Hotels near Mystery Spot

"We loved everything about this place. The staff was so friendly and the views were amazing!"

"The location of the hotel is great, the beds were comfortable and the two staff members that we interacted with were nice, but the property is not well maintained. There was mold and rust all along the perimeter of the bathtub, the shower head was not secured to the wall, it was leaking water, and the WIFI was so terrible that my friend couldn't get any work done at the end of the night, so she had to use her phone's hotspot. A clean, mold free bathroom with no leaking pipes and a strong WIFI connection should be basic amenities for a motel."

"Nice lobby and bar area to congregate with family"

"Went to the local diner for food. Did not use the pool."

"Clean, nice hotel, and super close 1 minute walk to the beach."

"Walkable to downtown: restaurants and shopping. A good basic place to stay and I would again."

"Location was great. Property was fine. This is one of the older motels in town, so it is a bit dated. However, the room was clean and it had every convenience we needed. The price was great. I would stay here again."

"Did the trick. Perfect for a quick overnight. No frills, nothing fancy."

"Was floating around the Monterey Bay area and landed in Santa Cruz after a day of traveling. Booked here on impulse and it was fine value for the price. Staff was friendly and the location is solid - just a couple blocks off of the beach with street parking in the vicinity. Very safe feeling neighborhood. Some portions of the street are restricted to permit parking - so check carefully. They do offer onsite parking, but I opted to pay the meter during operating hours and saved ten bucks. Facility was clean and the breakfast was way above par here! Appreciated leaving on a full stomach and ready for another day of hiking. Some of the other guests were on the loud side of things - and this must be a perennial issue as we observed an 8.5 x 11 memo in the entry warning guests of nuisance noise charges potentially up to $150. A bit annoying since this night was a rest night on our trip. There's also a nuisance technology issue - iPhone can not connect to the TVs if you want to stream some form of entertainment, unless you travel with some sort of HDMI dongle, count on sitting with some basic cable option for entertainment. Rooms are sort of sparsely decorated but at least they have ample space, and it doesn't feel claustrophobic. All in all, a fairly average experience here. If I could do it over, I'd probably just spend the extra forty or fifty bucks to book at the La Bahia or Marea Sol hotels on the main drag. "
