National 9 Motel - Motel in Santa Cruz - 130 Plymouth St, USA

I rarely leave 5 stars across the board, but this place deserves it. I’m currently staying here for the 4th time after spending 2 nights here last weekend, and 1 night here for Mother’s Day. For a budget motel it is INCREDIBLY clean, as soon as you enter the rooms you can tell housekeeping is on it. I used to work at a big name hotel and compared to the rooms we had this place is absolutely top notch as far as cleanliness is concerned. The owners are very kind and even remembered us from previous visits, which is hands down awesome customer service. My only critique is that the parking lot is pretty small and gets filled up at night, however there’s nothing the owners can do about that and they’re incredibly accommodating with 2 extra spots near the overhang. It’s a safe place to stay with your family and the owners seem to be diligent at monitoring the security cameras. We’ve never utilized the pool, but have frequently seen families splashing around in there when we visit. I love this place, it’s quiet and tucked back off Ocean St close to the freeway. It will continue to be our go to spot to stay when we come to visit Santa Cruz, it’s rare to find a gem like this spot.

Great rooms. Clean. Perfect stay. No issues. Everything we needed for a day

I had a great room at this motel. The staff, Kim, was very kind & helpful. The location is decent but unfortunately there was some nut case guy screaming outside of the motel (not on the property) for several hours. I was surprised he didn't lose his voice but he was going strong all day. The good news is that I couldn't hear him at all from my room. Still, I'm sure it's problematic for the motel but they deserve a good review for making the best of the situation. I did go for a walk and went out of my way to avoid this guy coming & going which wasn't too difficult although several pedestrians weren't as lucky. This kind of behavior is fairly prevalent these days throughout Santa Cruz--seems to be getting worse & little is being done to address it. That being said, this is a good place to spend a night or two & you can't beat the price.

Very clean and cozy place .The front desk guy was very nice and friendly, definitely recommend this place .

Positive: Nice little room for a two night stay. Everything was clean and the mini fridge was nice to have. Easily walkable to a few simple food places. Negative: It wasn't an issue for my small Honda but the parking lot does seem tight if you have a big truck.
