National 9 Motel

The hotel is a good value! It is older but clean. It’s right by the hwy but with the door closed you don’t hear the hwy. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are clean.

Overall the room, bed, amenities, etc. were average but when I tried to shower in the morning there was no hot water and nobody working on site to help. Very upsetting. I believe it’s posted as a 16 minute walk to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk but when I mapped it, it was double that so we decided to drive and it was in fact very far away.

the people were so nice, it’s right at the entrance to Santa Cruz and the rooms are very nice for the cheap

We have stayed at this location many times and we will always come back to this hotel when we stay in Santa Cruz. The owners are amazing! They are always polite and always have a smile on their face. The customer service is top tier! I have asked for a late check out a few time with no hesitation to accommodate! It’s always an amazing stay at National 9!

This is consistently the best motel experience I’ve ever had. Third time staying here. The owners are wonderful and warm and the rooms are spotless and comfortable. A hidden gem. Easy to bike into downtown Santa Cruz from the location. I’ll never stay anywhere else.

Staff was very nice, room was very clean, parking felt secured.

Clean room and the location. It was close to every place I needed to go. And Marianne's Ice Cream was a short walk up the street!
