The room was nice but the pillows could be softer

The pillows on both beds were hard as bricks and they said they didn't have any others.

I stay at this property once a week for work, and I refuse to stay anywhere else. They have consistent clean beds and rooms. No complaints here.

The price was right and it had a heated pool. Beautiful
Melissa
We checked in at 4, and got to our room. It was still being cleaned. We had to wait outside until they were done. -they just started. Parking is TERRIBLE! There was not sufficient parking. Tiny stalls, and cars double parked everywhere.
Then they have 2 hotels. Check in at one and then cross the busy street to get to the other side.
Room was clean. But super basic. Keurig in the room with 2 sugar packets. Just two. The lamps also didn’t work. We had to plug in our charger on the alarm clock. Which was basically a never charging dock. We tried calling the office and no answer.
The guy had check in was friendly though.

The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Good little spot to staff for a weekend trip. Location is within reasonable walking distant to good and the boardwalk.

Everything is good.
Jessica

Thi
Clean, well located and safe. Very good value for the area and a last minute booking. I would stay there again. I had difficulty booking on their own website which had a cheaper rate so I had to use Expedia instead. The only confusing thing potentially is that there is one hotel on the east side or ocean and another hotel on the west side. Luckily we were assigned a room on the hotel side that was within walking distance to the registration desk. Parking and wifi are free, but there is no free breakfast.
Alex
Parking is super tight if you get one of the king annex rooms which are in the building across from the office.
Margaret D
We liked the location, the room was pleasant, and we like the old fashioned shower that was easy to work. There was at least one outlet that didn't work, and the property appeared old and in need of maintenance.
Emiliano
Everything was ok. The location is perfect
Israel
I was in Santa Cruz for a meeting and decide to stay at Continental Inn and in the middle of the night start a people fighting, I called the front desk to see if they can help taking care of the issue and the person in charge was unable to handle the situation he did not call the police. He refused to do it and I just couldn’t sleep all night long because of the noise of these people fighting until 5 o’clock in the morning the worst night I could ever have. I know there are situations that the hotels can avoid but I think they should have a procedure of how to handle situations like that. I used to work for a hotels for 15 years and we do have a procedure how to deal with this situations apparently continental inn don’t have any.
Cecelia
Very nice room, polite staff however was given little info about things like wifi password, Didnt have complimentary breakfast as far as i know like most hotels do and that was a let down. When I asked about coffee they just said theres a chevron next door.
Alex
Too many loud noises coming from the bulging, cannot sleep. Doesn’t make juice until 4-5-6 am
What’s the pint of trying to get some rest if location constantly is making noise. Horrible experience, glad I was there just for the night. Not going back

Very clean room and bathroom. Comfortable bed and sheets. The bathroom is very modern.
susan
Room was clean. Bed was pretty awful and pillows were torture. Parking was difficult for sure and it was awkward walking across a busy street to get to room.
Danika
I guess for the price it’s ok. It’s old, and rusty. The bathroom lights were flickering like in the horror movies. I slept with one eye open. Microwave worked but the light didn’t. The bedding was clean though, but walls and doors was old and rusty and light fixture were old too. Random people knocking in the middle of the night. Not enough parking and parking was tight. Hot tub in weird corner of the parking lot.
LEONARD
Everything was good, the parking was very convenient and my stay was pleasant.
Jason
Pet friendly. Plenty of dinning and shopping options.

Marcela
Lot light and good working heater. Missing small table to put staff , staff very professional and helpful.
Gabriel
The room was clean and cat friendly. The Chinese restaurant across the street was delicious. I’ll try the Thai spot across the street next time. The front desk agent was courteous and professional. I’d definitely stay again!
Jessie
The room was a bit old and in a sketchy neighborhood
Maddy
The staff were really nice and the location was perfect. I stayed in a single room and if was comfortable, but some wear and tear. The shower made a screeching noise when the hot water was on.
The traffic noise was a bit loud and the walls are a little thin, but I had my noise machine so it was fine haha.
Overall I’d stay there again :)

2 Continental Inn’s With Split personalities
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.

Girl at the counter was very nice and helped us With directions on finding a place to eat did not like being charged for parking.
Jennifer
Overall, filthy. Not good for a family.
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.
Gabrielle
not that clean and was not what was expected
María Mosqueda

It’s clean, good, and just a 5-minute walk from the boardwalk.

Stacy
Bad Stay for the price
Payed 359 for a one night stay, pricey for the experience and no breakfast the building is on both sides of a busy Main Street one side has the pool and the other side has the jacuzzi very inconvenient having to run across the street with lil ones the pool looks like no maintenance super small lots of leafs floating and on the bottom water super cold so we went back to the other side of the street jacuzzi was ok till we got in we where in a jacuzzi full of chlorine so strong I got super sick kids eyes where super red then the room smelt like rotten egg coming out of bathroom then a big black spider right on the headboard
