Top Santa Cruz Main Beach Hotel Reviews
Beachview Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Love the shower - clean specious room."
Seaway Inn
10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean and parking was right outside. Everything worked out well."
The Aqua Pacific Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"It was good and it fun and I like it"
Seaside Inn & Suites
8/10 Good
"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"The location was great, and the room was good."
Carousel Beach Inn
8/10 Good
"No windows Need a window."
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"Seamless check in, and really good amenities for the price. Didn’t even get a chance to use the putting green"
Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Great location, walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Staff is friendly and helpful."
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
8/10 Good
"Unfortunately, when we first checked in, we found bedbugs in the bed while doing our usual bed check. We immediately notified the front desk and showed them photos. The staff was very concerned, took the situation seriously, and quickly moved us to a different room far away from the original one. Our new room was very clean, and we had no further issues during our stay. The hotel was extremely accommodating and waived our parking fees and provided us with breakfast, which we really appreciated. Despite the rough start, everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful. We also had great service at the hotel bar and restaurant. The hot tub was unfortunately out of service and being repaired during our stay, so we weren’t able to use it. However, the pool was amazing and heated, which we really enjoyed! Finding bedbugs was obviously concerning, but I really appreciated how seriously and professionally the staff handled the situation. Their customer service made a big difference in our overall experience."
