I would not recommend to anyone or come back myself as the mold smell was absolutely horrendous and unsafe.

1.0

It was in a decent location, safe and guests were quiet.

Mold! The entire place reeked of mold and I was told the owners were aware given how old the property was. This is unacceptable given how toxic mold is, and nobody should be presented with that as their option of stay. I had to keep windows open all weekend and was brought a room heater (also stated the place had heating and it was not accurate, I had to call and ask for directions on heating and was brought a tiny space heater) but given that combo, I was met with constant headaches the entire trip. I would genuinely not recommend this stay to anyone as it poses some health concerns

Pleasant experience

8.0

Our stay at the Harbor Inn was a pleasant experience. Our original room was very comfortable, king bed, great size room and on the first floor. Unfortunately, we had a toilet malfunction which caused us to move to another room. The room we were provided was much smaller, no A/C and queen size bed. Since the owner couldn't fix the toilet, he credited my card one night, for the inconvenience. We made the best of it, the room was good enough and they provided a large fan to cool off at night. The location of the inn was perfect for beach access, close to the boardwalk and wharf. We love coming to Santa Cruz. We enjoyed our stay at the Harbor Inn, friendly and helpful staff. The place is older style villa which we loved, all amenities was available by request. We would come back as long as we can stay in the king size bed room per our original request.

10.0

We spent 4 nights here! We chose this hotel for its charm and location. The hotel is older, that’s part of the charm. Our rooms were clean. We had a two story and although no air conditioner on the upper floor, the provided fan worked great! We felt safe and the location to the beach, restaurants and shopping made this an ideal stay. The front desk manager was so kind.We were there for the Ironman. We needed our room early so we could store my grand daughter’s bike. He had the room ready and we were allowed to check in early. He was very accommodating. He wrote down suggestions for us to eat out. We went to all of his suggestions and all the food was great! This hotel is charming. Low key. Peaceful. Comfortable beds. All that we wanted and we would stay here again!
