The office staff member was helpful with questions about local restaurant options. The room was clean and nicely lit. The beds were comfortable with nice bedding. The included breakfast was very nice to have. I appreciated the hard boiled egg and bagels, juice/fresh fruit, and coffee. We would stay again when visiting the area.

The thin walls at Mission Inn are awful. We could hear people next to us in the bathroom. But worse than that, the people/kids above us sounded like a herd of elepants at all hours preventing us from relaxing and sleeping. It’s tight on the main road into Santa Cruz so it can be noisy depending on the location of your room. If you’re not sensitive to noise, it’s a good location an the staff is responsive.

Everything about my stay was awesome. The room sir comfortable with lots of entertainment options. And the staff are really what make it great especially all the hard-working housekeeping that keep those rooms so nice and the front office staff who are very patient and welcoming. I hate leaving great reviews because I know it'll probably get them all booked up, but I really did have to shout this one out. Very good.
