Nicely remodeled rooms… clean.
If you grew up in the hood you’ll feel right at home here. A bit noisy with something continuously going on outside. Great for a cheap overnight stay.

Good for a budget stay.
The hotel was a bit run down and rooms small but experience was okay. We barely stayed in tye room, really only used it for sleep as we were mainly there to explore santa cruz.
