"This property has been my favorite for years. It's about a 5 min walk to all the little stores in downtown which is super convenient!"
"I have settled on The Continental Inn as my hotel of choice as I feel they offer the best value in Santa Cruz with regard to price vs. quality."
"The rooms are clean the staff is helpful and the price is always good, higher on the weekends during summer but never overpriced like most other hotels in the area."

“The location certainly stands out, placing you within walking distance of the Boardwalk, though be prepared for a lively street scene. The rooms are spacious, and keeping them clean seems a priority. However, future guests should be aware that some rooms are in a separate building across the street from the main amenities.”
