Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed staying here; we had two rooms for a family trip. Loved the electric car charging station on-site. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful."

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our visit. The location was close to downtown and the staff was helpful and knowledgeable. Air conditioning worked well and ran quietly. There was plenty of parking. We loved the biscuits and gravy offered at breakfast."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel had a very quirky feel about it. From the outside of the building, it looks akin to a nightclub. The rooms were a decent size and tastefully decorated. Starbucks coffee pods were a nice treat. The pool & jacuzzi were first rate. The pool did get overtaken by children screeching and screaming from quite early in the day through til late afternoon, but that’s not a criticism of the hotel. But it would have been nice to have had a swim without the children dive bombing into the pool constantly. Perhaps an adult only swim time before 10am and after 5pm would be welcomed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were first rate. I enjoyed my stay very much. Recommended."
