Lock in a great price for Harbor Inn – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

Room was nice. Clean, well lit, affordable. In a safe area of town too.

Thomas, United States of America

It looked cute in the ad----a house like a B&B instead of the standard motel. It was a cute looking facade, but our room was less than a standard motel.

Donna, United States of America

Quaint & quiet can walk to our favorite breakfast place Harbor cafe we enjoy the property we have stayed there many times

Dori, United States of America

We loved the room an how it was up stairs down stairs and so very comfy. It was in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to the boardwalk :)

Marisa, United States of America

It is a quaint and quite place to stay location not bad not to far from wharf and town easy to find

Barbara, United States of America

Charming Chalet type two story Room. Very clean. Quiet safe neighborhood (my sister used to live in Santa Cruz and was relieved to see where it was located)

Monique, United States of America

A nice small motel close to the beach of Santa Cruz. close to supermarket and small places where you can have breakfast (no option for breakfast at the hotel). The room was comfortable and clean. Free parking.

Jaime, Israel

After driving 12 hours, this inn was a welcome relief. It's walking distance to the beach and a couple of restaurants, and the city center is only a short drive. Our room was cozy and well-appointed. The separate bathroom was right across the hall.

Raymond, United States of America

Perfect size room and cute for the price. Had our own mini fridge, tv and microwave. Definitely felt like a guest room in someones home, not a hotel room.

Joshua, United States of America

Great location, quirky little property, comfortable rooms, nice outdoor seating to enjoy a glass of wine and friends. Will be back!

This was a loft arrangement with plenty of low head knocking ceilings. No air conditioning upstairs, so it was uncomfortable. Nothing extra offered, like a light breakfast or snacks.
Open parking, easy check-in and tidiness.

“For $250 per night, we had a roof over our heads, but dreary.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe King Room with Private Bath
- • Stayed 2 nights
The toilet and shower were crammed into one little room, and the sink was in the bedroom. There were two straight back chairs & one tiny tv. There was no one in the office after 6 or before 9 to address concerns. The first night, it sounded like the people above us were either involved in a murder or a celebration---cries and screams and lots of furniture moving---between 2 and 3 am!
It looked cute in the ad----a house like a B&B instead of the standard motel. It was a cute looking facade, but our room was less than a standard motel.

“A nice comfortable place to stay.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Deluxe King Room with Private Bath
- • Stayed 2 nights
The shower was very old; water temp was hard to adjust...either freezing or boiling. The other issue was that the soap, some designer type, was not soft enough to make a lather. Since there were signs indicating a water shortage and urging us to conserve water, we felt badly about the length of time it took to get enough soap to wash our hands. The water was running but the soap wouldn't dissolve quickly...ergo a waste of water.
The location was great. Quiet and near the harbor as well as a good cafe a block away. Easy to drive to the heart of the business district and fun zone on the pier. Parking was easy and the room was comfortable.

We had a problem with the WiFi connection but the woman at the reception just checked us in and went away so we had nobody to ask to solve the problem. We stayed 2 nights but the reception open up only on 10:00, (we left before) and by the time we came back it was already closed.

The shared bathroom is very small, and the whole place smells like grandma's house (that could be a positive or negative depending on your preference). It didn't feel like a good value for the price, but we did stay on a summer weekend so everything is expensive.
