Top Younger Beach Hotel Reviews

Hotel Solares

10/10 Excellent

"Visited with a small group. Room was spacious. 2 blocks from the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Elevator was hot and tight - Stairs were easily accessible. Only complaint - They forgot to refill Toilet Paper. Other than that this room was great."

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"To. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Bath towels weren’t great. Complimentary coffees were nice. Air conditioner worked great. Very quiet. Close to restaurants & shopping."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Good overnight only. The rooms could have better pillows and king size. The pillows were flat standard and 4 per king bed not enough. "

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We booked our stay through Expedia, expecting a room with a balcony and an ocean view. Unfortunately, our dining experience at the High Tide restaurant was disappointing. From the hostess who seated us to the uncomfortable low seating at our table, everything felt subpar. The food had no flavor at all, especially when compared to their sister property, Bernardus, in Carmel Valley—there’s simply no comparison. On a positive note, the pool and staff at the hotel were excellent and very accommodating. However, while the room was decent, it did not justify the additional price we were charged for our two-night stay."

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"The room was clean yet needs more TP. I was not able to try pool or hot tub this visit."

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I had no problem parking. Staff was very kind. Bring your own coffee/coffee pot if you want AM coffee. You only get 2 tiny bars of soap. Walking distance to the beach is just a few minutes walk! The room was very clean. Bed comfy. AC at night was perfect & kept the room cool. No noise from upper level which was nice! It was pricy for the weekend but overall I was very happy. "

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Santa Cruz is a gem, so love to stay there. Mission Inn was a great base to operate from."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent time by the pool on a saturday. The burgers were out of this world. Staff was very friendly and helpful."
