Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great room to celebrate my daughter’s first trip (and as a teenager) to The Beach Boardwalk!! Beautiful views of the ocean, boardwalk at night, and easily walkable to all the things you want to do."

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!"

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Convinent location. Updated rooms"

Lighthouse Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house awesome location! I know that Santa Cruz isn't usually hot this time of year, but it was in the mid to high 80s and the AC was either broken or didn't work very well at all. Just take into consideration if you are staying during the super hot months! Other than that, it was a fabulous stay!"
