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.

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 =)

A small treasure and throw-back to a different era: the Boardwalk on the beach, opened in 1907, with a roller coaster and carousel from near that time frame, the tradition & history of the surfing venue, the old (but renovated) motels along the beachfront, and the labyrinth of mid-century housing, some refreshed, some not, make this a worthwhile visit! There are lovely walks along the pier, where sea lions sun themselves, along the coast, where surfers wait for the perfect wave, and along the trails city streets, festive with many cultures represented.
Comfortable room with two queen beds and a sofa bed. Air conditioning, plenty of power sockets (including USB charge station), and good free wifi. Beds are comfortable. Shower is decent. Standard of cleanliness is very good. Breakfast was nice and the hotel was quiet, despite being on a main street. Lots of parking, which seems reasonably secure.
Within easy walking distance of downtown Santa Cruz. We also walked to the beach and boardwalk, which is a couple of miles from the hotel.
Nice little hotel. Very courteous front desk. Enclosed indoor pool. Super clean room with a modern microwave and a fridge freezer refrigerator. Rooms have two beds in seperate spaces, each with theyre own tv, really cool especially if you have kids. Location is great w I thing easy walking distance to the boardwalk. Beds were comfortable. Even has a golf putting green! Prices were very fair and affordable. Would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Santa Cruz
The location of the hotel is good, but the street closures in town made it difficult to get there. Luckily I know the area and could figure it out. It's logistically in a great spot - close to downtown and easy to get to the beach. The remodeled Victorian style was so charming and the area-specific artwork was a wonderful touch. The bed was VERY comfortable.
What I liked about the property was the value. the hotel is about a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk. This hotel is a lot cheaper than other hotels I stayed at in Santa Cruz. The room was bigger than other hotels in Santa Cruz. The hotel is being remodeled so the rooms look new. The beds were comfortable. The staff was nice.
Attractive, clean, comfortable room. Very nice breakfast bar, in an upstairs area. Well located for access to the campus of UC Santa Cruz, up the hill. Not far from the downtown, easily accessible. On a main street, but we weren't bothered by traffic noise.
Clean, comfortable, basic roadside motel with helpful staff. Location was convenient with restaurants and Starbucks within easy walking distance. Beach was farther away, but you aren’t going to find a hotel on the beach at this price point.
Location, location, location. Can´t beat those sea views from your window! Also loved the hotel vibe, really what we were looking for visiting a surf town as Santa Cruz is. We could walk everywhere and it felt a lot safer than I expected.
Lots of upgrades. Staff very friendly. I had forgotten something in my hotel room and she did not hesitate to get it back to me. This where I will be staying whenever I go to Santa Cruz. Walking distance to Boardwalk and Wharf.
buildings and grounds very welcoming. nice patio on second floor with tables chairs and umbrellas to enjoy. friendly accommodating staff. quiet but located centrally. best hotel I've stayed in Santa Cruz for the price.
This hotel was well located for our visit to Santa Cruz. It was a few short blocks from the Boardwalk and pier. The room was clean, comfortable and cozy with 2 bedrooms. The staff were courteous.
Nice staff in a comfortable and relaxed setting. Although we were a couple of miles from centre of Santa Cruz it was quick and easy to get in and out. Lovely beach 2 minutes walk away.
Its a nice motel.
Fantastic location directly across the road from Santa Cruz boardwalk and amusements..
The room had a balcony, fridge and microwave.
Ample complimentary parking.
The location of the hotel was excellent, within walking distance from the main attractions in Santa Cruz. The hotel was also pet-friendly, which was a huge plus!
The hotel was what I expected for the value, and staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy walking distance to the boardwalk, wharf, and downtown Santa Cruz.
