“Super 8's proximity to the Boardwalk is a genuine asset, placing guests steps away from Santa Cruz's famed attractions. While some rooms are dependably clean, the functionality of amenities can vary, and parking is undeniably tight. Personally, I found the potential for noise disruptive, which might affect those seeking a restful stay.”
