Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay and plan to stay again the next time we visit the Santa Cruz area."

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Great affordable room! It was so nice to have "home base" right next to downtown, and walking distance to the boardwalk. Pros: GREAT LOCATION, comfy bed, free coffee, microwave and mini fridge, good water pressure in the shower, makeup mirror, not too noisy, good room service, simple check in and check out Cons: AC was pretty loud, but it worked very well. If you are tall it's hard to get under the shower head to wash your hair/face. Would recommend, and i plan to return!"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"I liked the amenities and available free purified water and Coffee . Due to cool mornings and evenings there were fire pits around the pool and bar area ! Ground level rooms offer fire pits as well ! Rooms were clean and bedding was fresh ! Fresh linens is a big plus for me ! The only complaint I have is the first room they assigned , had no working phone for service ? The next room they offered a floor below and we moved our belongings there and the doors safety lock was broken? We stayed put, but were not comfortable."
