Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"I wasn't there too long -- just one night. But it was perfect for just me: clean, comfortable, and quiet. (I was a little concerned when I saw packages of earplugs on the nightstands, but it was a peaceful night.) The person working the front desk was great! I asked her advice on a quick place to eat within walking distance and she suggested the perfect restaurant! A great place with great staff!"

Vacation Home in Seabright

8/10 Good
"The location was great and the home was spacious! The Internet and electronics (TV’s and Cable boxes) are really outdated though and caused issues. The Internet randomly disconnects very frequently and then you have to reset the box for 5 min and try to reconnect to Xfinity. Eventually the cable stopped working all together which kept us from watching a football game we all wanted to watch. The upstairs TV is just as bad. Besides the Internet/TV issues, the home is nice. There are a few lights that don’t work but that’s ok. The beach is only like 1 min away walking distance so that’s awesome!"
