James, visiting The Catalyst Santa Cruz
Liked: Staff was very friendly; hotel was clean (a little old); for the money and location, I would stay there again!
Alex, San Jose
Great place to stay, close to everything. You can connect rooms which is pretty cool. You get a free breakfast. I'd recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice, affordable place.
Liked: Clean and free breakfast in the morning.
Disliked: Nothing negative.
Donna, San Jose

Wouldn’t stay more than one...
Liked: The only plus was the large beds.
Disliked: The rooms were very run down and dirty. The sheets had stains, the pillow cases had stains, the couch had stains. So overall seemed dirty. Sheets on the bed didn’t seem like they were cleaned or mattress protector taken off the bed either. Toilet was hard to flush and overall just seemed like it needed better house keeping.

Wonderful family vacation!
Liked: We were able to check-in early which was wonderful. We were traveling with our five month old baby. This staff was very helpful. The rooms were very clean.
Disliked: Was it really anything we didn't like. Maybe in the future, they can add continental breakfast.

Disappointing

Never again.
Liked: I had originally booked a room downstairs with a patio because I was traveling with my mother who is handicapped. Upon check-in in they gave me a 3rd-floor room. The lady at the desk helped me switch rooms no problem.
Disliked: I don't write reviews on places, this would be my first one. Here's the part that was not so pleasant. Even though our room was switched, we still did not receive a room with a patio. It was a room with a large glass door leading to the parking lot. Couldn't even open the curtains to get some light in. Following this, I turned my bed down and noticed blood on the sheet. My mother was able to flag down a woman cleaning the room next to ours. She remade the bed no problem. After she left I had moved the pillows to arrange them and there was pubic hair on one of the pillows, again flagging them down to get clean pillows. By this time I was ready to leave. But due to the booking I would not have received any refund and my mother was tired. The other 2 issues I had with this room were that the bed is not comfortable and the toilet seat is so low to the ground that you feel like you're peeing on the floor. I would not stay at this hotel again or recommend it to anyone. I have stayed in sketchy Motel 6 rooms that was cleaner and more comfortable.
