    Breakfast is included but does not open until 8AM so I have no idea whether it's any good. I did not see any trash cans on the property; guests leave bags of trash outside their doors. The mattress was pretty old.

    It was next to a nice diner. The staff was extremely courteous.

    The handle in the shower was extremely loose . The TV screen picture was black when we came in and the tech had to spend about 1/2 hr adjusting it so that we could see the picture. The shower curtain bar was loose and held in with poorly placed screws.

    Hotel look very shabby, very sketchy people. Woke up in middle of night person in next room screaming off an on for 15-30 minutes.

    The gentleman checking us in was very kind. The room was spacious.

    When I knelt down to try and turn on the heater there was sticky stuff on the floor, which got on my hands and bare feet, I looked around and the floor was really filthy.The bathroom counter was also dirty, looked like fingernail clippings or something.

    4RobertPosted on: 4-27-2022

    Beds and pillows where terrible, The place was noisy people where stomping bank and forth above and talking loudly outside our door until all hours. the pet area which was non existing had no place to put the dog waist except in your room. Not safe

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-8-2022

    Clean, spacious, and friendly helpful staff.

    Too bad there wasn't a breakfast served or a better grab n go breakfast. Cable TV could have more channels available.

    3Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-3-2022

    Good location

    Broken air conditioner. Didn't change us to another available room with good air conditioner until 2nd night. Didn't give extra blanket under cold weather and broken heater. Didn't answer phone calls. air conditioner very loud

    No smoke detector, bath plug did not work. Broken electrical cover plate on wall. Moved a small table, the wall behind had spilled product and floor area not cleaned.

    1Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 4-13-2021

    Close to mystery spot

    Room was dirty, no kick plate or seal on bottom of door so light and water came through. We reserved a King room and were given 2 queens and they could not/would not fix the issue and give us the room we reserved.Neighborhood was not good.

    7Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-9-2021

    Room was clean. Staff was friendly. Good place to stay fit the price.

    Room was advertised to include breakfast which it did not. There is no mention of the additional amount charged per night for pets until you arrive at the hotel.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 1-22-2021

    The Quality Inn is extremely clean and the owners are really nice. It is centrally located giving easy access to all Santa Cruz has to offer.

    The gentleman who checked us in was so very kind. We were only there for one night so just needed a clean room to shower and sleep. This was just what we needed.

    This was a disgusting hotel I've asked for refund that I still have not received my refund asked for

    The room had bugs everywhere and the bed wS infested

    5Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 2-19-2020

    It was clean.

    The hotel was too far back from the front desk and pool. Not enough parking spaces. No elevator on the other end of the building.

    Friendly staff. Close to our event. Decent neighborhood.

    Room clock severely damaged. Odd complaint with today's phones, but still... ... ...
