Hotels in Rio del Mar

The location was great, and the room was good.

The motel was recently remodeled and was very nice. The only place it fell down was the tub wasn't replaced, but that's extremely expensive and not necessary. The breakfast was excellent. The facility was very clean. The staff was beyond helpful. I use a cane and the housekeeper got the maintenance man to help me with a box I had to move to my car. Everyone was cheerful and nice.

All I wish is for there to be an option for a late check out. That’s the only thing I would say was a little bit of a bummer. Overall the stay was perfectly quiet and cozy! I would definitely return and recommend to friends and family!

Absolutly LOVE this place...we go as often as we can afford...staff is always super nice..

Best bang for your buck right off the Aptos beach

Great place and the staff are amazing!

Good stay, nice property,

we asked upon arrival about a ground floor room, normally you need to request this in advance. They got us a room on ground level with a king and a double bed and with our party of 3 we were tickled with this accommodation. (Had reserved a room with two queens) It was clean and comfortable.

Santa Cruz is notorious for dirty expensive hotels. This one is a little closer to the freeway vs the boardwalk but it was very nice and clean, with a really nice breakfast buffet. It's worth taking a Lyft or Uber to Pacific Ave or the Boardwalk area to stay in this hotel. I will be coming back.

I enjoyed my stay! Very clean room and staff was very friendly and even let us check in early! Only downside was the parking and if you fail to get a spot you have to park in a alleyway behind.However, if you get a spot, its in a very walkable spot! 15 minutes away from downtown walking distance & 3 mins from boardwalk! Overall great, enjoyed it.

It was very clean and everyone was friendly.

Owner was very understanding when i had car trouble and my car came back on a tow truck . Even hooked me up with a mobile mechanic who replaced my starter for a very fair price .

This place blew my expectations out of the marina. In all seriousness, great value, very clean, and cozy. We asked for our breakfast bag to go the night prior due to early travel plans the next morning and they were very gracious in giving it to us, and you can tell its made with love. Would come again.

I was looking for a weekend get-away and this location was perfect. It is in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Beautiful views and very peaceful. Holiday House includes a small fridge, microwave, and stove.

The photos on Expedia are outdated. This place had new paint on the outside of building, updated and the rooms and carpet looked like they remodeled it. So it didn’t look as outdated as the photos! Looked better! Parking lot is huge, the area is quiet. Walkable to the beach and loved all the locals and neighborhoods we walked through to get there. Community is safe. The staff was kind!

Excellent service and really clean. I would book here again!

Very clean, friendly staff. Walking distance to Marina Beach. Denny's on property. Quiet in inner courtyard room even though right by freeway.

Everything was great and the room had features that I can really appreciate. For instance, a sink in the bathroom and outside the bathroom door. Even something as thoughtful as having a card dropbox by the door next to the parking The only downside was the mattress. Both nights I woke up with my lower back and hips aching. I know it was the mattress because I could get up and walk around and it didn’t bother me, but when I laid down again, the ache returned. I ended up sleeping on the sofa in...
