“Motel Santa Cruz provides budget-conscious lodging a short walk from the boardwalk; I found the friendly staff and convenient parking to be its strongest assets. While some may find the rooms a bit worn, I noted the recent upgrades in some bathrooms. For travelers prioritizing location and service over lavish amenities, this could be a practical choice.”
