Good enough for one or two nights.
The hotel is basic. We got to the check in counter but the door was closed. So we pressed a button and the young man signaled us to go around the building where we had to slide our ID and credit card thru a window slit as if it was a high security bank. Pretty silly considering there's a door and it was raining. He was nice and adjusted our room as the one we first had was too cold and drafty. The heaters are pretty old and loud, so bring your ear plugs. The pillows are big enough for a Chihuahua dog to sleep comfortably, so please up the size my friends! Oh, and perhaps put some warm light lamps on the night stand so it doesn't feel like a warehouse with the white lights overhead. But decent value for price and it was quiet given the low season.

Decent little stay.
Room was clean with basic but working facilities. Staff were friendly and good location near downtown. Some very rowdy guests tarnished our stay banging on walls and smoking weed at 4am. Not the perfect hotel but still worth a stay.

This is my second time staying at this Inn. I love its location and the size of the rooms. It’s walkable distances from down town and 5 minutes from the boardwalk.

Originally reserved a single king bed for two people. They “upgraded” us to a two queen bed on the first floor where you can hear EVERYTHING on the top floor. Bathroom tub was missing a drain cover and lid. It was a very last minute sporadic trip so I paid $170…I’m thinking the owner booked the same king bed multiple times for the increased holiday rates.

Meets basic needs
The room met my family’s needs for the evening as we were traveling through town on a road trip. Room was clean, beds were comfortable, although the base of the bed has a metal skirt all the way around that makes an annoying noise when you accidentally bump into it. Overall a good place to sleep.

Second time staying here. It has all the basics you would need. Clean comfortable beds and bathrooms. You can walk to downtown Santa Cruz or take a bus to the Boardwalk and it’s a few short minutes by car to UC Santa Cruz. Prices are more than reasonable. I plan on staying here whenever I visit Santa Cruz.

Slightly old hotel, but rooms are nicely upgraded
The fan in the bathroom of room #273 was horribly loud and annoying. On a minor note, the hot water in that bathroom was controlled by the wrong faucet (should be left and it was right).
