Top Santa Cruz Main Beach Hotel Reviews
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Has everything but a pool, but you have the beach, ocean right across the street. Perfect for kids. And a pretty good breakfast nothing major, but had everything for a good breakfast."
Casablanca On The Beach
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location, close to everything. The room had a great view of the beach and bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that we were not informed the outdoor area outside our room (the entire deck) was private to another guest’s room. While staff was polite informing us we were essentially trespassing on our neighbors personal space, it was an uncomfortable situation that could have been avoided if there were signs or it had been made clear beforehand."
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Great location, easy to access the beach and boardwalk."
Seaside Inn & Suites
8/10 Good
"Clean and good"
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"This, in my humble opinion, is the best place to stay in Santa Cruz. It’s DIRECTLY in the middle of town—it’s easy to get anywhere from the hotel. The property is adorable. The pool is great. The bar is open late and the food is good. The rooms are updated and super cute. Whenever friends come to see our daughter at UCSC, I always recommend it. We love it ."
Beachview Inn
10/10 Excellent
"This is our second year staying here. It’s so close to the beach and boardwalk. Practically across the street. Very friendly staff. Clean nice rooms. Will stay here again next year."
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
