Located in Santa Cruz, within 100 metres of Sunny Cove Beach and 4.3 km of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Sunny Cove Motel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool and free WiFi as well as free private parking for guests who drive. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. University Of California Santa Cruz is 7.7 km away and Pasatiempo Golf Club is 9.1 km from the motel. Sunny Cove is my favorite hotel in S.C. Its location and beach access 😎 are perfect. Across the street, you can find the best tamales, and Starbucks is just around the corner. It feels safe, and Jane is available to help at any moment.

Located 1 minutes' walk from The Lace Museum, this Sunnyvale, California motel offers free Wi-Fi in all guest rooms. Apple Inc. Headquarters is 4 km away.

A 24-hour reception welcomes guests to Stanford Wittle Motel. Free parking is offered. My go-to place in the Bay Area. It's a motel tucked away in a side street off of El Camino Real so noise levels are pretty low. There's a coffee machine, fridge, comfortable beds, a couch, it's very well kept, other guests have always been pretty quiet in my experience. Walking distance from a Target, Whole Foods, and a bunch of restaurants and movie theatre in the Sunnyvale Old Town. You park in front of your own room.

Located off the famous Lombard Street, this motel offers rooms with free WiFi. It is less than 2 miles from Fishermans Wharf. Free on-site car parking is available.

Rooms at Motel Marina are fitted with wooden furniture and framed artwork, and equipped with flat-screen TVs. Rooms with self-catering kitchen facilities are available. We were initially welcomed at the reception desk by a very friendly fellow, he explained some hot spots around the motel, guided us into our sheltered parking spot. The room was fab, I loved it, very romantic and had a lot of character. I stayed there for 2 nights, but would have been happy with 7. Location was great, it was within walking distance of a view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
