Top Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"It's pricey but that's due to the location. It's a nice place though."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Very good location"
Casablanca On The Beach
10/10 Excellent
"This renovated property is across the street from the beach and a block from the Santa Cruz pier. It is blocks from the train that takes you to the redwoods. It couldn’t be any better of a location. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for a visit."
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
8/10 Good
"Great new hotel (as of 2025-on), decent prince, amazing location, parking lot was convienent and safe. Rooms we super clean and up to date. The only thing I would knock on this place is the breakfast situation, food was good and fresh but people are corralled into a tiny room with food and coffee on both sides jammed up against each other. The flow of people through a line was non-existent. The waffle station (super popular) is jammed in there right next to the eggs sand bacon, so people have to wait for 2 mins and get in the way of everyone else trying to get other items. Its coffee and eggs. Its a total mess and only a matter of time before hot coffee gets spilled on someone getting a waffle. This needs to be fixed ASAP. The dining room is huge and they definitely have the space to rectify this. I hope they do as this would cause me to pick another hotel at a similar cost. Mornings are already fraught for families and this situation did not help and caused a good deal of stress for me and my fellow patrons. La Quinta PLEASE FIX !"
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"I stayed solo 6 nights to visit friends nearby so very convenient. The staff could not have been friendlier and made the stay very comfortable. The Solaire food was most excellent. The staff get an A++ and are a real asset. The carts by housekeeping make alot of noise on the concrete walkways making napping impossible during the day. Avoid a room by the stair as people run up and down and noise radiates through the walls. The rooms were very quiet for the most part as they are soundproofed. That is kind of rare. The pool area looked very inviting but for the fact there were alot of families on vacation. The public spaces were inviting to use and tastefully decorated in various themes. I didn't learn the building history but Marriot did a great job converting an old hotel into something more resort-like."
Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"The location is great.Pretty close walk to the boardwalk and funn center mini golf and so on room was very clean"
Torch Lite Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Above all else, staff was amazing. The rooms were clean and cozy. The inn is super close to the boardwalk which is nice. We had a lovely stay there and even made friends with a neighborhood cat named Honey (the sweetest). Definitely recommend and will be back."
Dream Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is a bit expensive but the proximity to the boardwalk in the private beach that they have along with the pool with food and drinks is a real big plus, I definitely recommend this hotel good parking nice restaurant next to it. Every room hasn’t been , my family and I love this place."
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"The pool, hot tub and deck area were great for relaxing, walking distance to downtown shops and rest as well as the boardwalk. Trader Joe’s and CVS near by for all the at once needs"
