Top Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews
Surf City Inn and Suites
8/10 Good
"Decent experience, nothing special. Our kids appreciated the pool for sure and somewhat close walking distance to the boardwalk. There was hair in our shower drain, not a huge deal but a little ick. We also got called from the hotel staff that we were making too much noise the morning we were leaving, simply walking around to pack up when the night before there were several parties going on around us and our kids couldn't fall asleep and that went on until about 2am."
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Great location, clean rooms, safe location. We were there to drop off our daughter at UCSC so it was perfect for what we needed."
Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Very helpful responsive front desk person in advance of arrival and while checking in and out. Room better than expected, totallt comfortable and looked good. No noise barrier but easily handled with leaving fan on. Earplugs were left out by staff too if needed. Slight musty odor but frankly that was to be expected a a motel near the beach! Great location, just blocks from boardwalk!!! Would definitely stay again."
The Aqua Pacific Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"I liked this property from the first time I stayed and after staying at two other motels in town I like this one even more. The beds are comfy, everything is clean, the TV is the perfect size and you can sign into diffrent apps and watch what you want, the pool and spa in the courtyard are well kept, the blindes keep all the light out and I never hear any noise while in my room . The only thing that is less than perfect is the parking, but that's the only problem I've ever encountered during my stays here. The front desk staff are very helpful and accommodating as well. It's not a 5 star but for the price I find it's a great deal."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property, awesome pool and hot tub, perfect location"
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Very good location. Excellent services. The only issue we had was parking the car in the carpark late af night as most spots were taken. We had to park our Santa Fe in a space for a compact car. That was a challenge !"
Ocean Pacific Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Conveniently located near the boardwalk, West Cliff walk and downtown restaurants and entertainment. Parking is tight, but we always got a space. The name is deceptive; it’s not a lodge, it’s a three story exterior corridor motel. It’s a bit pricey for what it is, but the location is very good."
Carousel Beach Inn
8/10 Good
"Such a cute place! Great location to the boardwalk we didn’t need to bring so much because going back to the hotel to grab beach stuff was so convenient. The only thing they can improve on is the hot water, it was pretty lukewarm for every shower. But the staff was super friendly, it’s close to the boardwalk and the place had personality which i loved!"
Casablanca On The Beach
10/10 Excellent
"I initially wasn’t happy with having no one to check us in when we are first arrived however, once that situation was fixed were more than pleased with our room and we also had a great view of the beach from our balcony. Very big room only problem is they have no carpet on the floor it’s the fake plastic floor, which is noisy when you walk on it at night overall very good experience and will go back there again."
