Top Town Clock Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"10 min walk to the boardwalk or to the downtown area. Clean rooms friendly staff"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is highly recommended."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, extremely clean and well maintained, and great staff. The only thing I’d change is utilizing the common room off the lobby and serving breakfast, or at least coffee."

Best Western Plus All Suites Inn

8/10 Good

"Elevator was out of order so we had to get a first floor room. It was noisy due to breakfast being right outside our room. The window was facing the hall and even with closed shutters allowed light intrusion. The breakfast was somewhat limited compared to other best westerns we have stayed at. The coffee and hot chocolate dispenser wasn’t delivering quality product (mostly water). Staff was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable, too. The location was convenient for our needs. Overall our stay was satisfactory."

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and check in was easy. The motel is cute and our room was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for two. The bathroom was also clean and spacious. Definitely walkable to the boardwalk. Parking was a little tight but had plenty of spaces. Would recommend and would stay here again."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean a perfect for our stay. Super dog friendly. Lovely pool area."

Seaside Inn & Suites

"Me and my family decided to have a last minute beach visit we had no idea we were going to want to stay the night and once we figured we would I called everywhere (it was 7pm) and only this hotel answered there was always someone to help at the desk and it was fast and easy to book and it was a great price and me and my family would definitely recommend my only complaint would be you can hear the trash people early in the morning but everything else was just what we wanted"
