Top Santa Cruz Main Beach Hotel Reviews
Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved our stay. Great and friendly staff. Valet was super welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The treadmills weren’t working. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel. The location was in close proximity to the beach and downtown which was perfect. Overall it was amazing and would definitely book again."
Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"The location is great for a short walk to the beach and Boardwalk and the on site free parking saves on the $25 weekend parking lot cost. The staff are very friendly and helpful. For an older motel it's well maintained and clean."
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"5 minute walk to the boardwalk. Very safe, quiet and clean"
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"I think overall this hotel is fabulous. The food and drinks were delicious. Room was wonderful with gorgeous views. Our room was beautiful and small suggestions would be put in snacks people actually want to eat. Everything looked unappealing. Sugar loaded. As prediabetic I can’t eat anything they had for us. Also not everyone likes raisins so, offer things other than sugar bombs and things with raisins/cranberries! Offer better snacks! :)"
Seaside Inn & Suites
10/10 Excellent
"For the price, it was fine. Clean and easy parking."
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"A great place to stay while working in the area, However I would not recommend for a family on vacation. Bad part of town with nairdowells."
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
8/10 Good
"My biggest question would be why on earth are the towels grey…? They don’t look clean even if they are, but also they don’t look like the color is intentionally chosen… they’re pale grey and look as though they just don’t get washed properly."
