Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"Office staff was very nice and helpful. Despite needing some updates (paint/furniture), the room was very clean and spacious. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the room we had booked actually had an additional room within the room making it extra spacious and comfortable. Downtown, pier, beach and, boardwalk within walking distance making it easy to walk back and forth as needed to take care of my infant’s needs and taking breaks. "
