"."

Motel 6 Marina, CA - Monterey

8/10 Good

"The location was everything we just need it a place to sleep well exploring the cities near by was relatively close to Carmel by the sea, Monterrey aquarium, and lovers point beach for a fraction of a price that others hotels would of cost, the location it’s safe we saw a lot families and couples staying and that makes us feel comfortable, plenty of parking we enjoy our stay."

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"We checked in on Friday afternoon and they were experiencing a nationwide outage and the two desk clerks were very quick even with the outage. They were also very nice. Beautiful property my kids called it a castle. Rooms are spacious and has everything you could need even a smart tv. We will definitely stay here anytime we are in the area."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"By far my favorite hotel in Santa Cruz. The staff is so welcoming and nice. The pool was heated and they have a hot tub which was open until 10 pm giving my kids a plenty of time for a night swim after a long day of sightseeing. The first is clean. The breakfast and coffee is absolutely amazing. Each morning they had wonderful selections! It was about a 12 min walk from the boardwalk. Coffee and ice cream shops! The valet were so informative and personable."

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Property was very nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location wasn't as close to the beaches as I thought however it wasn't too far. I was hoping for walking distance, but we definitely had to drive. Bathroom was a bit small. Overall, my family and I would go back. It was comfortable."
