Great warm welcoming, very professional, super helpful pointing out points of interest. Also, had a mid-afternoon delicious snack out for us (brownies yum)! Nice touch but most importantly, our room was very clean. We will most definitely come back and stay here again. Thank you so much Pacific Blue Inn for a wonderful stay!

Very conveniently located to the downtown area of Santa Cruz. The room was a good size, very clean and quiet. There were cookies available near the 24-hour coffee that was also available. Staff was nice and helpful. They had accidentally over-charged me for parking but immediately corrected the error.

Close the Catalyst, which was the reason for our stay in Santa Cruz. Very clean, well-taken care of property, but the ice machine did not work. Other than that, the stay was great.
