The Mission Inn was located in a great area of Santa Cruz. Bike trails near by to get to the beach and around town.
Jennifer greeted us warmly at the front desk and accommodated our needs and helped make my husbands birthday trip be memorable. Benton was also a great help.
The room was spacious and clean and the motel property was clean and well kept. The hot tub was delightful and well kept. We had an amazing trip to Santa Cruz and glad we chose the mission inn.

They were very stingy with the coffee for some reason. We had to beg for coffee for both of the mornings we were there. One coffee for you! No more….Otherwise, it was great! We will stay here again

Nice getaway
Comfortable, clean, quiet motel. Rooms were nice size with microwave, refrigerator and coffee pods. Continental type breakfast included. Plenty of parking. I recommend this location. Also, great ice cream shop a few blocks away on Fair St. and the Mission Bar across the street for a drink and good conversation.

Our keys stopped working after an hour or two and the toilet began making a high pitched whine intermittently.
I would add that the breakfast should include some sort of protein options. Eggs, bacon, sausage... something besides varying types of bread.
