Top Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk Hotel Reviews

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Love the old California style. We had a very enjoyable stay, The hotel is positioned nicely near the beach and boardwalk, the property is well cared for and managed. The only down side was the extraordinarily high price (twice that of a more fancy hotel) for accomodations during the summer season."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Walking distance from Boardwalk was very convenient. The room and bed were huge, it had all the amenities necessary. The bad thing (for me as a short person)😏 too many stairs. At night not enough parking spaces.🙄 Also the vending machines need to get fixed or have more options. Overall I would recommend 👌The cleaning ladies were very nice.😀"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and property"

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. The staff was extremely helpful and nice. My husband is an amputee and I forgot to request a downstairs room when I booked and they were kind enough to accommodate us at check in. Definitely will stay there again."

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"The staff is very friendly. However, the Air inside the room is not well circulated when the door is closed. The room is tidy but not super clean in some areas. Air conditioning is working but a little bit noise and the fan is not very clean. Can hear noise from neighboring rooms and cars outside. Overall, with a price, I think it is still worth it."

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and price."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome hotel for families with young kids. Great location with playground nearby for morning/evening park time. Walking distance to downtown for retail shopping and local eateries. Eight minute drive to the boardwalk, close enough but still far enough from the crowds/congested traffic. Hotel staff and amenities were fantastic. Hot tub and pool was our highlight! Very comfortable temps for the entire family. Poolside service was great. Food was reasonably priced and delicious. Hotel staff was very accommodating to requests. Hotel provided free bottled water the entire duration of our stay and even offer s’mores kit for the kids to enjoy in the evening. Overall, one of the best hotel stays I’ve ever experience. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend to all looking for a hotel with amazing hospitality and care."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"This kids and I were on our way back home from our road trip and were stopping in Santa Cruz for the night. The arrival and check in was fast and easy. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Hotel was in a great location and a short walking distance to the boardwalk and restaurants. It was perfect for my kids and I short stay. The hotel also has a guest laundry room on site where you can do a couple loads of laundry if needed. I love getting back home and not have to do laundry so this was a big plus for me. I really enjoyed my stay here and will be staying here again soon."
