Would stay there again.

It was a nice quiet place. All single level. Was perfect since I have a bad knee. Easy parking and right off the freeway exit. Minutes to the beach area. Very roomy shower. Toilet is very close to the wall and bathroom door. We enjoyed the courtyard. There is a nice bar and grill on the property as well.

Gave my room away.

My family and myself went on vacation and when we arrived at the hotel the pool was out of order. Then when I got my room it was not what I booked. I booked a king suite with a fireplace. What I got was two queen suite with no fireplace. When I went back to the front desk the girl told me that they gave my room away and this is all they had. I was so mad about this, I almost left. She said the manager gave my room away and the manager was not there. The room itself was dirty. The bathroom had left over hair on the floor and walls. Overall I was very disappointed!

A Charming Stay, But Missing the Special Touch

We stayed at The Inn at Pasatiempo in 2018 after their remodel and had an amazing experience, so we were excited to return for our 7-year anniversary. Unfortunately, this visit didn’t quite live up to expectations. The biggest disappointment was the pool closure—there was no notice when we booked or at check-in. We only found out after getting ready and walking to the pool on Saturday. A sign was posted at the front desk by checkout, but better communication upfront would have helped. We booked two queens since that was all that showed available, but I had planned to ask for a king. Check-in felt rushed and uninviting, so I didn’t feel comfortable asking. Later, I checked the website and saw king rooms were available, which was frustrating. The front desk staff was polite but not very informative. Our room was in a back corner near a maintenance area, and the parking lot was muddy—it didn’t have the same well-kept feel as the rest of the hotel. That said, the restaurant was fantastic. The staff was warm and attentive, the food and drinks were great, and happy hour pricing was a highlight. Overall, we still like The Inn at Pasatiempo, but this stay lacked the special touch we’d hoped for on our anniversary. Better communication and a more welcoming experience would have made a big difference.

It's a good and inexpensive option if you just need a night to crash. Beds are comfortable, rooms and bathrooms clean. Will stay there again as close enough to UCSC
