Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good
"We had a very good stay at La Quinta Inn & Suites Santa Cruz. The hotel was clean, modern, and comfortable. Our room was spacious, quiet, and well maintained, and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay, making check-in and check-out quick and easy. The location was convenient, with easy access to downtown Santa Cruz, the Beach Boardwalk, restaurants, and other attractions. While the complimentary breakfast was fairly basic and could be improved with more variety and higher-quality options, it was adequate for a quick start to the day. Overall, the hotel offered excellent value for the price. We would happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located place to stay in Santa Cruz."
