The staff was super helpful! They reached out to us before our trip to confirm. My friends and I booked separate rooms and all stayed at this location. The rooms were very cozy and clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We loved the proximity to downtown Santa Cruz and the beach is close as well. Parking was easy and convenient.

Santa Cruz was surf central California long before the Beach Boys sang about it. The Surfing Museum in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse tells stories of those who have braved some of the world’s best waves.
Overlooking the ocean rollers are the Coconut Grove Ballroom and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - the oldest amusement park in the state of CA, and the last original one on the West Coast. Its historic carousel, rollercoasters and rides are a colourful backdrop to Cowell’s Beach, best viewed from the Sky Glider cable cars.
Jutting into Monterey Bay is the wharf where sea lions bask and pelicans decide on their next meal. Seafood restaurants are abundant here and the bars provide lively nightlife. Pacific Avenue is the main shopping area and one street away is the Museum of Art & History.
Unsurprisingly for a surfer hotspot, the city has a liberal outlook and is known for political activism - a far cry from the era when the Santa Cruz Mission was established. The mission is now a state park alongside Natural Bridges Beach and the Big Basin Redwoods in forested hills behind the city, home to the gravity-defying Mystery Spot.
Booking.com’s Santa Cruz accommodation includes pet-friendly motels, hotels with hot tubs and cheap inns near UCSC.

Fun beach town.
Fun beach town. The Victorian architecture of homes was lovely. We visited the high school track to run and that was very nice. We only stayed one night but could have easily made it a 3 day stay. Shopping, seal watching, good food, art, carnival rides, sun and the beach. Wonderful for all ages

I believe the hotel is a nice location to stay, they might consider getting better maintanance, and cleaning help, some one that can speak english, to better help the guest. Jessica, was very polite, and tried to help as much as possible. There were just a lot of little things, they could have been prevented, especially when you pay the high price charged there. When booking, I thought I was booking direct with the property, never knew bookings, com, jumped in to the equasion. So when I asked if they honored AAA, or AARP discounts, they said no because our room was booked by a third party. Also asked for room with 2 queens, was told they were sold out, which forced us to book 2 seperate rooms, after arriveing, found out they had suites for four people. I think this was a money thing, for bookings.com

It was quiet and wasn't too crowded . Beaches and restrooms were clean.wheather wasn't all that warm and it did rain hour or so after we got to the beach pretty heavy we had to leave in a rush. All in all, kids were very happy with trip they can't wait to return for their summer trip.

The location was the best!
The location was the best! The stairs are a lot of work if you have issues. I can't believe the Boardwalk is closed on fridays! If you are planning a friday night adventure at the boardwalk you will need to find something else to do.

Santa Cruz gets sleazy fast (a lot of justly disaffected youth manifesting the consequences of a tattered social fabric & like), but the near-perfect climate year-round, the surrounding (2nd or 3rd growth, but still....) redwoods, challenging cols (lots of category 2s & 1s), vast fields of agriculture (it is delightful to cycle through the fields on what amount to ruelles; these areas are intensely redolent of earth, manure & whatever is being cultivated, plus it makes one appreciate just how back-breaking is the labor that goes into producing one's strawberries & artichokes & like) & vegan eating options (especially the bakeries) make any visit worthwhile, especially if you're from an area that does not have that year-round ideal climate. I recommend cycling up SkyLine or HighLand or Empire Grade or getting out in the fields toward MonteRey. Country roads are nearly uniformly narrow, but traffic is mostly light (minus HighWay 9) & drivers generally courteous (again, minus HighWay 9). Santa Cruz even has the mark of any good location -- a nearby Grocery Outlet -- which, due to its location on the edge of town (it may actually be in Soquel), is easy to integrate into the end of a ride for some yummy and cheap vegan delights =)
The location was great for what me and my 2 kids were in Santa Cruz doing. Could walk to the boardwalk and enjoy the beach. Our room was located right by the pool and we had a bit of pool smell to our room, but wasn't too bad and after getting settled, barely noticed it. Our room was fairly clean and it had everything we needed. Hotel felt safe and quiet and was surprised by that since it is close to a main road. The check in process was smooth and the person assisting when we checked out was very nice. Great customer service
It was old yes, but it was clean and comfortable and LARGE! Our room had a kitchen and a fridge and microwave and plenty of room to roam. Plus it was about a block from the Santa Cruz boardwalk. We needed staying an extra night and loved every minute of it. The front desk staff was wonderfully and friendly and made the stay that much better!
The hotel is just a great location in general and is close to everything fun. We go back to this area at least once a year and I’ll stay here every time.
I travel to Santa Cruz once a month and have stayed at many hotel-moteks. Fireside Inn is definitely the best for the price.
Front desk clerk very professional and courteous. The low mark is a result of the ice and soda machines being broken.
We look forward to returning for our next visit.
The rooms were small but on point. We had a very comfy bed and good a bathroom and shower.
Also the hotel was a walking distance from the Santa Cruz pier and boardwalk which was nice since the place was packed full with visitors.
We also had free parking at the property which was excellent.
Location of this hotel was perfect for our stay in Santa Cruz - just a short walk from the Boardwalk. Great value for money too. The room was comfy and basic and a little dated but was clean and met our requirements. Breakfast was simple but nice for a light bite before heading out.
This cute little boutique hotel is a wonderful little gem. Rooms cozy with fireplace and hot coffee/latte available in the lobby along with lovely banana bread. A short walk to the shops and restaurants downtown. I would definitely stay again.
I always stay at this same hotel whenever I go to Santa Cruz. The water in the swimming pool is always warm and I you can swim until 10pm. They had excellent coffee for breakfast. The room was very nice and clean with a big spacious bathroom.
We liked how the hotel was walking distance from the main Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk attraction. It was nice to have a gated garage for our vehicle. The staff was very polite. Finally, we liked the convenience of the free breakfast.
The room included a kitchenette, which we were not expecting. All was clean and it didn’t have a funky smell, like some places do. Overall I liked the place and plan to stay there again the next time I visit Santa Cruz.
Fantastic breakfast. We enjoyed the afternoon "tea" as well. Very helpful staff. Beautiful room with a tile bathroom and a view of the Santa Cruz Wharf. Short walk to the Boardwalk and Lighthouse.
Great location and just a short walk over the bridge into Santa Cruz. Rooms were very spacious and beds very comfortable. Annan at reception was a great host and extremely helpful.
Amazing location right on the beach. The staff couldn't have been better- you could tell they enjoyed working at the hotel. Very clean and good taste in decoration. 10/10 Stars!!
If you’re coming to see Santa Cruz this is the perfect place. Fresh, clean, safe and fun. Perfect for families or a couple. Staff were friendly and accommodating.
The location was excellent. We traveled to Santa Cruz to go to the boardwalk. It was walking distance from the hotel. Saved money by not paying for parking.
Nice place to stay in Santa Cruz, even better than expected. Beds were comfortable and the room was large enough for us. Free parking inside is a good plus.
The in-room hot tub is the best in Santa Cruz! Even though the hotel is on the busiest street in town, the room was far enough back to not hear traffic.
