It was clean super amazing bed set up was wonderful. Walking distance to harbors

4.0 / 10.0

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.

5.0 / 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!

My first time ever going and stay in Santa Cruz and this location was perfect, staff was friendly and so helpful with accommodating my check in time. the share bathroom/ shower was not bad at all everyone was respectful sharing rooms in the house, will for sure being going back soon during winter :)

8.0 / 10.0

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...

8.0 / 10.0

Quiet and not crowded

4.0 / 10.0

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!

10.0 / 10.0

Nice place.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

8.0 / 10.0

Location is excellent. Unfortunately the TV didn’t work, but internet was fine

5.0 / 10.0

My only compliant is that the mattress is sooo hign that it is difficult to get into bed. But once in bed it was wonderful.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice and quiet!

2.0 / 10.0

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 !!!!

10.0 / 10.0

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!

8.0 / 10.0

This place is simple, clean, and reasonably priced for the location. Good bed, firm but not hard. I like the old-fashioned aesthetic. We checked in and out without face-to-face contact with staff, which was fine. We had all we needed. Downsides, minor: The shower dial was missing so it was a bit hard to adjust the temp (cold, very hot, small area of happy medium, no place to run in tiny shower stall!) Lights just outside windows are very bright. Blinds on both windows, curtain on one took care of most of that. Brought earplugs, didn't need them thanks to conscientious other guests (thanks folks!). We had a pleasant stay and will likely be back.

6.0 / 10.0

The room was cold and the small space heater didn’t work. The room smelled musty. The bed was very comfortable. It was well located near my daughter and the harbor.

8.0 / 10.0

Odors of mildew and mold outside going in and even seeping into our sleeping quarters. Great for location. Very clean but needs freshening up- carpet, paint, shower stall needs help before more serious repairs needed... panels coming undone from the walls.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

8.0 / 10.0

A little dated, but definitely clean, roomy, and comfortable. Accommodating staff as well. I would stay again.

4.0 / 10.0

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

10.0 / 10.0

perfect

5.0 / 10.0

This inn is so charming! Exactly as pictured. You can’t adjust the A/C. But there is a heater. If you get hot flashes, sleeping with the windows open this time of year suffices. Not sure if they have fans. Walking distance to the beach. Pillows and bed were surprisingly comfortable. I have back and neck issues and slept like a baby. Most other motels I’ve stayed at you have to let the water run for forever to heat. But not here! Also, amazing water pressure. Mini fridge with freezer. Microwave and mini coffee maker. Extra towels in the hallway armoire- super convenient. Close to the mall (and target/cvs/Walgreens).

5.0 / 10.0

This is a very well kept motel. It is apparent that the owners and staff take great care in thinking of their guests. My room was comfortable and very clean. The entire motel was clean and well cared for as were the small grounds. I will stay there again and recommend to friends. Very affordable.

10.0 / 10.0

I definitely would stay here again and recommend this quiet little place to my family and friends. It’s near everything! I will just comment on the lack of lighting on the “Harbour Inn” sign. I wish it was brighter so it’s easier to find. Other than that, I really liked the accommodations

4.0 / 10.0

This was a comfortable place to stay and was close to many attractions. It was a bit dated and could use a good deep clean. Overall it was a good value, and I would stay here again.

8.0 / 10.0

It was quiet, 10 min walk from the harbor and the beach. Sheets and towels smelled like fresh clean laundry. Responded promptly to my call. Easy check in and check out. Good value

6.0 / 10.0

This is not your traditional motel room. It was clean and adequate, with interesting old bits of furniture. but amenities were sparse. The dispenser for shampoo and shower gel barely delivered a drop. Internet connection rarely worked. A noisy business next door was not very pleasant. I would look further next time in town.

4.0 / 10.0

Very good location, free parking, comfy beds, good coffee for the coffee maker. Noise from the next unit and the road were a bit louder than expected. The blinds were missing slots and the lights from the outside were bright. If you are used to sleeping with lights on and can sleep through noises, this is a good place for you.
