Walls had unexplained stains running down them, and the bathroom had about five flies we had to swat.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

"Breakfast buffet was great. Location was good, 5 minute walk to the pier/main street with all the restaurants a day shops. They even have 2 TVs except both remotes controls both TV, so you have to close to the one you want to control. They didn't have to have 2 TVs. Oh well."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent value for the very reasonable rate. They honored our request for downstairs rooms. Microwave, fridge, and a work desk were provided and the bed was comfortable."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Great snacks in room. Room service food was good. The drink at the bar didn't have much alcohol. Some others were obviously upset by the length of time and skill making their drinks. One thing that was annoying was after checkout they don't grant access to pool shower or bathroom. We wanted to rinse off after last day at beach. Also they don't rent out or provide umbrellas for beach. Other than that nice visit."
