2.0 / 10.0

the room floor was not swept - pet hair everywhere. The overall feel of the room was not good. Bad paint, worn trim, just dingy all the way around. Will most definitely NOT stay here again. The location means nothing is the room is BAD....

3.0 / 10.0

There was a lod noise emitting from outside the whole night.

5.0 / 10.0

Bat Front Inn staff is always courteous, professional and efficient in accommodating client requests within hotel standards. Housekeeping isost gravious. The rooms are exceptionally clean and this Inn is clearly the underrated stay in Santa Cruz proper.

5.0 / 10.0

Bay View is a great secret spot to enjoy a quick stay or in my case, an extended stay. It is so centrally located that everything Santa Cruz is within walking distance. The staff are sweethearts both in the office and in common areas. *Clean room, pet friendly.

5.0 / 10.0

Hotel is cute. Close to the beach. Walkable to many places. Easy to uber from. Parking is rough- not enough spots. I would park and walk. Close to boardwalk.

8.0 / 10.0

Large clean room, limited parking which was difficult

4.0 / 10.0

Not enough parking at this hotel. We had to leave, then come back hoping for a parking space. Also online it said pets were allowed, but didn't say there was an extra $25 at checkin, so surprise! Very old place with thin windows. Can hear everything. Our window had a view of a solid retaining wall/fence. Not nice.

10.0 / 10.0

Fantastic comfortable bed and very close broadwalk, we be back again

8.0 / 10.0

Really clean and quiet

3.0 / 10.0

I like the location. The room is clean. I dislike that there isn't enough parking space, Services are limited and thin walls.

6.0 / 10.0

Didn’t like how the keys never worked the noise at night and the place in general

4.0 / 10.0

The front desk is only open from 11-12am and 4-6pm. There’s no one in person to help you if you need it. There’s VERY limited parking and if it’s busy you’ll have to pay for parking on the street. I had someone else’s food left in my mini fridge in my room and hair all in the shower.

2.0 / 10.0

The desk clerk could not answer a single question about restaurants, beach access, etc., and was unfriendly. The only info provided was that if I didn't remain in the handicap parking space I would lose it and may have to park on the street somewhere that could be blocks away. When I inquired about other things ie whale watching, there was an "I don't know" to every question. However, she did say she grew up in that city but has never been outside of it. The room was basic, clean enough, but needed some repair work in the bathroom. I will never stay there again.

8.0 / 10.0

Checking in made easy; The staff was friendly ; room cleanliness was 4-out 5 parking can be challenging

10.0 / 10.0

Hotel staff was super kind very friendly was a convenient walk to the boardwalk!! Room smelled super clean!

2.0 / 10.0

The shower wall had mold and on one side of the room it smelled like dead rat

6.0 / 10.0

Hotel was inexpensive and close to the beach which was awesome. Room was clean and reasonably big. They have reduced employee hours so we hardly saw anyone working the entire time we were there. Microwave was broken and the shower had a hard time draining but it got the job done for our couple days there

6.0 / 10.0

Good value, right on beach 2 nlocks. No frills just bed and great location. Hotel is aging needs a bit of some upgrades.

5.0 / 10.0

Pool was closed for high PH. Coffee machine wasn’t working properly. Great location, Great staff, a lady helped me out on her off time. Walking distance to everything.

5.0 / 10.0

We requested family suite and were impressed with the layout. Room enough that we were not on top of each other. Front desk had crayons and coloring pages to entertain the grandchildren. It was a great place to wind down after being at the boardwalk. And we all walked to wharf for dinner.

10.0 / 10.0

Great service and convenient location.

10.0 / 10.0

Close to everything. Good price.

6.0 / 10.0

Was on the road and passing thru with my dog. Only here one night. The place was relatively clean and it was just okay. Located close to the boardwalk area so that was convenient. A little bit noisy.

10.0 / 10.0

It was comfortable stay in

4.0 / 10.0

Loved it there but they definitely could find a way for the room keys not to lose connection so easily, I had to get mine reactivated and it was just in my wallet.

6.0 / 10.0

The lobby didn’t out to 3:00. I have to wait to 3:00 clock to check in . Because they were under staff. The room a hair dryer didn’t work. The housekeeper only clean my room one day. I take my own garbage outside.

8.0 / 10.0

The parking absolutely sucks. The beds are not comfortable. We did enjoy the convenience and location of the hotel. 3min walk to the wharf and beach. Overall I give this place a 3.5 star rating only because for the price you pay the rooms should be cleaner

8.0 / 10.0

Parking is a huge hassle because there aren’t enough spaces. Luckily most things are walkable if you are able to park in the lot, otherwise everything is paid or metered on the street.

8.0 / 10.0

Was a good stay. Loved that it was by the boardwalk. Parking was challenging at times but thankfully we were able to get a spot in the parking lot

4.0 / 10.0

The rooms appeared poorly kept, unsafe neighborhood, and noisy

10.0 / 10.0

I have stayed here several times, but I noticed they have made some upgrades, such as adding more lighting to their parking lot but it’s not too bright to where you can’t sleep at night. I really like the area, and the staff is friendly.

10.0 / 10.0

Nice and close to the beach

2.0 / 10.0

Checked late, no parking available. Park the car across the parking park and got a ticket. Will not return.

4.0 / 10.0

Nice hotel! Just needs more parking :)

8.0 / 10.0

I was happy with the property, parking was fine. Internet was good. Staff was helpful. After hours check-in was simple the lady was very nice. My only problem was that the TV quit working staff tried to reconnect it but it wouldn't work for them either. But we were tired from a long day at the beach so no big deal. Will definitely come back again.

5.0 / 10.0

Check in is at 3pm...everything was pretty quick in the lobby. They have a pool, and you can sign out certain things to play in the pool that was fun for the kids. Our coffee pot, it wasn't working and service. The maid service man, they were awesome. She was awesome. She immediately tried to fix the situation, cleaned it up. Couldn't fix it. So she got another coffee pot. I mean, she really was very sweet, limited english.But you could understand that she was trying her best and her best was great. The motel is very close 2, the boardwalk, which made it even better. You didn't have to drive your car. You could just walk literally less than 5 minutes to the arcade area for kids. Had a good time and the motel made it easy. Just as quick to walk to a sit down, breakfast had a great time. Thank you so much

3.0 / 10.0

Parking is always full, barhroom door and front foor hard to open

6.0 / 10.0

Very close to everything but poor quality rooms. Rooms are very small and close to one another along with the door not shutting properly. Nice and easy going staff but wouldn’t return again.

1.0 / 10.0

Everything's broken , including the front door TV BROKEN, the flush plunger on the toilet broken. Towel holder broken. Hole in bathroom door. Front door wound not close No live front desk person
