Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"..."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are beautiful! Staff super attentive, food was excellent! Location can't be beat! Can't wait to return!"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was very comfortable and an excellent location right in the middle of santa cruz"

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the road noise was very loud. Check in was kind of annoying in that my vehicle license plate number was required to get a parking pass so that meant walking out once to get my plate number then a second time to put the pass in my car. The breakfast was ok too but cold cereal and yogurts would have been a nice addition."

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed multiple times here! Always clean and great location. Walking distance to the pier and boardwalk."

West Cliff Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house felt like a home and we had plenty of room. The location was AMAZING! My sisters in law and I did the Santa Cruz 70.3IM and it was perfect viewing for my niece and nephew to cheer us on since we went by several times just steps from the house. It was so close to the start/finish as well. As I mentioned the house felt like a home and there were plenty of games for the littles in our family and they really enjoyed the “vintage” TV in the bedroom. It was also great being able to walk those few steps to see all the wildlife visible from the viewpoints near the house. If we do this race again or simply visit Santa Cruz we would love to stay there again. Thank you for everything."
