Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Right next to the beach"

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Not exactly seaside at all, but I would say a step up from the average motel, room key required to access hallway with your rooms so a little extra safety and friendly staff. Bcycle station right down the road to bike around!"

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"We have stayed there many times. The place is always accommodating. The stairs from the room to the street was pretty dirty. Other than that… the place looked the same."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Courteous, friendly, helpful staff from parking valet to front desk reception. Conveniently situated location. Room was clean, comfortable, well-appointed. Excellent, hearty, substantial complimentary breakfast."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Quiet room on back side of building with great beds! There is not much room to store luggage though, and could use a love seat or something for more seating. Also the tub floor was 8" taller than the bathroom floor so getting out of the shower or bath is a fall risk - there were no hand rails to grab on to1"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Morgan Hill-San Jose South

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great. Check in was easy. Very clean and quiet"

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel grounds. Did not have a chance to use pool or try restaurant. Internet not satisfactory. Parking fee seems unnecessary for location."

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was remarkably simple!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Monterey Beachfront-Marina, CA

8/10 Good

"Tv wasn’t working"
