Top Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"Paradox is my go-to hotel in Santa Cruz! Great location, convenient to everything and a relaxed fun atmosphere with terrific staff."
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast buffet was great. Location was good, 5 minute walk to the pier/main street with all the restaurants a day shops. They even have 2 TVs except both remotes controls both TV, so you have to close to the one you want to control. They didn't have to have 2 TVs. Oh well."
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Super clean, well appointed and moderately priced."
Ocean Pacific Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Clean,pool and hot tub was nice great location walking distance to pier"
Seaside Inn & Suites
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent value for the very reasonable rate. They honored our request for downstairs rooms. Microwave, fridge, and a work desk were provided and the bed was comfortable."
Beachview Inn
8/10 Good
"Parking lot is small but we easily found a space in lot in the morning where we could leave our car until 4pm check-in. Very friendly staff with easy check in, completed upon arrival in the morning. We just had to return later to pick up our key. The desk clerk offered us an early check in at 1 pm for $25, which we declined since we knew we'd be at the beach all afternoon. The room was small but very clean and pleasant, with some upgrades such as hard surface flooring, updated vanity area and rainfall-style showerhead. Shower was great with good water pressure. However, the bath towels were thin and very small. The soap bars were so small, I would describe them as single use, at best. The mattress and pillows could use upgrading. The mattress was springy, although not particularly uncomfortable and did not slope towards the center like some older mattresses can do. The pillows were lumpy, uncomfortable and and needed to be replaced. Hanging space for clothes was minimal, just a rack on the wall with 2 hangers. No closet. Also, there was no luggage rack. We put our suitcase on the only chair in the room. The A/C was powerful and worked well. It was perfectly fine for one night and the location was 10/10! Despite the drawbacks, I would stay here again, bringing my own pillow and soap next time. Worth it to be an easy 5 minute walk to the beach!"
Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Was a great experience"
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
8/10 Good
"Great snacks in room. Room service food was good. The drink at the bar didn't have much alcohol. Some others were obviously upset by the length of time and skill making their drinks. One thing that was annoying was after checkout they don't grant access to pool shower or bathroom. We wanted to rinse off after last day at beach. Also they don't rent out or provide umbrellas for beach. Other than that nice visit."
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel, right on the boardwalk, perfect location. Friendly staff, great coffee, feee popcorn all afternoon. Comfortable rooms,really impressed."
