6/10 Good

Great location, average stay
Close and walkable to the pizzeria, bar and grocery shop so we chose it for proximity. It was reasonable value but with no thick blanket, only a thin sheet, we were cold sleeping.

Always a pleasant stay at The Hitching Post.

Preston, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was in town for one night and didn't spend much time in the room, but it was clean & spacious. I liked that it was close to where I needed to be, but far enough away to be quiet. The staff was very friendly and I would stay here again.

Comfortable beds and spacious room with nice tv. WiFi was spotty. One pillow case had lipstick and a boot print on it and one towel was not clean. Quiet space.

Lourdes, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We spent 6 nights here for a visit with family in Soquel. What a great location! We were totally impressed with the room - the size was incredible, bed comfortable, and a fully functional kitchen. We asked for kitchenware at the front desk and got a bin with pots/pans, cleaning supplies and service for two. Went to Dollar Tree for additional supplies and had a well-equipped kitchen for our stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others!

We stayed at the Hitching Post so that I could do a virtual academy and still make it to a wedding at the Chaminade. The Hitching Post Studios Inn is a good little location, complete with a kitchenette and space to do work. My wife and I enjoyed our stay and pleased with the inn. Thank you.
