I stayed here during a work trip because it was close to my job. After making the non refundable reservation, I told my customer where I was staying. They told me that it was a drug infested place and that to empty my truck before going there because the tweakers were going to steal everything not locked down. Of course I listened to them as I nervously wondered what I got myself into and if I had to sleep with one eye opened. I was pleasantly surprised to find the place clean and quiet. The parking lot had been resurfaced and had respectable vehicles parked in the lot. The office manager was pleasant and had all his teeth. The room was nice and updated and the bed was comfortable. To be honest, I only woke up once during the night to look out the window to find that my ladders were still on my truck and there were no tweakers or junkies in sight. This place was away different than what was described to me. It is clean, quiet, and safe. The management did a good job of cleaning this place up and getting rid of the negative elements. I left early the next morning. All my tools were still in my truck and unmolested. This is a decent place to stay at and I would stay here again if my travels bring me back here.

I liked that we got two beds even though I just needed one which I’m glad we did because we have a 1 year an half old an she tends to take up the bed so we wouldn’t fit on one. It was pretty basic and simple had a desk and chair shocking we didn’t need but came in handy for a little dinner type table so it works. Tv was wonderful. Bathroom blew me away very large like an yet small. Our bathroom/ kitchen was together but worked great because they have a sliding door to the bathroom and plus kitchen so I was able to keep it close an keep our child out of the bathroom an getting into things very useful. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who has kids that are under 5 definitely child proof. Also very convenient for an elder person they have handles near toilets and at shower etc to help them get off the toilet or hold their selfs up. Only got photo of shower part of bathroom couldn’t help it. I really love it had to share with my fam lol

Only thing I notice microwave was dirty i don’t know if it’s from age or stains on the bottom, etc. I only used it to warm up milk didn’t do any harm to my item so it worked

The staff was very kind and welcoming. The front desk attendant who helped us check in had a very friendly demeanor. He also gave us a small goody bag of snacks, which was appreciated. The room itself was a little bit quirky with a separate kitchenette. While we didn’t do any cooking during our stay, it was a nice amenity.

The bathroom door was warped due to water damage and once it was closed you would have to pry extremely hard in order to get it back open. The bathroom door for 114 should be replaced. The wifi also wasn’t the best, and we frequently just used cellular data since it was faster.

The units are fantastic. We've stayed twice so far. Once for almost a week and then shahin this week. Beds are comfy and the shower feels great! The staff is top notch. Treat your maid well. Leave her a tip! Strip your own bedding and pile them with your towels. Mak her day s little easier. We will 10/10 Make this our regular place.

I like everything just the way it is!

Comfortable rooms. Great DirecTV. Friendly staff. Parking is popular but free and manageable. Super cold frig, my carrots froze! I’m a repeat offender and often stay here when in Santa Cruz. The location is central for my needs and not in the heavily touristed areas.

The rates seem to be inching up (everywhere). But hey, inflation happens.

As a solo female traveler I felt safe and comfortable. I slept well. The person at check in was very friendly. The cleaning person (wish I caught her name!) was very friendly. The place is very spacious, the kitchen stove worked really well. Lots of storage area-plenty of room for my surfboards inside. The geraniums in front of the adorable balcony are a nice touch. Thanks for a good stay!

Cleanliness was not completely up to par. Sticky inside dresser drawers. Walking barefoot on the floor I got a lot of dirt on my feet. Paint in the bathroom is peeling. Bathroom door is rotting from moisture room 114.

The room had a lot of character and I enjoyed my stay. It had everything I needed, including a coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator. It was clean. The proprietor (Danny) is very welcoming and friendly, and I would go back and stay here again. Laundry machines worked so I ran some when I was there. Also, within general walking distance of some cool spots (walking distance = 20-30 minutes).

The pool is filled up and has become a party/picnic area for grilling. I would not have been swimming anyway so it was not a problem for me. Heck, you're close to the beach.

Well appointed room, layout was excellent. Comfortable chairs and bed. So quiet and private. Enough table, sink and desk space for all our needs.

Art on the walls was distracting and not helping the room design in any way. Large framed mirror was great.

We love everything about this place. I've come here about 6 different times, usually for 3 days. Once I stayed for 5 days. So comfy and quiet. The owner, Danny, is a really accommodating and friendly.

There's nothing I don't like.

What's not to like at the hitching Post? ( They are remodeling several of the rooms). But don't let that stay away! Staff is always pleasant and helpful in any thing you may need.

Again, they are remodeling several of their rooms. But the after is amazing.
