Running Springs Vacations from $314

The location was great for what we wanted to see and do. The hotel is dated but clean and comfortable. The pillows could use an upgrade but otherwise we slept comfortably. Staff was nice.

For the price of the rooms this hotel hit the spot. Good location, clean, and easy check in/out process.

This was a good place for a quick trip to Santa Cruz. We stayed with our family of 5 for one night. There was plenty of space for all of us. They only have stairs so if you need an elevator you would need to request the first floor. The place is a bit run down however, if the only thing you need is a clean place with a bed to sleep in then this will work for you. The walking distance to the boardwalk was great. It made it easy for us to come and go as needed. Our room was right by the patio on the second floor where people would hang out and smoke. I wasn’t a fan of that because we could smell it in the room. The beds were not super comfortable but you get what you get for the price.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Nice and clean accommodations.

Hotel was very near and walkable to Alcatraz tour, Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Cable car, Ghirardelli square, Boudin Bakery, great restaurants
