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.

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.
