Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Wonderful location and nice beach hotel!"

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Seamless check in, and really good amenities for the price. Didn’t even get a chance to use the putting green"

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"I always stay here when in Santa Cruz. Excellent customer service. Perfectly located and the property is always spotless."
