"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 ."

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."
