Top Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews
Marea Sol Hotel
8/10 Good
"We stayed in the room with a full ocean view, private balcony. While the view is lovely, the street noise is a bother. Parking is available on site for $25 a day. The parking lot is SUPER funky. Only 1 way in and the same way out. The location was perfect for the beach or the Boardwalk or the pier. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was well appointed."
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."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Great location at the beach! We had a room in front with ocean view and a deck to star at the sea and watch beach volleyball. The Bubbly greeting (or apple cider) along w/free snacks and drinks in-room is a nice touch!"
Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed here every time I go to Santa Cruz. It's close to the boardwalk and it's very well maintained"
Dream Inn Santa Cruz
8/10 Good
"Wonderful location and nice beach hotel!"
Seaside Inn & Suites
8/10 Good
"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"Seamless check in, and really good amenities for the price. Didn’t even get a chance to use the putting green"
