Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"this is my favorite place to stay in. Santa Cruz are so nice. It’s so clean. It’s such a lovely convenient place to stay. I’ve been staying here for years and it’s just the best."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance from Boardwalk was very convenient. The room and bed were huge, it had all the amenities necessary. The bad thing (for me as a short person)😏 too many stairs. At night not enough parking spaces.🙄 Also the vending machines need to get fixed or have more options. Overall I would recommend 👌The cleaning ladies were very nice.😀"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel for families with young kids. Great location with playground nearby for morning/evening park time. Walking distance to downtown for retail shopping and local eateries. Eight minute drive to the boardwalk, close enough but still far enough from the crowds/congested traffic. Hotel staff and amenities were fantastic. Hot tub and pool was our highlight! Very comfortable temps for the entire family. Poolside service was great. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. Hotel staff was very accommodating to requests. Hotel provided free bottled water the entire duration of our stay and even offer s’mores kit for the kids to enjoy in the evening. Overall, one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever experience. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to all looking for a hotel with amazing hospitality and care."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"This kids and I were on our way back home from our road trip and were stopping in Santa Cruz for the night. The arrival and check in was fast and easy. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Hotel was in a great location and a short walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants. It was perfect for my kids and I short stay. The hotel also has a guest laundry room on site where you can do a couple loads of laundry if needed. I love getting back home and not have to do laundry so this was a big plus for me. I really enjoyed my stay here and will be staying here again soon."

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

8/10 Good

"The location was very conveniently located, however the property was a bit dirty feeling. The hallways smelled musty/ mildewed and were a bit dark. My room smelled clean, but the carpet was covered with what looked like dog hair. The soap and shampoo smelled great and were convenient in the kind of bottles that are refillable, which I appreciate. Linens and pillows were very good. Another area that was a bit disappointing was the pool. There was only one towel which my friend and I had to share. There was garbage (which says more about the other guests than the hotel tbh) Overall, I’d probably stay again, however it was not as nice as I had expected given the price."
