Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing! We originally were given a room and upon attempting to turn on the television we realized it was not working. We went to the front desk and a wonderful staff member went up with us to investigate and it turns out it definitely was not working. We were given and different room immediately with a functioning television and the room was gorgeous. Breakfast was delicious and we had a very comfortable stay."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"You can tell by the way the staff interacts with you that they really enjoy their work, Every member we met, like Blossom at check-in to the restaurant staff, treated us delightfully. This was our first time in an Autograph hotel. The furnishings in the lobby were fun, interesting, and made us feel welcomed in Santa Cruz."

Mitchell's Cove Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean and in good condition. It was easy to walk in and quickly get settled. There are numerous comfortable gathering places throughout the house, also in the yard. The chairs, couches, stools, etc are a good variety to suit different preferences. The gas fireplace in the dining area Really Works. Nice!The kitchen is well designed and spacious, well equipped, even the little stuff you end up looking for. (Ants on the counter though, and a dishwasher door that’s very annoying).The bathrooms are small, ordinary, but quite clean and functional.The back yard is very nice, better than the photos. Hot tub in fine condition, and ready for us to get in!"
