Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful hotel with the nicest staff we have ever met! The location is great, walkable to the beach and many food options! The staff were wonderful and very kind to give us food recommendations!"

Seaway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great. I wish they would clean up the lobby. They use it as a storage space. Extra chairs, refrigerators, lamp shades, and the tv is never on. Can’t sit there and relax. Three days I went there in morning there was no coffee made or hot water for tea. Looks like counter space for snacks but it is cluttered. I love this little hotel but the lobby space has never been finished. 😞"
