“I checked in at about 9:30pm on a weeknight and the man at the front desk was so helpful and clear.
The room didn't smell funny, except for a cleaning product smell. Rooms were definitely old with things looking a bit tired, but the pillow and bed were plenty comfortable. Highway 9 was not too loud, either. It's nice that there is a little window in the bathroom that faces the green space behind the hotel.
Only gripe is that the walls seem very thin. The person in the other room was talking loudly and I could almost make out the words that they were saying, at times.
A suggestion is that they could add an outside key drop box. When I left in the morning, I rang the bell and had to wait a few minutes for somebody to answer.”

“An excellent place! The rooms, location, and price - everything is exactly right. It’s a 3-minute walk to the beach. The rooms have everything you need; our family room featured two separate rooms and even a full-sized kitchen. Parking is free. There is also a grill and a swimming pool. Highly recommended!”

“Adorable, quaint cottage stay with breakfast delivered to the room. We rented a 2 room cottage that allowed us to bring our dog. While the furnishings could use a bit of a refresh and it takes the hot water time to heat up, it was well accommodated with everything we needed and comfortable beds. The location is beautiful and peaceful and walkable to Capitola shops and restaurants. The Shadowbrook Inn taxi can pick up/drop off for dinner. We can't wait to visit again!”

“Absolutely loved our giant room with a king sized bed! The full length private balcony was a very relaxing place to kick back and enjoy the mountain air. The pool and main hall was still under renovation while we were there, but we had a great time just relaxing and enjoying the area. The staff was very nice and we really enjoyed our stay.”
“I stay at Hampton all the time when I travel. This one is great (rooms, food, etc).
The only issue is the road noise from the busy Mission/hwy 1. Even with ear plugs the traffic woke me up very early.
Tip: Ask for a room away from the highway.”

“Quaint and clean hotel rooms, perfect for our short stay to Santa Cruz. In walking distance to a bunch of breweries, coffee shops, and the beach. Front desk staff was very friendly and incredibly helpful.”
“This was my first experience at such a resort and it was fantastic! Geographically, its a beautiful place. Rochelle(i think that was her name) who got me registered at the check in office, was wonderful and kind. Made me feel very welcome. She told me a little bit about the long history of Lupin while she got me all signed up. Once inside and parked, I nervously shed my clothes in the parking lot and within 10 minutes felt at ease and comfortable. The other visitors and residents were friendly and welcoming. The pool and hot tub were clean and refreshing. Amazing upper deck for tanning. My favorite part was hiking on the trails on the mountain!
Will definitely be back!”

“This is a beautiful place! My first time here exceeded expectations. I have stayed at similar lodges before in the area, just like little cabins but these grounds are very very well maintained. The owners lives on the property and takes really good care of the space. We brought firewood, but no worries because there is firewood here. The kitchen was perfect and had a regular sized petite refrigerator. I needed a little get -a-way and this was wonderful! Very quiet and peaceful. I stayed in the Maverick cabin and there was lots of space and many beds if you have friends and family. I will come back 100% and tell my other teachers friends. The owners is very kind!”

The only bummer was it's next to a restaurant that has outdoor seating and it gets very loud with the parties they have!!!!! Makes it kinda irritating when you're trying to sleep. Other than the restaurant being so close it was great!”

“Located conveniently off Highway 1. Rooms are incredibly spacious and comfortable. Warm and responsive staff ensure that the hospitality experience is top notch. The area seemed extremely safe but in any case the underground parking of the hotel doubly ensures the safety of your vehicle. All places in Santa Cruz and Capitola are within 15 minutes and not to mention the shopping mall right next to the hotel in case you've forgotten to carry essentials for the trip from home.”

“Best bang for your buck. Walking distance to the boardwalk, good food near it, the rooms are clean. Decent hotel, will book here again if going back to Santa Cruz. Only issues I had is there’s no sound dampening, the cleaner they use on their bedding made me itchy, the fridge froze drinks put into it, and they could’ve provided more shampoo/conditioner. Otherwise, good experience.”

“A pleasant, clean, and reasonably priced place to stay in Santa Cruz. Not a hotel full of amenities that you end up not using, but if you are looking for a spacious, clean and comfortable room, at a reasonable price, the Hitching Post should be high on your list. My room had a very comfortable king bed, large room, and a second room with a full kitchen. Shower was excellent, and a full walk in closet. All very clean and comfortable.”

“Only giving it 4 stars because it's in a bit of a dodgy area. Otherwise it's very clean, the rooms were perfectly fine, although we did hear the traffic at night - but we had ear plugs so it didn't worry us. The chap who checked us in told us it was actually the smallest Hampton Inn in the USA. Some of the lower rooms do open up pretty much right into the breakfast area, so I imagine they could cop a bit of noise.”
“A great choice for families. My husband and I traveled to Santa Cruz with our 10 month old for the first time in June for Father's Day weekend. The fridge and microwave was so useful for us. Lots of storage space in the drawers and closet as well. About a 5 minute drive or 15 min walk to to the wharf and boardwalk. So close to all that's happening but just far enough fo it to be quiet and enjoy a good night's rest. Free breakfast is also very convenient. Only issue I have is that the blankets are too thin for my preference and the bathroom counter space is too small. The price was worth it too us, no extra frills, clean and updated. Would definitely recommend this place”
“Next to a bunch of wide, high speed roads with heavy vehicular traffic. So the noise level is high and feels pretty unwelcome to walk from. However, this is definitely factored into the price as everything else about the motel is much better than the extremely low price normally gets.”

Coffee, bath essentials, airy rooms all provided. I had a small fridge and iron, blow dryer. Other small thoughtful items included. Definitely will return.Rooms: Clean, lots of extra touchesNearby activities: Central to all Monterey Bay sights and attractions.Safety: Felt very safe for myself and my car.Walkability: Easy walk to harbor”
“Really reasonably priced motel for whatnot has to offer. I enjoyed my suite with fireplace and jacuzzi tub for only 195 in the summer! When other places were charging 3-400 for just a regular room!”
“The reason this Inn gets 5 stars is because of a wonderful man by the name of John. From the very first minute of getting there he made sure to be of upmost service, and it was such a joy getting to know him over the few days we stayed. We are going to miss him.”
“Attended a wedding here recently and it's a gorgeous place for an outdoor wedding! Staff was very responsive and went above and beyond when the contracted caterer no showed....yup no showed without warning! Sequoia staff found other restaurants to cater the food and they themselves set up and decorated all the tables. Awesome staff, highly recommend!”
