“Capri Motel offers budget-conscious travelers a location close to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk; however, some rooms have cleanliness issues. Be aware that some rooms lack privacy due to the absence of a bathroom door, and street noise may be a problem for light sleepers. Ultimately, I think that the low price might not compensate for the inconveniences.”
