Loved visiting the little shops downtown & finding small restaurants with great food. We found a fantastic cookie/ice cream shop called "Pacific Cookie Company". Everything there was outstanding! Especially the ice cream which is made locally.
Santa Cruz is a laid back place. Best thing was Zachary's restaurant within walking distance from our shoddy hotel. Zachary's has great breakfast choices and friendly waiters. Nice coastal drives in the area, especially hey 1 up to Half Moon Bay.
My favorite place to go in California. So much to do there, wonderful places to eat, great hiking on the UCSC property, and the special joy of taking a drive down Hwy 1 to see some of the most beautiful coastlines and beaches in California. Swantons Berry Farm, and Pescadero's goat farm for amazing cheese along route are must-sees.
Santa Cruz was totally awesome. The boardwalk was fun and exciting to people watch. The restaurant we visited was excellent and reasonable. We came home with a lot of souvenirs and t-shirts for the family and we intend on going back with the family.
I liked that many there are many places near by. For example mystery spot was just a 10 minute drive and so was the Boardwalk. There is a diner walking distance that was quite delicious. I believe it is called Santa Cruz Diner, I might be wrong but the name went something like that.
“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.”
“Great location. More of a 5 star motel then a hotel. Very beachy feel. Very laid back but has all amenities you would expect of a good hotel. Right on the beach with the boardwalk entertainment and shopping area a 5 minute walk away. Very clean and the staff were excellent. Wouldn't really bother looking at other accommodation next time. ”
“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.”
“The indoor pool, rooms are recently remodeled on INSIDE. The outside is a little deceiving but inside was freshly painted and new carpet, beds, etc. The manager is on site and very receptive to concerns. Breakfast is also included. It's also a short walk to the boardwalk and beach. We were a little concerned upon arriving because the area around the Santa Cruz Boardwalk is all a bit sketchy looking but the hotel was clean, comfortable and friendly. We had a nice stay and a nice time.”
