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.

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!

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.

Location, close to wharf, Boardwalk, restaurants and the beach. Staff was very helpful great communication about where to park and unload for the room. The cookies in the lobby each night were great, and they have a coffee machine that makes multiple types of coffees and also hot chocolate that were very good. We will be back on our next trip through Santa Cruz.

Cute room with a fire place. Quiet court yard, nice office area with tea and mid-day snacks. In a great location for the shopping district to the beach.

The transient bothering us between the parking area to the hotel, but they were everywhere in the town.

This was our second stay at Pacific Blue Inn. We like it very much! Very comfortable bed, nice and comfortable bedding/pillows. Just enough space, seating, shower room.

Staying in room 101, we were right in the hub of activity. One evening there was a gathering of guests on the patio. That social noise could not be avoided and ended before midnight. The following morning, there was quite a lot of conversation by the staff. Seemingly louder than necessary conversation about laundry being collected etc. Might have been nice to have a little more private time at 8:00 AM 🫤

The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. There is excellent coffee in the lobby and fresh-baked cookies. The manager was very helpful and wrote a note explaining what we needed to know about the hotel.

We missed that parking, just down the street in a car dealership parking lot, was $15/night. You could probably park on a nearby street with no problem (no meters, neighborhood pretty safe). There wasn't a fridge or microwave in the room, but we didn't need them. No coffee in the room, but excellent coffee downstairs.

The staff was super helpful! They reached out to us before our trip to confirm. My friends and I booked separate rooms and all stayed at this location. The rooms were very cozy and clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We loved the proximity to downtown Santa Cruz and the beach is close as well. Parking was easy and convenient.

No complaints!
