Ocean Echo Inn and Beach Cottages
All-around wonderful experience! The location is great, the rooms are clean and well-designed (and quiet!) and the bed was super comfy. Be sure to go to Cole's BBQ for some ribs. I will be back!

Hitching Post Studios Inn
The room was just as expected. We chose this hotel because of location, price & the kitchen. Our son is attending UCSC, and we wanted to find a hotel that wouldn’t break the bank & allow us to not spend a fortune at restaurants. Thank you. We will be back.

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley
Loved everything about this hotel. Nothing beat waking up and sitting on the balcony, enveloped in the fog. It was the perfect distance for those who love windy drives. Staff was friendly and super helpful.
