Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great! Staff was very friendly and helpful."
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Liked the big queen bedroom with a foto of Capitola covering the wall. Liked the quiet location. Room was very clean and had everything you need. We were not aware that we had to pay $20 extra for parking, but we were lucky to get a free parking spot right in front of the hotel (on the street) with a handicap placard."
