Top Santa Cruz Main Beach Hotel Reviews
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Great affordable place, beds are nice, nice staff. Unfortunately pool was closed but other than that, it was amazing"
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Beach views, pool, rooftop chill areas,so nice! Walkable to boardwalk"
Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz
8/10 Good
"Staff was friendly. Good price"
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"It was excellent stay away from home."
Ocean Pacific Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"I booked a two-king room to give myself and my two rambunctious boys a little extra space, and it was exactly what we needed! The room was spacious and comfortable, making our stay much more enjoyable. The amenities were incredibly thoughtful, including earplugs, makeup-removing wipes, and real glasses for beverages. The staff was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Everything we needed was available, and then some. The ice machine and vending area were conveniently located, and the pool and hot tub were a huge hit with both me and the kids. The hotel is also in a very convenient location, making it easy to get around. One thing to note is that the parking lot is a little tight, but that's to be expected for this area. Even so, we never had any issues finding a parking spot or being unable to park. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return! 😊"
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent

Beachview Inn

"Clean room, friendly staff, great location."
Carousel Beach Inn
8/10 Good
"Such a cute place! Great location to the boardwalk we didn’t need to bring so much because going back to the hotel to grab beach stuff was so convenient. The only thing they can improve on is the hot water, it was pretty lukewarm for every shower. But the staff was super friendly, it’s close to the boardwalk and the place had personality which i loved!"
Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed here every time I go to Santa Cruz. It's close to the boardwalk and it's very well maintained"
