Top Upland Open Space Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This renovated property is across the street from the beach and a block from the Santa Cruz pier. It is blocks from the train that takes you to the redwoods. It couldn’t be any better of a location. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for a visit."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Great new hotel (as of 2025-on), decent prince, amazing location, parking lot was convienent and safe. Rooms we super clean and up to date. The only thing I would knock on this place is the breakfast situation, food was good and fresh but people are corralled into a tiny room with food and coffee on both sides jammed up against each other. The flow of people through a line was non-existent. The waffle station (super popular) is jammed in there right next to the eggs sand bacon, so people have to wait for 2 mins and get in the way of everyone else trying to get other items. Its coffee and eggs. Its a total mess and only a matter of time before hot coffee gets spilled on someone getting a waffle. This needs to be fixed ASAP. The dining room is huge and they definitely have the space to rectify this. I hope they do as this would cause me to pick another hotel at a similar cost. Mornings are already fraught for families and this situation did not help and caused a good deal of stress for me and my fellow patrons. La Quinta PLEASE FIX !"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed solo 6 nights to visit friends nearby so very convenient. The staff could not have been friendlier and made the stay very comfortable. The Solaire food was most excellent. The staff get an A++ and are a real asset. The carts by housekeeping make alot of noise on the concrete walkways making napping impossible during the day. Avoid a room by the stair as people run up and down and noise radiates through the walls. The rooms were very quiet for the most part as they are soundproofed. That is kind of rare. The pool area looked very inviting but for the fact there were alot of families on vacation. The public spaces were inviting to use and tastefully decorated in various themes. I didn't learn the building history but Marriot did a great job converting an old hotel into something more resort-like."
