Top De Anza Beach Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"."

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean room and the property manager is very friendly and accommodating."

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It was very nice and I would stay there again. Good location, a short walk from the beach and Natural Bridges, and walkable to downtown. It’s on a main street but our room was quiet. Breakfast was basic."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely family-friendly and clean/maintained property. The staff was friendly and engaging and there was always someone available to assist with questions and requests. Super close to the beach and boardwalk with an added bonus of having a cute cafe there!"

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"My husband only stayed for one night. The room was clean, grounds looked kept and it was within a 5 minute walk to the wharf and boardwalk. Close to many shops and restaurants. I would stay again. They have a pool and jacuzzi as well that looked clean, although we didn't use it."

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Check in was quick and simple. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were very spacious and clean and the view was PERFECT! Definitely will be returning. O and I highly recommend Jack O’Neil Restaurant. I ordered a steak and it was DELICIOUS!!"

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for work would not recommend for families with children lots of unsavory traffic"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel had a very quirky feel about it. From the outside of the building, it looks akin to a nightclub. The rooms were a decent size and tastefully decorated. Starbucks coffee pods were a nice treat. The pool & jacuzzi were first rate. The pool did get overtaken by children screeching and screaming from quite early in the day through til late afternoon, but that’s not a criticism of the hotel. But it would have been nice to have had a swim without the children dive bombing into the pool constantly. Perhaps an adult only swim time before 10am and after 5pm would be welcomed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were first rate. I enjoyed my stay very much. Recommended."
