10/10 Excellent
"Love the old California style. We had a very enjoyable stay, The hotel is positioned nicely near the beach and boardwalk, the property is well cared for and managed. The only down side was the extraordinarily high price (twice that of a more fancy hotel) for accomodations during the summer season."

10/10 Excellent
"Walking distance from Boardwalk was very convenient. The room and bed were huge, it had all the amenities necessary. The bad thing (for me as a short person)😏 too many stairs. At night not enough parking spaces.🙄 Also the vending machines need to get fixed or have more options. Overall I would recommend 👌The cleaning ladies were very nice.😀"

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

8/10 Good
"The staff is very friendly. However, the Air inside the room is not well circulated when the door is closed. The room is tidy but not super clean in some areas. Air conditioning is working but a little bit noise and the fan is not very clean. Can hear noise from neighboring rooms and cars outside. Overall, with a price, I think it is still worth it."

"Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived 45 minutes early and still wasn’t at 4. Would have been nice to have been out in a room with a balcony. Water pressure in shower wasn’t great and the pool was small and I’m kinda a weird boxy secluded space."
