Santa Cruz is a fun beach and college town.
Santa Cruz is a fun beach and college town. The beach and boardwalk offer rides, eateries, arcades and mini golf. The Redwoods are nearby and there are some fun train rides that take you through them. There are some unique activities like "The Mystery Spot." It's a fun place for families.

Only problem we had was the other visitors kids were too...
Only problem we had was the other visitors kids were too noisy, slamming doors and running down the halls until 11:30 pm...parents need to adhere to the rules but that is not the hotel's fault...although it would be helpful to remind guests when checking, that quiet time should start at 9pm...

Spent the weekend in Santa Cruz for the Breakers Cup soccer tournament that both my daughters we're competing in. Turned out to be a beautiful weekend, we went to the boardwalk and out to eat (Upper Crust Pizza is bomb btw)! Need to come back just for fun and not soccer!

You will fall in love w/ this beach town all over again,...
You will fall in love w/ this beach town all over again, or for your first time! DEFINITELY, a lot more attractions, expansion, and updates to the entire little beach town I last saw 20 years ago; that I loved back then as a teen. Modernization & popularity has this place MAXED OUT 24/7 during these tourist mos. You will still enjoy a stroll along the wharf or playing so many more games, rides (for all ages), & plenty of tastey selections for the foodies, on the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Expect $$$ daily (if plan to stay overnight or any activities) & if you have plans to go to The Mystery Spot, BOOK IN ADVANCE!!! Popularity of this place has added a cantina, a much larger gift shop, in addition to many shaded tables for waiting parties... It was more than a 9 HOUR WAIT b4 noon on a Sunday : ( so my nephew from Texas was unable to experience this truly mysterious place 😕. This is a tour that lasted less than 15-20min when I went as a teenager. A mind boggling attraction amongst the MAJESTIC Santa Cruz Redwoods; & something to experience w/ a WHOLE family that can handle many zigzag hillside steps, to "The Spot"!

Santa Cruz is the most relaxing city in California.
Santa Cruz is the most relaxing city in California. The people, both residents and visitors, are friendly and laid back. Even when it's cold, it's great just take your jacket. So, if you want to let go of your every day doldrums go to Santa Cruz.
“Literally across the street from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. We woke up, opened the door and walked to our daily destination for fun, scenery and delicious eats.”
“Great location. Affordable hotel and cheaper than the rest especially since all we did was sleep there. Just a quick easy walk to the warf, the boardwalk and the beach. Friendly and nice”
“We are a family of four and when we checked in, we were upgraded to a 10th floor suite at no additional cost. Hotel is right on the beach and walking distance to the boardwalk, wharf, and path on Cliff Drive (loved watching the surfers by the surfing museum!). Nice heated pool and beach access. Rooms are modern and well appointed.”
“The hotel was located about 10 minutes from the boardwalk which was great. Being further away meant we had a nicer hotel and a cheaper price. The place was well run, clean and the rooms were up-to-date. I would stay here again if I couldn't find anything closer to the beach that was affordable.”
