Amazing team and great value
The team running this hotel is wonderful. My daughter left her favorite, very treasured stuffed animal (a little pink bird) behind on our most recent stay. I called the front desk, and within 5 minutes they'd found it and sorted out how to get it back to us. Then they went above and beyond. When the bird arrived, it was packaged with a letter describing her adventures on her additional, unexpected vacation days at the hotel, along with photos showing the bird tucked into bed, answering the phone, and posed in various spots around the hotel. It was such a kind and caring gesture, and underlined how the folks at the Mission Inn think about and treat their guests. The hotel offers great value, has a terrific location, and a better breakfast than we got at a fairly pricey cafe in Paso Robles. We'll definitely be back!

The promotional material indicates the hotel is close to the sea. It is in fact at least 1 1/2 miles away. It would appear that the hotel is used to house homeless. Some are wearing apparel of street people and we’re not clean. Not pleasant to share the breakfast room with.

Another lovely stay. I live on the West Side and this is where my family stays whenever they are in town. The rooms are always clean and comfortable and the staff helpful and professional. Excellent location with tons of nearby places to eat and a mile or so from some of the best coastline in Santa Cruz.
