Top Wilder Ranch State Park Hotel Reviews

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right on the beach. Ample parking. Modern property with reasonably good size rooms. Several restaurants within easy walking distance."

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room,breakfast,balcony"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"We had a beautiful large room, with sunroom. We felt like we were in a bit of a fishbowl, but we chose that room, since we needed the three beds. There was a fantastic view of the beach and the volleyball courts from our room, so no one noticed us. The walkable wharf to the right provided a nice variety of restaurants, although very pricey. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. There was not much ventilation in the room, I would have appreciated more, as there was a bit of a stale smell. I would suggest you take your own pillow, as the ones they provide are small and lumpy. Those are just small nit picky things, that can be overlooked, as we had a delightful stay and wished we could have stayed longer."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a bit over cast but it was good and clean beds was comfy"

Hotel Solares

8/10 Good

"Room is clean"

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the road noise was very loud. Check in was kind of annoying in that my vehicle license plate number was required to get a parking pass so that meant walking out once to get my plate number then a second time to put the pass in my car. The breakfast was ok too but cold cereal and yogurts would have been a nice addition."

Sunny, Modern Cottage w/ Stunning Views, Steps from Beach & Natural Bridges

8/10 Good

"Everything was good. But there's no washer & dryer which are essential for travelers."

Serenity at Natural Bridges - 5 min Walk to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful home. Very spacious, very clean and the host left detailed instructions and was easily accessible."
