We have enjoyed staying at The Pacific Blue Inn 4 times now. The property has maintained its fresh appearance, the rooms and public areas are clean and well maintained. The staff is exemplary! Thank you Calvin for inviting us to check in early as we arrived in town a bit before check in hours.

Not a thing I can complain about!

Fantastic location - super easy walk to transition for the Santa Cruz half Ironman, boardwalk, beach, etc. Compared to other Santa Cruz hotels, this place is amazing. Comfortable beds, clean rooms, nice updated, plus there are delicious afternoon snacks!

It was really noisy our second night but that was probably more the fault of other guests, the apartments next door, and the live music down the street.

The location is excellent -- it's walking distance to downtown and a trail that leads to the Boardwalk. The room was clean and spacious and the king size bed and pillows were very comfortable. Self-parking is also available for an additional charge and very close to the hotel.

Some of the other reviews mention this, but noise really carries through the courtyard and into the rooms. We could hear every word of a Zoom call that was taken in the courtyard at 7am, which was not ideal. It would be great for the hotel to provide ear plugs or kindly suggests that guests to take calls inside the lobby/cafe areas, especially so early in the morning.

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!!!!

Ah, somehow we allowed a bug in the room and it bit my wife a few times before we found it.

The location is excellent! Only a few short blocks from the major shopping and restaurant district of Santa Cruz, and really close to other attractions like the Boardwalk. I stay in a LOT of hotels and amenities are everything to me. It's the little things that create comfort and value. There was a "help yourself" expresso machine that made Americanos, Lattes, Cappuccinos, etc, free delicious chocolate chip cookies, and a community fridge with every kind of creamer, and two firepits, all accessible any time of day or night in the courtyard! We also took a "doggy bag" from dinner and stored it in the fridge until we left. The room had a fireplace, ceiling fan, modern radiator, air conditioner, beautiful shower, fluffy towels, nice soaps and every streaming choice you could want on the TV, full length mirror, (which I find very important), and wonderful bedding. It was spotlessly clean as well.

Nothing bad to say here.

The room and bathroom were very spacious and tastefully appointed; the pillow-top bed and sheets were super-comfy. Communication with staff was very prompt and pleasant. It is a small 9-room Inn, intimate and easy to navigate.

The online info says they will lend or rent bicycles, but they claim to no longer be doing this.; a paucity of outlets in the room made for inconvenient charging of devices; the location is ideal in certain respects because it puts you within a block or two of the main shopping and entertainment area of Pacific Ave. as well as the wharf and West Cliffs, BUT, the block or two immediately surrounding the Inn is kind of seedy and lacks any pleasant distinction.

The room was very clean and the bed was one of the better ones in my travels. There were free cookies in the common area, which I thought was a great touch. The price is right, so even if you are traveling during a congested period of time, you can still count on finding a decent room at a decent price.

The room lacked a refrigerator. It's my fault for not noticing that it was absent on the room listing, but you would think such a thing would be standard. The nearby restaurants are great, but you better make sure you have no leftovers. Also, while I did find the air conditioning to be comfortable, it was quite loud. The walls are thin, so I could hear my neighbors having a gentle conversation all night. I can't even complain because it was a quiet talk. The walls are just that thin.

10min walk to Santa Cruz Pier and beaches. Check out the sea lions barking and jostling for a space on the piers pickings. 5 mins to downtown and 3 mins to the Baglery. Super comfortable bed and nice touches in the room like a LED fireplace/ heater.

Looking for a dip in a pool on a hot day. Guess I coulda just gone to the beach.

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.

Sooo cute!! Clean, lovely. Great coffee! I would gladly stay again.

A fellow guest said there used to be breakfast. That would be nice! Also please be up front about adding extra $ for parking — that was a surprise on my bill. Otherwise great value! Just wished that was more transparent.
