My family was doing vacation on a limited budget and the Hitching Post fit the bill. Sheri, the owner, was an excellent hostess. The room was one of the cleanest hotel rooms ever. My son struggles with contamination OCD and nothing freaked him out about this room. Yes, it is an older hotel but it is well maintained. Drawbacks for some travelers would be breakfast is not included and there are limited restaurant options. However, our double full-size room had a microwave and fridge. We always bring food with us so this was not a problem. It located about to miles from the turnoff for the north rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. Since one has to drive a good distance between the north and south rims, this was an ideal place to spend one night.

I booked this hotel while I was on the road traveling up the coast to Santa Cruz. I checked into this hotel at 7pm, when I got to the room, I had to get some work done and send a few emails. It was dark and I just sat by a lamp and finished a few things on my computer. I then turned on more lights and started looking around the room and realized it was dirty and run down, the sheets were dirty and there was a weird hatch in the ceiling of the bathroom and I just didn't feel comfortable. I'm a young girl traveling alone and I always try and go with my gut and I didn't feel safe or comfortable so I checked out. I was in the room for an hour and 15 minutes total. I did not lay in the bed or use the shower or anything. I only went to the bathroom and washed my hands. When I went to check out the manager Danny refused to give me a refund so I left and went to another hotel. My mom called and asked him to do the right thing and please issue a refund he said that their policy is "Crystal Clear" that refunds are only given within 15 minutes of check-in if not satisfied. Even a partial refund would have been a nice gesture and very much appreciated, he would have had to go the room and wipe down the toilet which I would bet he didn't do before he booked it again. He refused to talk to my Mom any further, so she hung up. I found a lovely hotel a mile away, Aqua, for the same price, they actually gave me a discount when I told them what happened, unfortunately I had to pay for 2 hotel rooms. I also looked around and there are many other nice choices for the same or a little more money. Not nice Danny! Do unto others etc.....

I had to stay at this place due to emergency circumstances. DO NOT make the same mistake. It has a decent location, wonderful chamber maids with the best attitude and that is it. Where do I begin to warn you? Maybe the multiple cockroaches that I saw in the room? Maybe its depressing, tired atmosphere? Or maybe the absolutely horrible management? What about a useless AC unit that makes you either visit the North Pole or the Sahara within the hour? Maybe you’d prefer to talk about a management that’s as arrogant as discriminatory against minorities or handicapped people? Easily one of the worst hotels in Santa Cruz (or the world for the matter), the matter of what nightmares are made. Please do yourselves a favor and don’t ever go to this horrible place. I know I’d rather sleep on the street than at this “fine establishment”
