The thin walls at Mission Inn are awful. We could hear people next to us in the bathroom. But worse than that, the people/kids above us sounded like a herd of elepants at all hours preventing us from relaxing and sleeping. It’s tight on the main road into Santa Cruz so it can be noisy depending on the location of your room. If you’re not sensitive to noise, it’s a good location an the staff is responsive.

Everything about my stay was awesome. The room sir comfortable with lots of entertainment options. And the staff are really what make it great especially all the hard-working housekeeping that keep those rooms so nice and the front office staff who are very patient and welcoming. I hate leaving great reviews because I know it'll probably get them all booked up, but I really did have to shout this one out. Very good.

The room was clean but very noisy. Something in the walls like the pipes were making so much noise that I couldn’t sleep. Good location and parking was easy and free. Lots of restaurants and grocery store within walking distance.

Great staff, continental breakfast, nice renovated room, spacious - the only thing that we feel needs addressing are the very dusty window screen and the floor was dusty or unclean. We can tell from the sole of our slippers we brought in to wear there that we ended up throwing away.
