United KingdomIt was expensive for what it was, but it seems inline with other properties in the area.
Comfortable room with all the amenities we would expect. Very welcoming staff and plenty of parking spaces.

United States of AmericaTheir wifi was very slow and we had to use our service instead of the wifi. Also their parking lot is a little small so when the lot started to fill up, parking was a little tedious.
The bed was huge and very comfortable! The receptionist was very kind and helpful. My friend and I stayed in this motel while seeing a concert in the Catalyst. My friend and I were perfectly comfortable walking around after dark. This hotel was in a perfect location, it isn’t too far from downtown (about a 10 minute walk) or the boardwalk (a 10 minute drive). Most importantly, my friend and I felt safe staying here. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality place to stay.

United States of AmericaThe only complaint I’d say about the motel was unfortunately how thin the walls were, at night it seemed like we heard it when almost every car, motorcycle go by.
For the price and the location of only about a 5 min drive to the boardwalk it’s a very great motel. It had a friendly staff and the room itself was very clean. I would definitely come to the Islander again for my next trip to Santa Cruz.

United States of AmericaThey could leave a little more toilet paper than just one roll in the bathroom and conditioner for the hair would be nice as well.
Very comfortable pillows. Nice lady at front desk. $1 drinks in vending machines is the best deal in Santa Cruz!
