Inn At Pasatiempo

Ok, I read the reviews before I went so I knew ahead of time what I was getting into. Room was clean and very comfortable. If you are expecting the Ritz don't bother coming here. This is exactly what it states it is a motel off the hwy. Older buildings, so noise is present and you do hear your neighbors, but overall it was very good and the hwy became background sound. A/C is not present so yes you do need to open windows for cool breeze to air out room. Hence the reason I say Fall was a nice time to stay. Not to hot, not to cold. Breakfast was minimal, but all that was needed. Milk, cereal, coffee/tea, pastry's, boiled eggs. If you want the view of the garden/pool and golf course I was told I would have to pay $20.00 more, but since that wasn't something I needed I passed. Plus the pool was closed. Made a good enough impression that I will come back here.

We stayed here because it is 2 minutes away from the family.

Front desk double charged after I paid for room through expedia. No a/c in room. Put us in the the back of hotel facin woods and for My daughter and I. Issues with the television so asked for help at front desk he was too busy and said he would call back and never did.

I've stayed at Pasatiempo twice and both times the rooms were comfortable and reasonably priced. It's true that the rooms do not have A/C, which would probably be a deal breaker in summer, but when it's not too hot out, it's fine. The employees seem OK - they don't go out of their way to be nice, but they get the job done. The garden area is very nice; the rest of the grounds are about average. The continental breakfast was about average - bagels, cold pastries, instant oatmeal... you get the idea. If you prefer to be away from the beach and don't need a lot of frills, this is a good bet.

The rooms are small, but they are clean. The hotel is located right off highway 17 and is only a 5 minute drive to downtown Santa Cruz. Check-in and check-out was quick.

Dropping off my son at UC Santa Cruz and this was the perfect place to stay for the night.

The room was clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable. Would have liked a microwave. The continental breakfast was adequate. More fruits would have been nice. This was my second stay there and will continue staying there as long as my daughter is going to UCSC.
