Good location for easy beach access.

Front desk staff was friendly. Parking area is cramped and no elevator on the property. Location is excellent though, one block away from the boardwalk.

The air condition was broken and another air condition had sounds that bothered my sleep. There was no sofa and coffee maker in the room.

Good location to the boardwalk
This motel is a great location from the boardwalk. It made it easy to go back and rest when we needed a break. The beds were comfy and it was pretty quiet at night. The location of this motel looked a little sketchy but overall we had a good night stay.

Close to the SC beach, boardwalk, and pier
This is a very well maintained and modernized property and priced lower than surrounding motels at most times.
The entire Santa Cruz area is quite expensive on weekends during the summer.
The only reason I have it only 4 stars is that the parking is horrendous.
Not only is it on a steep hill, most spots are also slanted and quite tight to park in.
Crime is also rampant in the area with vagrants eyeballing vehicles daily to steal from so don’t leave anything outside the room that you cannot live without. This applies to the entire area, not just Fireside…

Close to the boardwalk
Great location! Had everything we needed for a weekend away. Beds were comfy. Very clean.

First time staying here and it was really convenient! Walking out the boardwalk through the arcade it’s about a 2 minute walk to the room. Check in was a breeze. Park, check in, and front desk helps you find a spot. Would definitely stay here again.

Place was quiet, close to the boardwalk, staff was very nice, the only complaint would be the AC didn't work.
