As their site says, this is a real Santa Cruz experience. Between the Foster's Freeze around the courner, the bagel place out the back and a Zachary's just down a coupld of blocks, we didn't need a car to find great food. The room was beautiful and everything worked fabulously, including both fire pits ourside the room. BTW the lobby has a great table for gaming.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The secluded, lovely courtyard, welcoming coffee and delicious brownies in the common area when we arrive, the upbeat, interesting, extremely helpful owner/office person made our stay 1000x better than expected. We would return should we pass through Santa Cruz again.

Hidden gem
Booked this hotel at the last minute for Wharf to Wharf and it was a hidden gem. From the check in communication with Alondra to the delicious cookies to the clean and quiet room, this place was a delight. The fire pits had charm and we appreciated a place to fill our water bottles. They also had private parking-a bonus in downtown Santa Cruz. The bed was comfy and we slept peacefully before our race. The Boardwalk is right around the corner and you can easily walk to downtown for many different restaurant options.

AJ

Disliked: Staff & service
Terrible experience. After telling the man at the desk like 4 times that I am traveling in by uber and that I would not have a car, this man (I believe the owner or manager) STILL charged me for a car on my receipt. What's nuts about this is that if you arrive after a certain time, they just leave a bill for you because the front desk "closes." SO after hours of travelling and desperate for a shower, I had to run down and try to catch him before he left, and he was annoyed and pedantic about it, acting like he definitely didn't try to slip this extra bill past me like I didnt tell him vocally and over text MULTIPLE times THAT DAY that I would NOT be parking on their property. They have to manually add this charge above and beyond your hotels.com, etc. booking, so it wasn't an accident. So, once they have your credit card for security, they cannot be trusted. Do not trust them and make sure you double and triple check your bill, even if you book on a third-party site, because they will happily try to sneak other things in. Crazy.

Very Fair value, especially for pet owners. Walkable to beach or downtown. Parking a bit of a walk but you can load/unload in front. Overall it was fine, and wife, and dog, are picky.

Nice relatively spacious room. Cookies in lobby were a nice touch. Stayed on the top floor and liked the walk-in shower. Reasonably quiet, given that it was on a main thoroughfare and we stayed on the Fourth of July! Only complaint is that we like a firm mattress and this one had a ridiculously pillowy memory foam top. Too soft! Had to actually flip the mattress over so it didn’t hurt our backs, but if you like a soft mattress this may work for you.

Had a great one-night stay at Pacific Blue Inn. Bed was comfortable. It is walking distance to shops and restaurants. I felt safe. We checked in late. We were provided with details of check -in and parking from Calvin. He also gave us his cell number if we had questions. All went very well and it was a great stay. Thanks.

Modest hotel in good location
The best feature of this hotel is the location - only 4 minutes' walk from Kuumbwa Jazz Center (that is why I booked it) and 10 minutes walk from the Wharf and the Boardwalk. Also good: friendly receptionist, relaxing (jazz) music in the lobby; help-yourself coffee and tea machine in the lobby. Things that could be improved: (1) The hotel room itself was very basic and rather depressing. Grey paint of 2 walls (I suppose it's consistent with Santa Cruz fog), almost no pictures or mirrors on the wall of the bedroom. (2) the AC machine was way too noisy. We had to sleep with the door open in order to keep the temperature cool .

Pleasantly surprised
Checked in after the front desk hours but pleasantly surprised with phone service. The room was very clean and cozy. We didn't expect much booking a hotel last minute, but this hotel deserves every 5 star review it received so far.

Great hotel great spot great baked goods
Very easy and convenient parking, and the hotel is in a great location. Calvin was extremely helpful and is also a great baker. I hope he deletes all the security footage of me eating basically all the brownies left out for the guests, but honestly, if he shares it online, then I deserve it.

Probably the best spot in downtown, but eh
This seemed to be the best/nicest place to stay in downtown SC in order to be able to walk to the concert venue. It probably was, but it was just ok. Staff was incredibly direct and professional, but the room was just fine. A bit small, functional, but not comfy in the way we were hoping. “Good enough to sleep”
