Top Nobel Hotel Reviews

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel in a great location, just steps from the beach! The hotel is exceptionally clean and super dog-friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The beautiful gardens, koi pond, and peaceful atmosphere really stood out. The on-site restaurant was also a great convenience. Overall, a lovely place to stay, especially if you’re traveling with your furry family members. 🐾🌴"

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and quiet, new building. Great staff. Beachfront and right by boardwalk location."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location, spacious room, comfy bed and a reasonable price; all good!"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t possibly give this resort enough stars. Exceeds expectations with the complimentary bottle of wine and snacks in the room, motion activated lighting under bathroom counters to guide the way to the toilet at night, the low step in the shower to put your leg on to shave. The pool was fantastic, as was the Aperol Spritz. The location could not have been better. Valet parking so easy. Helpful, effective staff. Everywhere I looked there was some decorative accent impressive enough to photograph. I could hear the ocean from my pool view room. I’m leaving against my will, can’t wait to go back. When I get home I guarantee no one will greet me with a smile and glass of champagne!"

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Value for your money. Beautiful and very spacious rooms!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and room was clean."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
