Top Midtown Hotel Reviews

Hotel Solares

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, roomy, comfy. Great location. Quiet. Wish they still served breakfast items..."

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Seacliff Inn has a great location, highway access very close and it’s convenient to both Santa Cruz and Watsonville. Rooms were comfortable and well laid out. Grounds were nicely landscaped and perfect for lounging adults and playful children. Our breakfast was delicious and relaxing. Dinner too was tasty and staff couldn’t be any nicer. Seacliff beach is a short drive as are ice cream cones. For the season, I thought room rates were reasonable. Rooms provided peace for sleep."

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."

Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice beds, soft sheets and 4 great pillows on a med firm good bed. Quiet, peaceful. Safe and a really great location. Within 3 miles of Shadowbrook restaurant for their free taxi, or easy 5 min drive to park lot. Hotel was good. Sliding glass door to open to tiny patio, best on 2nd flr. Clouds from ocean in night and am cool off room well."
