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!

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.

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.

Overall, I enjoyed my stay for the one night. It was convenient to the downtown area and was comfy. My only issue was the people who were staying above me I could hear them come in at 1:00 in the morning and hear them stomping around, showering, moving furniture, all sorts of activity until 4:00 a.m. It just wasn't very soundproof if you on the bottom floor and are a light sleeper.

Took full advantage of the off season rate. Charming inn. Great location within walking distance to downtown restaurants/entertainment as well as beach and boardwalk. We just parked in the safe/adjacent parking lot and walked everywhere. Our room was spacious and clean with fireplace, king bed, desk, outdoor seating/patio, and modern bathroom. Inn included an espresso/cappucino/latte machine, outdoor fireplace area. Staff was efficiently communicative and friendly. They even offered us an early check-in and check-out at no extra charge. Not sure we can afford the summer rates so we'll be sure to return again in the off season!
