Top Santa Cruz Main Beach Hotel Reviews
Seaway Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Great location and rooms were very nice. Staff was excellent, we will be back!"
Dream Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Love the old California style. We had a very enjoyable stay, The hotel is positioned nicely near the beach and boardwalk, the property is well cared for and managed. The only down side was the extraordinarily high price (twice that of a more fancy hotel) for accomodations during the summer season."
Casablanca On The Beach
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, older but clean & a great view of the beach. The staff was excellent! So helpful & great."
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.😀"
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Great location and property"
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"Very clean. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. My husband is an amputee and I forgot to request a downstairs room when I booked and they were kind enough to accommodate us at check in. Definitely will stay there again."
Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz
8/10 Good
"The staff is very friendly. However, the Air inside the room is not well circulated when the door is closed. The room is tidy but not super clean in some areas. Air conditioning is working but a little bit noise and the fan is not very clean. Can hear noise from neighboring rooms and cars outside. Overall, with a price, I think it is still worth it."
Beachview Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Great location and price."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"I loved this hotel, it was close to the boardwalk and the wharf, prime location. The staff were great and very friendly, and the actual look of the hotel was beautiful, so many stunning details to this hotel. The only downside was that we only stayed one night. I will definitely be back to enjoy the hotel for longer next time."
