Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Mission Inn

Mission Inn

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and there seemed to be enough linens. The shower was not good as the water pressure to the shower head was poor because the lever to pull up for the water to go to the shower head was faulty and could not be pulled up enough to provide enough water for a enough water to come up. The drain was stopped up so water was filling up the tub. Also, you could not open the door all the way to get into the toilet so you had to shut the bathroom door completely before you could sit on the toilet."
