Top Three Mile Beach Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"It was a pleasure to stay here. My family enjoyed their stay."

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room and view were lovely. The staff was kind. Our biggest complaint is that at check in time, only 1 person was working so there was a line. Then, our room wasn't ready, and other customers were waiting on rooms too. We were comped a night of parking and given a room upgrade when our room still wasn't ready. It was just hard to hear when your family is tired after a day of traveling."

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is all about location, perfect. The accommodation run by a lovely couple who can’t do enough for you. We came from England for our son’s wedding and found the property small but adequate. It has everything you should need. Bed was comfortable. Thank you to the managers for making this a memorable trip."

Hotel Solares

8/10 Good

"The property is in a good location for walking to the boardwalk. It was a quick and easy walk- even with our 6 year old. The property is older but seems like it was somewhat renovated. The patio furniture was new (our chairs still had the plastic on the cushions). We had the upper corner room and we had a view of the boardwalk from our balcony. The pool was a nice bonus for a quick swim with the kids. It was a busy spot for sure with other families enjoying time there too. The downfall would be that the bathroom floor didn’t seem like it was swept well as there were still a bit of crumbs/debris. Overall it was a nice stay. I do wish they had some sort of breakfast, but that wasn’t a deal breaker."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Cruz, CA

8/10 Good

"This property is away from the tourist crowds. The staff at the front desk were very nice and helpful. The lobby and dining area were very clean and welcoming. The breakfast staff were not as friendly. And the breakfast selection leaves a lot of room for improvement. Our room was very clean. The shower was huge. Overall, the room was very comfortable. There is a small but nice pool area. The hot tub jets were not working when we were there and there was a lot of sand in the hot tub. The fitness center is very small but fine for a quick workout. This is a place I would recommend if you don't mind being a 10 minute drive from the Boardwalk and Main Beach."
