Top Ox Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"The Hyatt was beautiful and clean and the staff were helpful. It was my mistake to not have checked the location of our second floor suite. Unfortunately our room was above the kitchen, and facing the street where the valet parking took place well into the evening. Lots of music from cars and the noise of car doors shutting. The staff did supply ear plugs so I slept fine after that. Loved the heated salt water pool and hot tub. Lovely guests and amenities. Breakfast was 5 star. Very nice and would stay again"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a bit over cast but it was good and clean beds was comfy"

Four Points by Sheraton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the room"

Comfort Inn Santa Cruz North

10/10 Excellent

"The location worked well for the activities that I planned. The breakfast was suitable for my needs. The staff very helpful. The room was spacious. The hotel is has two stories and no elevator. Fortunately they sent a message to make me aware of this and I got a needed first floor room."

Redwood Home - view of the river!

10/10 Excellent

"This place was immaculate. I really appreciated that. It's a little small for more than a couple of people, but since there's so much to do out-and-about, that probably isn't a problem. It was great for my sister and myself. The kitchen is very well equipped, with modern and well-running appliances, including an excellent washer and drier. Everything works great and is in great condition.The turn out of Brackney onto Highway 9 is a bit tight, so we just went north for a quarter mile and U turned to head south when going down toward Felton and Santa Cruz. The property location is great, right on the San Lorenzo. Only that turn on Highway 9 was a location problem, and that's surmountable (thus the 4 stars on 'location')."

Fern River Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Fern River Resort was such a special getaway. We were surrounded by breathtaking redwood trees, a very clean river on the property and wonderful staff. Check in was a breeze and instructions were super clear on how to get to our cabin. Our cabin #2 was extremely clean and very cozy, the bedding was plush and pink! I loved that we had the option to cook there. At the property, Lisa was able to also accommodate an extension on our last day there thankfully because we weren't ready to leave yet, she was profesional and very kind. We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending this special place in the woods to friends and family."
