Virginia, Monterey

Sweet 9 room inn. Quiet; friendly staff; updated bathroom; you even get a continental breakfast; close to everything including Kaiser Stadium.

Liked: Close to Kaiser Stadium and downtown. Staff super friendly and accommodating. Bathroom was all new.
Disliked: Not too loud thumping music at dance club next door, but stopped at 11:00 - so not too bad.

Stuart G, Sacramento, visiting The Catalyst Santa Cruz

Convenient location for walk to The Catalyst for a concert at night and to the beach the next morning. Very contemporary room interior; the bathroom was especially cool with the zero-step entry to shower.

Liked: Very friendly staff, particularly Elise in the Front Office, who shared help tips on where to eat and places to go.
Disliked: None.

Adorable, independent hotel. Street parking...

Liked: Such an adorable spot. Independently owned and operated and everything has a personal touch. Very accommodating to guest requests and they make it convenient for self check-in.
Disliked: The walls are paper thin. I thought someone was in my room when I was in the bathroom. The voices from an adjacent room sounded like they were right next to me.

Great location basic hotel

Liked: The location was awesome, close to lots of restaurants and shops. Short drive to beach and wharf.
Disliked: Basically, there are no amenities, no in room coffee, microwave, or fridge. Staff has no interaction with you. Fifteen dollars a night parking, make guests pay credit card fees.

Superb

Liked: If you are looking for a simple, quiet room in a quaint building, this is it. With a big bathroom. It is also in a quiet and original part of Santa Cruz, easy to walk places and get breakfast! Sal is great who takes some management and Tina as well. The lockbox check in is super easy too

Quiet, comfortable and convenient. Will...

Liked: We stayed one night while helping get the kid home from UC Santa Cruz. Blue Pacific Inn was very nice with a clean room and really comfortable bed, and a ceiling fan for air circulation. Slept well. Self check-in directions were easy and accurate. Parking was convenient, only a few feet from the front of the hotel. There were chocolate chip cookies waiting in the lobby for us, (late check in), it was a nice touch.

Awesome location with perfect facilities...

Liked: Location was fantastic. First night value was exceptional - second night price went up >$100 for a Saturday night :-(Elevator and parking were not expected but awesome. Facilities were excellent. Shower was perfect. Room was a bit stuffy the first night (always seem that you have to adjust temperature for comfort after one night) Calvin was AWESOME in giving recommendations for restaurants. He is such a personable and knowledgeable owner. THE BEST WE HAVE ENCOUTERED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD OF OUR TRAVELS! I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this quaint & pretty hotel with awesome location. Would I stay here again???? YES!!!!
Disliked: Ah, somehow we allowed a bug in the room and it bit my wife a few times before we found it.
