We liked that the property was clean and quiet. The room was nice and updated. We didn't like that not all the key staff spoke English. We also would have preferred that the breakfast room be open until 11:00am, instead of just 10:00am.

The only drawback is that there is no elevator. If you cannot handle stairs, you must specify that you want a ground floor room when making your reservation. The breakfast room is on the second floor. If you want breakfast and cannot do one flight of stairs, well....

The women at the front desk were extremely friendly even though I showed up very late in the evening and had to call them to check me in. Unlike most free hotel breakfasts this one actually tasted really good and had a good selection of options. I will definitely stay here again if I ever stay in Santa Cruz again..

I always have a nice stay at Mission Inn. Great people, clean rooms, comfortable beds. Pleasant courtyard and patio areas. Nice variety at the Continental Breakfast. I think it's a bit more than Continental, actually. Well worth it.
