We were stuck next to a loud ice machine that cycled on and off all night; the hotel was full so they couldn’t move us. Walls had unexplained stains running down them, and the bathroom had about five flies we had to swat.

"Excellent staff! Helpful & very nice. Had room with balcony which was fantastic to sit out & get fresh air ! Bed was very comfortable , 5 stars! Great location within short walking distance to beach. No breakfast or lobby coffee unfortunately. No cups or coffee pot in room , you will need to request one . Hotel could use some updating, but location makes up for that! Sandwich shop , restaurant, coffee shop, & small neighborhood market down the street . Nice walkable area.

"The house was great for our time in Aptos. It’s a great place to stay, especially with kids. The beach is very easy to access. We also appreciated that there was plenty of hot water for everyone when taking a shower. The removable shower head was great for washing the kiddos after the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked and easy to cook in. Very cozy and clean. The road is busy, but it wasn’t an issue for us. We would like to stay here again."
