"Clean room, safe"
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"We’ve stayed at this property twice, and both times were enjoyable! Clean rooms, helpful staff, outdoor pool for the family and pet friendly! We will be staying here again!"
Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Great Breakfast. Great pool and hot Tub. Very Nice Room. Wonderful Staff."
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"I’m a mom that was traveling alone with my 2 kids. What I really appreciated, even tho it was a open air type hotel, all entry points to access hallways and rooms had locked gates that required keycard to access to hallways and bedroom doors, so that made me feel safer with the kids. It was like 10 steps to the front of the board walk, which was awesome! The whole reason we came, a little fun weekend at the boardwalk before school started again. I thought maybe it would he noisy being so close to boardwalk but we got back to hotel about 9pm and I had no problem getting my youngest to sleep, no loud noises from parking lot or park and we had a slider and balcony facing boardwalk parking lot. The free breakfast was great too! My kids LOVED getting to make their own waffles. For the cost of hotel, can’t beat it. I will 100% be coming back again. :) also, icing on top, I’ve stayed in other hotels and parking was a nightmare, this hotel had easy access parking at no extra cost AND they let me park a few hours before my check in time so I didn’t have to pay to park in the boardwalk parking lot. I was able to get a parking pass from hotel to park then we just came back a few hours later and checked into our room and went back to boardwalk."

"Great stay. Luv this hotel"
Seaside Inn & Suites
8/10 Good
"Clean and good"
Torch Lite Inn
8/10 Good
"Location was fantastic. Staff were very nice. Air conditioning worked great. Easy to park. Felt safe. The place could use some touch-ups. Our room smelled overwhelmingly of cleaner when we first arrived, so we had to open the door and window to air it out. True to the smell, the room was mostly very clean (especially the bed linens and towels)--the only issue was some mold in the bathroom. (Guys, I think it's time to replace that shower curtain.) I hope they do something nice with the dirt area that apparently used to be a pool. Would probably stay again--honestly, the biggest deterrent would be having to deal with the overwhelming cleaner smell again."
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"We were impressed by the room; it was very clean and cozy. The hotel is located near the ocean, within walking distance. We were very pleased."
