Summary: There are 2 Continental Inn’s in Santa Cruz. The one with the cheaper rooms is dark, and old. The other one has a pool and other amenities.
Apparently the customers on our side are never told about the facilities across the street. Nor is there any indication that these properties are connected.
Cleaning service was very good.

Summary: All of the pillows were like flat rocks and it was incredibly loud (poorly insulated) so we didn’t get any sleep. The air conditioning unit was filthy so we were all coughing and congested every night and morning as well. The walls and doors had obviously never been wiped down, there was hair and what looked liked boogers all over them. The ironing board looked like it came from a dump site, absolutely disgusting. The elevator was filthy as well, it looked like there was blood splatter on the inside of the door. You couldn’t pay me to come back here.

Summary: Our stay was last minute arrangement. Hotel was clean. Street was loud, didnt notice the complementary ear plugs until check out. Hot tub was a residential size and uncomfortably secluded. Pool was unmentionable.

Summary: The cleanliness was fine, the front office staff was great. We were upstairs facing the gas station, on a Sunday night. It was loud outside, at night people were coming and going. Just people closing their doors reverberates a lot. We woke up several times. It is cheaper than our preferred hotel so next time we will save up.

Summary: The room was clean and comfy. We stayed 2 nights. Easy to check in and out. The pool situation was a little weird as its across the street. It was nice and private. It could use a good scrubbing though. I'd stay there again.
