Overall Ratings & Reviews Hitching Post Studios Inn

I liked the place. Would like to extend the stay but price went up.

I've past by this place countless times over the years because it looked questionable. Well, it’s a different place now. The staff is kind, the rooms are quiet and clean, and it's convenient and affordable. It’s not “fancy”, but it’s certainly not “trashy”. I would definitely stay here again.

Room smelt like poop when we walked in and there were only three towels for four people. Wouldn’t go back again.

No frills, comfortable stay. Friendly easy check in. Floor was dusty but everything else was clean and worked.

There’s really nothing around the property, but downtown and the pier are a short drive. However, the hotel is remodeled, clean and safe. The owner and staff are all very nice people. I’ll go back next time.

Pleasant stay. Staff was very frie dly and accomodating. Room was comfortable and quiet. Only one small issue; the floors could have been cleaner.

This is an outdated property that is hard to keep dust-free and clean. They do as much as they could I suppose. The bed sheets are thin. There was a second room the size of the bed/bath with a kitchen and dining space. There's a full-size freezer and you can cook for an added $5 cleaning fee. You can also borrow utensils for cooking. That seems reasonable!

Very basic motel room. Suited our needs. Clean.

The room was small. One of the bedsheets has stain. Not too happy with this stay.

A nice surprise! Now if I want to cook meals on my trips to Santa Cruz, I know where to stay

They gave me and my wife a horrible room and when we complained we got put in a smaller room with no AC and a little old fan not friendly at all. We had no choice to stay there because we were tired from driving he even complained about my wife I forgot to put 2 people when I book the room he said you lucky I’m not charging you. Toilet seat where all nasty the need to be replaced the bolts had rust from urine

We only stayed one night, it was clean, comfortable with excellent parking and excellent facilities in the room.

Great

I like everything and easy check in and check out

Place was clean and quiet, front desk very helpful.

Honest opinion this place is on the low end of ok. The rooms have been updated, so the photos from 2018 on the travel sites are outdated. Inside the room, is a bed, a lounge chair, a wall a/c unit, outdated curtains, 2 nightstands, tv with limited channels, dresser, and a little office area,. The amenities needed for a quickstop. The bathroom, sink and shower have also been updated. , The mini fridge and microwave are in the bathroom area, but close to the closet-like section. Complaint, the shower leaks water, so place a couple of towels on the floor. Also, if you have more than one person staying in the room. You will have to request additional towels, provided - 1 face, 2 hand, and one body. Towel. The soap dispenser and hair shampoo/conditioner dispensers are ok. I suggest you bring your own. The bed... the bed was uncomfortable. It sinks in and lumpy. Outside. The hotel is off a busy street so occasionally you hear loud cars, (music, burn outs, etc). Some units have an outside/mini patio with 2 chairs, but the inside units do not (may or may not have a chair in front of the room window). They do have a gathering area with a BBQ grill and a couple of seating areas. Best part. Staff was excellent, nice, and friendly.. Overall. I give this inn a 4 out of 10. This place is ok for an overnight stay, but the price per night is overpriced.

It was fairly quiet, especially for being close to a major street. The room was clean and looked good. The desk clerk was very friendly and welcoming.

It served us well for a good night's rest. We are local but stayed here one night to attend a family function. The inn is one of the long-standing businesses in the area. We appreciated the inn's upkeep and maintenance of the room's cleanliness and comfort. The bed felt nice and firm. We tend to sleep cold but avoid using AC for health/environmental reasons. We should have asked for an extra blanket. There was a blanket and a thin decorative cover (not a duvet). We felt a bit cold at night. Our room had a full kitchen and a dining table adjacent to the bedroom. We appreciated the place to sit and eat our takeout. Our room lacked pots, pans, plates, and utensils. There are many restaurants within a few blocks where you can dine, so I imagine there isn't much need for them. If you plan to use the kitchen, you might want to check with the inn whether kitchen supplies will be in your room. The only issue we had was a scent in the room. There was a noticeable scent, like laundry or cleaning detergent type, not offensive, but a "fresh" artificial scent. We thought a plug-in air freshener might be somewhere in the room. But we couldn't locate it. We both got a headache from it, and had to leave the window open during our stay.

Check in was fast and curteous

Very friendly staff. Clean room very spacious. They gave a nice little welcome bag with water & snacks. Conveniently located.
