Top Natural Bridges State Park Hotel Reviews

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel with great staff"

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Nice friendly staff. Loved our room 316 which faces main st and has a cute bench to sit and have your coffee in the morning"

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay !!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Pool in pics looks way bigger then the actual and not enough lounge chairs"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Pretty convenient location and a decent price compared with the astronomical price of many other options. Adequate parking and walkable distance to the downtown and plenty of dining options. I would stay again but would make sure my room was not immediately adjacent to the ice machine ( foot traffic of people getting ice) and the pool ( kids birthday parties etc not great if you’re trying to rest). Air conditioning was a bit loud tbh at least in my room - but on the plus side their wasn’t any drama at night or noise and I think they keep a close eye on the place- it’s a motor court arrangement with rooms facing out so could be vulnerable to randoms wandering through but there was no problem."

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff, clean room, affordable. Will come again."

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"So close to everything in Santa Cruz.. especially the beach. Eateries are walkable too. Good view from the room."

Edgewater Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room, great location. Very friendly staff. Only thing I’d mention is that it had a huge deep tub that was challenging to get into and out of as a shorter person but I imagine it would be dangerous for someone older or less abled. We’d definitely go back!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Cruz, CA

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is excellent. Beds are bit firm for my task. Didn't try pool or hot tub. Staff very friendly and professional. Parking is easy."
