Would recommend staying here, it was very nice! ##### Natalie Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jed Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is a "no frills" place, but its perfect for a weekend in SC. We stayed in the two story loft room and it was perfect for multiple kids upstairs and two adults downstairs. For the price and not spending a lot of time in the room, its exactly what we needed. We would definitely stay here again and had a great time. Why spend $500+ per night for a luxury room you're not going to spend much time in anyway? It was clean, quiet, close to Twin Lakes State Beach and close enough to plenty of coffee shops and restaurants. We highly recommend it! ##### Jed Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Joscelyn Feb 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Location is excellent. Unfortunately the TV didn’t work, but internet was fine ##### Joscelyn Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Harbor Inn definitely captures Santa Cruz in decor. It is bare bones. You get a clean bedroom and towels and that's it. It is excellent for a stay of a day or two and the Santa Cruz beach front is easily walkable from the Inn and eating options are nearby, including grocery stores. ##### Alex Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Alicia Apr 15, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities A little dated, but definitely clean, roomy, and comfortable. Accommodating staff as well. I would stay again. ##### Alicia Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy Sep 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would stay here again, very charming! We spent 4 nights here! We chose this hotel for its charm and location. The hotel is older, that’s part of the charm. Our rooms were clean. We had a two story and although no air conditioner on the upper floor, the provided fan worked great! We felt safe and the location to the beach, restaurants and shopping made this an ideal stay. The front desk manager was so kind.We were there for the Ironman. We needed our room early so we could store my grand daughter’s bike. He had the room ready and we were allowed to check in early. He was very accommodating. He wrote down suggestions for us to eat out. We went to all of his suggestions and all the food was great! This hotel is charming. Low key. Peaceful. Comfortable beds. All that we wanted and we would stay here again! ##### Kathy Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dale Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Pleasant experience Our stay at the Harbor Inn was a pleasant experience. Our original room was very comfortable, king bed, great size room and on the first floor. Unfortunately, we had a toilet malfunction which caused us to move to another room. The room we were provided was much smaller, no A/C and queen size bed. Since the owner couldn't fix the toilet, he credited my card one night, for the inconvenience. We made the best of it, the room was good enough and they provided a large fan to cool off at night. The location of the inn was perfect for beach access, close to the boardwalk and wharf. We love coming to Santa Cruz. We enjoyed our stay at the Harbor Inn, friendly and helpful staff. The place is older style villa which we loved, all amenities was available by request. We would come back as long as we can stay in the king size bed room per our original request. ##### Dale Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie Oct 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect Central Santa Cruz Motel. This is a very well kept motel. It is apparent that the owners and staff take great care in thinking of their guests. My room was comfortable and very clean. The entire motel was clean and well cared for as were the small grounds. I will stay there again and recommend to friends. Very affordable. ![Side room with microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, iron and desk.

The room smelled musty. The bed was very comfortable. It was well located near my daughter and the harbor. ##### Suzanne Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Tammy May 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities The staff was friendly and accommodating. The two story room was extremely small abd cramped. The beds were hard and uncomfortable and we kept hitting our head on the wall trying to get in and out of bed !!! For the price it was horrible !!!! ##### Tammy Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven May 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Odors of mildew and mold outside going in and even seeping into our sleeping quarters. Great for location. Very clean but needs freshening up- carpet, paint, shower stall needs help before more serious repairs needed... panels coming undone from the walls. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel May 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This place is simple, clean, and reasonably priced for the location. Good bed, firm but not hard. I like the old-fashioned aesthetic. We checked in and out without face-to-face contact with staff, which was fine. We had all we needed. Downsides, minor: The shower dial was missing so it was a bit hard to adjust the temp (cold, very hot, small area of happy medium, no place to run in tiny shower stall!) Lights just outside windows are very bright. Blinds on both windows, curtain on one took care of most of that. Brought earplugs, didn't need them thanks to conscientious other guests (thanks folks!). We had a pleasant stay and will likely be back. ##### Rachel Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francesca Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Will be coming back again! This inn is so charming! Exactly as pictured. You can’t adjust the A/C. But there is a heater. If you get hot flashes, sleeping with the windows open this time of year suffices. Not sure if they have fans. Walking distance to the beach. Pillows and bed were surprisingly comfortable. I have back and neck issues and slept like a baby. Most other motels I’ve stayed at you have to let the water run for forever to heat. But not here! Also, amazing water pressure. Mini fridge with freezer. Microwave and mini coffee maker. Extra towels in the hallway armoire- super convenient. Close to the mall (and target/cvs/Walgreens). ##### Francesca Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Susanne Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great for the price. ##### Susanne Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eve Sep 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice, big room. ##### Eve Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan May 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Clean and convenient acess to beach. ##### Juan Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug May 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice place. ##### Doug Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ivelisse Aug 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My first time ever going and stay in Santa Cruz and this location was perfect, staff was friendly and so helpful with accommodating my check in time. the share bathroom/ shower was not bad at all everyone was respectful sharing rooms in the house, will for sure being going back soon during winter :) ##### ivelisse Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicolaus Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quiet and not crowded ##### Nicolaus Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cheryl Jul 20, 2025 Old but did the job for this trip. ##### Cheryl Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Jan 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great little hotel.

The place is reasonably priced but the carpets need to be cleaned and it's very dated in a funky thrift sort of way. The check in person was very nice and friendly. The bed was comfortable. ##### LESLEY Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Sheraton-Park-Hotel-At-The-Anaheim-Resort.h3775.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Anaheim](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Hilton-Anaheim.h9.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort/Convention Cntr](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-At-Anaheim-ResortConvention-Cntr.h9476.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton San Diego Bayfront](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hilton-San-Diego-Bayfront.h1871645.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-The-Westin-Bonaventure-Hotel-And-Suites.h11376.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Marriott-Marquis-San-Diego-Marina.h24394.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Sheraton-Gateway-Los-Angeles-Hotel.h12287.Hotel-Information) > > [Anaheim Suites Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Anaheim-Suites-Hotel.h34780325.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h42520139.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel West Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-1-Hotel-West-Hollywood.h35872776.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Inn Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Dream-Inn-Santa-Cruz.h23409.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Francisco-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Fishermans-Wharf.h24625.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points By Sheraton Los Angeles Int'l Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Los-Angeles-International-Airport.h28110.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-The-Welk.h59916.Hotel-Information) > > [Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Disneys-Grand-Californian-Hotel-And-Spa.h692655.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-The-Westin-Anaheim-Resort.h47019139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Stovalls-Inn.h13592.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-InterContinental-Los-Angeles-Downtown.h11567151.Hotel-Information) > > [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Anaheim-Hotel-Water-Playground.h19662.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Anaheim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Anaheim-Resort.h13771.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A.
