I wanted to love the Habor Inn, really I did. My husband and I stayed for two weeks after our daughter and son in law had thier new baby. The staff was very pleasant and went above and beyond to help us. After being in our first room for 3 nights my back was complaining and the walls were closing... More

3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

This place is quite charming and that was one of the reasons why we chose to stay here. Given that we were visiting during the peak summer season, prices in the area were astronomical. Compared to others, Harbor Inn was relatively reasonable. The room is quite basic, but ours did have a nice remodeled bathroom and a small kitchenette. It's... More

Nice bathroom and cute kitchen area with small fridge, microwave and sink. Very cozy and comfortable to spend a week. Only block's walk up the road is GREAT breakfast/lunch restaurant -- Harbor Cafe. Had Father's Day brunch and returned... More

My wife and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing, off the beaten track, place to stay near the beach. We are from Sacramento and had a rare weekend to ourselves. The Harbor Inn offered an authentic, Santa Cruz experience without the busy "beach scene" at the best time of year - Fall. Our non-rushed, weekend featured a drive up... More

perfect little spot close to beach away from the noise of downtown and the boardwalk. Clean quiet and spacious room with microwave and good size fridge. We stayed in room 305. This place is unique all the rooms are different.

We stayed for one night in June. The hotel accommodated our late check-in which was appreciated because they are a small operation. We paid $129 for our room. We were lucky not to have a room near Seventh Ave. It is necessary to sleep with your windows open, and the only problem noise came from guests departing early the next... More

For those of us looking for an alternative to cookie-cutter hotels like Best Western, the Harbor Inn provides great accommodations at a good price. We paid $85 for the loft style room which had 2 queens upstairs, sofa & bathroom downstairs along with a microwave and small refrigerator. You won't run into the noisy college crowd having a beer-bash in... More

We were happy to find this place when making last-minute plans to visit Santa Cruz on a busy weekend. The resident manager, Juanita, was very pleasant both on making the reservation and during our stay. When booking, she described our room (the only one available, two-story with two queens on the upper floor but bathroom on the ground floor) to... More
