8/10 Very good

A very charming and quaint propeetyasort of a classic New England Inn. Clean and well-maintained, but old—which was part of the charm.

8/10 Very good

Definitely a 2-star property, but clean & comfortable. We were missing a cup for morning coffee, but they replenished for the next morning when we mentioned it. And even showed us where the supplies were...

I liked everything.
sebastian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As always, it was wonderful. The only drawbacks Are that there is only a portable heater in the room and if you don’t know, it’s there it can get a bit chilly. Also, there is no Housekeeping service, but that’s not really a problem. Extra towels, etc. are available if you need them. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to say, and quite cozy and comfy.

Pleasant experience

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.

Would stay here again, very charming!

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!

8/10 Very good

Quiet and not crowded
Nicolaus, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a "no frills" place, but its perfect for a weekend in SC. We stayed in the two story loft room and it was perfect for multiple kids upstairs and two adults downstairs. For the price and not spending a lot of time in the room, its exactly what we needed. We would definitely stay here again and had a great time. Why spend $500+ per night for a luxury room you're not going to spend much time in anyway? It was clean, quiet, close to Twin Lakes State Beach and close enough to plenty of coffee shops and restaurants. We highly recommend it!

The Harbor Inn definitely captures Santa Cruz in decor. It is bare bones. You get a clean bedroom and towels and that's it. It is excellent for a stay of a day or two and the Santa Cruz beach front is easily walkable from the Inn and eating options are nearby, including grocery stores.

2/10 Poor

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The two story room was extremely small abd cramped. The beds were hard and uncomfortable and we kept hitting our head on the wall trying to get in and out of bed !!! For the price it was horrible !!!!

The check in process was easy, the bed was pretty comfortable and soft, and the room was a nice size. Would recommend staying here, it was very nice!
