Hotel Solares

10/10 Excellent

"Visited with a small group. Room was spacious. 2 blocks from the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Elevator was hot and tight - Stairs were easily accessible. Only complaint - They forgot to refill Toilet Paper. Other than that this room was great."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We booked our stay through Expedia, expecting a room with a balcony and an ocean view. Unfortunately, our dining experience at the High Tide restaurant was disappointing. From the hostess who seated us to the uncomfortable low seating at our table, everything felt subpar. The food had no flavor at all, especially when compared to their sister property, Bernardus, in Carmel Valley—there’s simply no comparison. On a positive note, the pool and staff at the hotel were excellent and very accommodating. However, while the room was decent, it did not justify the additional price we were charged for our two-night stay."

Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice beds, soft sheets and 4 great pillows on a med firm good bed. Quiet, peaceful. Safe and a really great location. Within 3 miles of Shadowbrook restaurant for their free taxi, or easy 5 min drive to park lot. Hotel was good. Sliding glass door to open to tiny patio, best on 2nd flr. Clouds from ocean in night and am cool off room well."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Room and refrigerator were clean. Staff both reception and housekeeping were very accommodating. The breakfast buffet area always seemed a little cramped. Waffles were a hit but had to stand in line the first morning a long time as only two waffle makers. Almost always a line to make waffles. I guess the line depends on how many guests show up at the same time. Muffins were the same everyday, it would be nice to have options. Always plenty of bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausages. No hot chocolate packets :( but other option coffee, tea, milk, juices. There was a $25 parking fee per night and I didn’t remember that being mentioned prior to our stay. Around that area there were no other options for overnight parking so no choice. Good to know the parking area is secured. Easy walk to the beach wharf, boardwalk and downtown. Visited the Museum, lots of great I for about the bay. Fun for all ages. I stay definitely again."
