Motel The Islander Motel
522 Ocean Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, United States of America – Great location - show map
I found everything at this motel to be exceptional. This relatively small hotel costs approximately 50% more than a Motel 6, but it is well worth the additional cost. The motel is managed and cleaned by people from India who could not be nicer. Appliances work perfectly. Cleaning and maintenance is impeccable. The rooms are luxurious with nothing cheap about them at all. The choices of colors and patterns (i.e. interior decorating) is very artistic/high class. The rooms have translucent/Security curtains in addition to regular opaque curtains, which not all hotels have.
United States of AmericaWe like everything and we’re happy that we stayed there. Room is clean completely put together they did a good job!
United States of AmericaConvenient. Good price. Accomodates my special needs.
