Pros: Everyone was very helpful. Check in was super easy and they even took the bags to my room while we went to dinner. The rooms are nice, surf inspired decor. Not super fancy but you are paying for the location and the views from your room. We were on the 5th floor and had our door open all day and night listening to the waves. So peaceful. We did go off season so we got a really good rate compared to high season.

It was lovely to see the sunrise in the morning just above the bay. The bathroom is spacious. We also enjoyed the heated pool and whirlpool. Next to the guest room, there is a room with coffee machine (Jura brand) to prepare different kinds of coffee (espresso, capuccino, americano) and also hot water for tea (selection of 3-4 sorts were available: mint, herbal sweet dreams, herbal lemon, black Lipton) and hot chocolate - everything free. There is also a station with drinking water for refilling (also for free). The design of the hotel is nice and goes together with the seashore atmosphere. The Picnic Basket bistro next to the hotel is great for breakfasts and lunches.

7.9 Good
Pros: I liked the rooms were clean and user friendly. We had a pleasant night over there.
Cons: The only suggestion I have is to please train your staff for hotel management and customer relations. I was not welcomed during the breakfast. The waiter started shouting on me when I was trying to get tea. He refused to help me. I was not explained and assisted in receiving the breakfast. My children were hungry and I was not able to provide them a happy breakfast event.

Pros: I surprised my husband with a quick getaway to Santa Cruz and booked a room at the Casablanca. I was shocked to find out how close to the water it was! With the warf on your right and the Boardwalk on your left, our stay was complete with the Casablanca on the Beach! We could walk right down to the water or any shops or restaurants.
Our room was a family room with a cute living area we could see the water from and a private room in the back. The decor was vintage yet updated and it was fairly quiet. They even had a great little continental breakfast- not the typical stale bagels and coffee! We will definitely be coming back :)

3.7 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: The room was small and dirty. Was angry how much I paid to stay in such a dump. Not worth spending that kind of money for this place.

Cons: The hardwood floor appeared clean but did leave our socks dirty. I expect this in ever hotel though. Even in $300/nt carpeted rooms. That's why we always wear socks. Everything looked and smelled clean otherwise.
6.5 Good
Pros: Great location, nice terrace but needs updated furniture. Staff was friendly and the rooms were clean.
Cons: Older resort need of facelift. No screens on windows or window locks. Tile was broken in bathroom and shower stall very small. The vent above the toilet was open and not screwed in.
4.5 Okay
Pros: I loved the proximity to the boardwalk and the beach access. Restaurants were all in walking distance. Off street parking was great. Staff very nice and let us keep our car there while we spent the day at the boardwalk after checking out.
Cons: This hotel was extremely overpriced as are most in this area. For just $20 more, we could have been in a much nicer and updated hotel. While it had charm, it was not worth the money we paid. Also, we came during construction and were placed in the room right next to the “workshop”. Kayak had said waterfront view; however, we had a view of the parking lot. The balcony was accessed only by leaving the room. And while that did have a view, it was full of paint and buckets of cement which made it basically inaccessible.

Pros: The hotel had a policy of a security deposit which I understand if the guests are young or have young children perhaps or are a large group. I am a single female in my 50's, highly unlikely to cause any damage. I didn't want 100$ tied up on my credit card so I gave the man a hundred dollars cash. When I went to check out, the lady said there was no cash to be returned to me and seemed to doubt my claim. It was both annoying and unnecessary. Also, the hotel is much more run down then depicted. Still, it was comfortable enough.

4.0 Okay
Pros: The location is great. Only a 10 minute walk to Downtown Santa Cruz
Cons: The room we got had a spa tub in it. I was excited to be able to take a bath but there was no plug for the tub, had to improvise. Then once I got the tub filled up the spa tub did not work. I set the timer multiple times and would press the button, nothing happened. Then I couldn't even call the front desk to ask for a plug or anything because the phone in the room didn't work either, no tone. Pretty disappointed multiple things in the room did not work.

Pros:
Cons: It was a little run down but clean
6.0 Good
Pros: The price was right for the room and the location for the off season.
Cons: I did not like that the price for pets was not upfront on the website, I dont expect pet to stay for free, but I also dont like being blindsided with an extra fee I'm not expecting. I even called and asked about being pet friendly, and the only answer I got was, yes. No o e told me about fees in my call, why should i have to ask the extra questions when i already stated I'm bringing pets. And a fee for each pet is unnecessary. Put coffee makers in the rooms. Its ridiculous to have to wait until the main office opens a 8am to get free coffee... I'm and early riser and would like coffee with my fee for the room when I want coffee.

5.0 Okay
Pros: Location, location, location. It's hard to get any closer to the boardwalk. And free parking was a nice perk, though the number of spaces are limited.
Cons: Except for the furniture, the place generally looked quite well worn. Nothing wrong with old, but disheveled is something else.
10.0 Excellent

Pros: The room was very big. Great value.
Cons: The shower needs a heavier shower curtain the water has such high pressure it blows the curtain out of the shower and the floor gets soaked. And it hurts to shower due to the shower head feels like little razors hitting you. Besides that the skinny man with the mustach that works there he said he did. He hit my mother in laws honda and lied about that. Orher thn that the room was great. We found all the smoke detectors in the drawer which was kinda odd but overall our stay was good.

6.2 Good
Pros: I loved the closeness to the beach boardwalk and the down town area is so close
Cons: Seemed like it was a more of a permanent residence for some guests we had to switch rooms because they were being really loud and obnoxious and there was supposed to be no smoking and they all were smoking outside our room. Seemed to be in more of a "upcoming" neighborhood. There was someone with a yappy dog that wouldn't shut up all night. You had to pay for parking per night and then there was never any parking when you got there! And best of yet the owners didn't seem to even care! i would have paid more for something better not a good deal at all.

Pros: The first time we stayed here, we were pleasantly surprised. It looked just like a little budget motel. The room turned out to be spacious and clean with a very beachy vibe. The beds were decent too. Walking distance to the boardwalk!
Cons: On our second visit here, it was like staying at a completely different hotel. The room felt like it was made for one bed and another one was shoved in. Sheets were stained and the beds were way less comfortable. The shower was almost too small to properly wash and could have used a remodel. It looks like. $100 security deposit was taken out of my account, but that was never mentioned when I made the reservation, when I checked in, or when I was told the total amount.
6.5 Good
Pros: No breakfast served. WiFi did not work. Bed was comfortable. Room was very clean, a big plus.
Cons: More seating accommodations. One bench, mostly under the hanging clothes, was inadequate. The bed was a bit too high to offer comfortable seating (fine for sleeping - just not for sitting).

Pros: Somewhat friendly , we went to a concert at the catalyst and it was perfect in walking distance and to the boardwalk. Perfect if you staying for a night.
Cons: The floors were filthy, my socks were black. The parking fees and other fees added on at time of check-in that weren't mentioned at the time of booking, I was not pleased about.

Cons: It was dirty. The lamp shades were stained and not straight. The drawers were broken and stained inside. The bathroom had someone else's hair in it. It was the dirtiest place I had ever stayed. I seriously thought I was going to end up sick after. I just wish they look the time to clean and replace things that clearly were stained. I wouldn't recommend this motel to a friend. I would tell them paying more to go elsewhere is definitely worth it. Yuck.

Pros: The bed was comfortable. Staff gave us extra towels when requested.
Cons: There was plastic covering part of the motel. Carpet was disgusting, grimy. Towels had stains and our room was missing the shower curtain. The top safety lock was missing and had obvious signs it was continuously broken off. No continental breakfast.
5.0 Okay
Pros: This hotel is about a 1/2 mile walk to the beach. Also it was one of the cheapest hotels that we could find in Santa Cruz, that would sleep 5 to a room. The staff was friendly.
Cons: On busy nights, the parking in their parking area wasn't sufficient. I didn't like the blinds, they let in too much light from the hotel lights at night. The room was mostly clean, but they need to clean the walls and the back of the bathroom door.
2.9 Mediocre
Pros:
Cons: It was bad, the bed was infested with bugs and I wanted to switch a room the owner wouldn’t admit to it. I had to live there for five days before I could move into my new apartment. It was the worst 5 days of my life, and once you booked you can’t cancel the reservation so be careful
4.0 Okay
Pros: close to boardwalk and very nice heated pool
Cons: there were drug sales happening at all hours in parking lot, no security, the mattress was badly stained, there was a mildew/mold smell (-possible water damage from recent fires/sprinklers)
1.0 Poor
Pros: Nothing!
Cons: Scary place, transients living there, police made arrests in the room next to ours, the place was noisy, people fighting ALL night, Filthy room, rundown, uncomfortable beds, ripped furniture, rude staff and so much more, but you must get the idea..

Cons:
3.3 Mediocre
Pros: The hotel clerk was pleasant. It had an indoor pool and hot tub. But not tub wasn't working.
Cons: I was put into the "new room" which didn't even have a number. I believe it was at one time the maid supply closet area as it was much smaller than any other room I habe stayed in at this hote, and sat way back from all the other rooms by a good 10 feet. I was given an actual metal key instead of the usual hotel key card. The room wasnt exactly finished there was no toilet paper bolder. The door didnt seem to fit correctly to the door way There was about 1\4 to 1/2 inch gap at the bottom of the door. There was appar3ntly a fire recently as half of the buikding is still covered in black soot and right next to my room there is a plywood divider I assume to keep people from walking there. It was upstairs even though I asked for downstairs. There was no too sheet on 5he bed only a bottom, and it was just a flat sheet that wasn't bug enough to stay tucked in on the corners. The hit tub wasn't working, the fridge bar3ky got cool, not at all enough to keep food from spoiling. It was rather disappointing and I would not stay there if I were given that room again.
7.0 Good
Pros: Pool!
Cons: Our room smelled like wet dog. Also, the kids got bites after staying here but not sure where they came from.
2.8 Mediocre
Pros: Location & that they take dogs.
Cons: Fitted sheets. Sheets without holes. The keys never worked. The rug was awful. The drawers were dirty. The doors were not sturdy & they had been broken & “fixed”. The blinds were badly placed do the sunlight woke you up way too early in the morning.

Cons: Hot tub didn’t work Heat pool wasn’t Hotel front desk was poor and Acted like it was a bother. 7 am no coffee come back in 15 minutes was response.

2.9 Mediocre
Pros: The outside is deceiving. Looks like it could be nice. But it's seriously neglected and run down. RUN FAR AWAY!
Cons: This place is awful! We were given a room that had drywall patches but not painted, something splattered on the walls, dirty, tub resurfaced paint all coming up..and so much more. I went to ask if we could cancel and the guy said no. He gave us another room and seemed shocked we didn't like the first one, even after I told him about everything. The next room was slightly better..but still horrible. But we were stuck. There was no tp holder..just the toilet paper sitting inside were the holder should be, the tub was resurfaced and peeling just like the first room, holes in the bathroom floor from burns, dirty. Screen for the window was litterally ripped. No actual coffee pot with the coffee pot maker. There are some run down apts next to the motel where someone litterally has a rooster or chicken that start the morning off for you weather you want to wake up or not. The guy at the desk told me we got a great deal of $90 for this room. On the weekends it's $250!! That is seriously a joke. There was an office chair in the room as a chair. WTF! I don't know how they can still be in business. No one would ever go back here and certainly not refer anyone here. It's a dump!!! It felt dirty and scary. A $50 motel 6 room would have been 100xs better.

Pros:
Cons: The additional daily pet deposit was not disclosed when booking. Hotel continued to say that it was listed on their hotel website.
3.3 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing!!!!!
Cons: There were only two bath towels, no hand towels, and no wash cloths. There was a large gap opening in the entrance door to the room. The window curtains were so thin, they didn’t block out any outside light. My daughter saw blood on one of the walls near the bed. She found a black hair in the bed sheets. We smelled smoke that was coming from the heater after we had run it for about an hour. I told the desk clerk that we didn’t feel safe staying there and that we were leaving. All he said was that he couldn’t refund me. At that point, all that mattered to me was our safety and that we were leaving. This hotel should be taken off your booking list and you should refund me due to the fact that it was unsafe to stay there. Especially when we smelled smoke (unsafe)from the heater and even told the desk clerk and he didn’t even care!!

Pros: The two guys at the front desk were very friendly
Cons: No table or desk in room - no wash cloths, no hand towels; have stayed in far better Motel 6's; way overpriced for the quality of the accommodations. DEFINITELY won't be back.
7.1 Good
Pros: This property is close to everything and is even conveniently located across the street from the 7-Eleven. A 10 to 15 minute walk or a quick drive will get you to some great sights in Santa Cruz.
Cons: This property has a ton of local foot traffic. In the parking lot, many locals—with questionable habits, park and create much of the noise nuisance—throughout the day, and evening. Property management didn’t do much about our comments and complaints. This motel is not for the light sleeper, families, or anyone looking for a luxury stay in Santa Cruz. The property is in fair to poor condition (furniture too), the price per night is moderate. Lastly, bring extra towels because you get two maybe a little larger than a hand towel in size for your entire stay. Note: There are NO washcloths, ice machine, cups, coffee maker, iron, tissue and WiFi is weak.
5.0 Okay
Pros: Location
Cons: After seeing the rating on this motel is 2 star, it definately met the rating. Room was HORRIBLE. Was not sure bedding was fresh, did not appear it was. Had to use same towels every day, no room service. The list goes on. I WILL NEVER RECCOMMEND.
