Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Restaurant is good. Room was relatively quiet although the hotel was full. Pool is smaller than anticipated. Personel was friendly and helpful. Not enough towels in the room and no face towels. Easily fixed with calling house keeping."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had amazing family time! Short walk to the beach and many restaurants. Highly recommend!"

The Aqua Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel ! Great service , and great location !"

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and there seemed to be enough linens. The shower was not good as the water pressure to the shower head was poor because the lever to pull up for the water to go to the shower head was faulty and could not be pulled up enough to provide enough water for a enough water to come up. The drain was stopped up so water was filling up the tub. Also, you could not open the door all the way to get into the toilet so you had to shut the bathroom door completely before you could sit on the toilet."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"a great find when visiting Santa Cruz!"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"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"
