"Great experience "

"Had a great time in Santa Cruz. As far as motels go, this one was above-average in terms of location and cleanliness. Check-in and out was smooth and easy. Nothing to complain about."

"Amazing price for the comfort and quality of stay. One of the best Motel 6’s. And the front desk woman was very kind. This place obviously is a no frills sort of situation, but it’s definitely the best version of that. The value is so good. "

"Excellent all around, highly recommend staying here. Will definitely be coming back."

"Great location and views"

"The Rio Sands is a cozy and clean place to land! The staff is extremely helpful, and the employees seem to take pride in their work. "

"I enjoyed the location because its outside of the busier Santa Cruz area but close to cute Aptos downtown and Captiola is just a couple exits North. There's fast and easy access to the Highway 1. Grocery stores, shops, coffee, are within walking distance. The property is very well maintained. It has a quiet, woodsy vibe but has a very lively dance floor on Friday and Saturday nights with very good live music. It was very fun. I would definitely stay there again. "

"Comfortable experience and great customer service "

"Super nice property and super quiet, very close drives to everything around is about 10-15 minutes away. We stayed with my service dog and felt very welcomed dogs are very welcomed at the property. Super wonderful staff since we had our dog we had noticed that the screen door in our room was damaged and they quickly changed our room no issue and apologized. Super amazing stay 10/10 would recommend if you’re going to Santa Cruz!"
