Top Lower Ocean Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Good job"

The Aqua Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was good and it fun and I like it"

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Seamless check in, and really good amenities for the price. Didn’t even get a chance to use the putting green"

Drift Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Very large, and clean rooms. Lots of cable channels to choose from. A very relaxing experience. Definitely will be back."

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."

Ocean Gate Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Bob was amazing since the minute I arrived super nice and helpful"

Hotel Solares

10/10 Excellent

"I would recommend this stay"
