Top Younger Beach Hotel Reviews

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Recently renovated and very clean. Comfy and quiet. However, the renovations are a lil bit slapdash. The towel bar in my room was broken and held in place by some gel like glue, for ex. The bed was firm and the sheets and towels crisp. I enjoy a rough towel. Not even kidding. The body wash may or may not resemble dish soap. Sensitive skin folks you already know to bring your own. I’d stay here again."

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the road noise was very loud. Check in was kind of annoying in that my vehicle license plate number was required to get a parking pass so that meant walking out once to get my plate number then a second time to put the pass in my car. The breakfast was ok too but cold cereal and yogurts would have been a nice addition."

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff was kind and helpful, and location was great for helping my daughter move into UCSC."

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed multiple times here! Always clean and great location. Walking distance to the pier and boardwalk."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beach views, pool, rooftop chill areas,so nice! Walkable to boardwalk"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very clean property and friendly staff"

West Cliff Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house felt like a home and we had plenty of room. The location was AMAZING! My sisters in law and I did the Santa Cruz 70.3IM and it was perfect viewing for my niece and nephew to cheer us on since we went by several times just steps from the house. It was so close to the start/finish as well. As I mentioned the house felt like a home and there were plenty of games for the littles in our family and they really enjoyed the “vintage” TV in the bedroom. It was also great being able to walk those few steps to see all the wildlife visible from the viewpoints near the house. If we do this race again or simply visit Santa Cruz we would love to stay there again. Thank you for everything."
