This property surprised us (my husband and I). It looked like a small apartment or condo unit from the outside, and was not near other hotels. It is a newly remodeled and updated 3-story complex with about 25 rooms. We had a room on the 3rd floor, as I wanted the best view. Here are the essentials: Location: 3 blocks... More

My wife and I stayed here in early January 2012. Although the staff is only here for a few hours a day (3-5 pm, and in the morning), there was no problem with our early check-in. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the bed was luxurious. We were within walking distance of downtown and some great restaurants. I'd recommend... More

My husband and I stumbled across this hotel our first night in Santa Cruz. We needed a place to stay, and decided to give this place a try. Let me tell you, it was very enjoyable! The staff was very accommodating, warm, and welcoming. They genuinely care! The man on duty provided us with great directions to specific surf shops... More

Perfect hidden little gem in a great location. It was evident from the time we arrived how much ownership has put into their inn to give the best experience possible. The facility was clean and well kept with a modern decor. A couple blocks from downtown and a 15 minute walk to the boardwalk. We didn't know what to expect... More

This was a very upscale or updated place, great room, super great linens, a fireplace, large flat screen on the wall. Breakfast was awesome! People running the place are very helpful and friendly too. Not your average B&B but worth the stay, convenient short walk to downtown and not far from the wharf. More

There is a lot to like about this modern and green B&B downtown. The rooms are tasteful, the beds comfortable and the breakfasts are fantastic. It's the location that is just a bit off center for my taste. This neighborhood is south of downtown and is still a bit sketchy. There is also an apartment right next door with balconies... More

It was so refreshing to stay in a nice place with exceptional service. I forgot my toothbrush but the owners had an extra. Then when I asked for directions to the Boardwalk they gave several game tokens to my daughter! The bed was heavenly, the room immaculately clean and the breakfast was fantastic. Plus there was an array of high... More

The Pacific Blue Inn was a delightful respite given the area in which it is located. Don't go wandering this neighborhood after dark because the unsavory Santa Cruz dregs are lurking in the shadows. The Pacific Blue Inn has the most comfortable bed and pillows and the most amazing made to order breakfast. I would highly recommend staying here in... More
