You couldn't pay me to stay there again.. I actually got poked in the foot by a used heroin needle that was stuck in their bedding. I couldn't believe it! As well, the supposed "non-smoking" room reeked of excessive stale smoke odor's. To top it off, just got diagnosed with a nice scabies rash courtesy of the last weekly patrons... More

I prefer block, single story motels where you can easily carry in luggage from your parking spot out front. I've stayed here numerous times. Front desk is friendly and rooms are quiet. Nothing fancy but clean enough and reasonable for an overnight stay to visit students at UCSC

Booked a room for my daughter and I 3 weeks prior to arrival Reservation No. 48077336 for a very popular soccer tournament. I even called the night before arrival to make sure they had the reservation because I knew the there were several events in Santa Cruz that weekend and therefore it would be difficult to get a room.

My partner and I stayed in this motel for 1 night on our recent California road trip. Unfortunately for us it was labour day weekend, and as we booked last minute the room price was ridiculous ($179). It was a holiday and it was a saturday night but I would not be happy paying anymore than $99 a night any... More

Went to Santa Cruz for a wedding, and did not want to spend a fortune. Most of the people in the wedding party stayed at the Best Western down the street, paying over $180 per night. We stayed at Hitching Post, paid $99 the first night, and $109 the second, and we're happy with the stay. It's a nice, basic... More

If you plan to be here more than a week, call the motel directly to find out about their weekly rates (which are not posted online). We stayed in a 2 bed, full kitchenette unit for 11 days for just a little over $600.00. You do the math. This older motel is a work in progress, so room quality varies.... More
