Affordable, clean, and cute!
I stayed here for one night for a solo business trip. I enjoyed the ease of check-in, even though I arrived around 11pm. Parking was easy. I was greeted by the quaint atmosphere of the room as soon as I walked in. I loved the interior design of the room, which made me feel like i was in a cabin lodge. The linens and counters were clean, floors felt like they were clean enough. Honestly, a shame that I only spent one night here! If I'm ever in the area, I would book again.

The Hitching Post makes a good home away from home, especially for extended stays in Santa Cruz.
