Hotels near University of California, Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz

Always pick this hotel when I'm staying in Santa Cruz. The staff are friendly and the rooms are spacious and clean. It's a 10 minute walk into downtown for all your shopping and restaurant needs.

Paid parking ($25/night) Nice amenities and neat room! The front desk was kind

We had a really nice time at the resort. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the food and service at the restaurant is excellent. The beds are very comfy and the resort is very quiet. My only critical feedback is that despite some new construction on the rooms, there were no large lights in the closet, we literally had to use our phone flashlights to see anything, the bathrooms are really small and are only equipped with minimal towels, and it’s a bit difficult and awkward to request a room refresh and clean towels.

This is a modest old motel which is perfectly fine for a short stay because the location is EXCELLENT--literally a 3 minute walk to the Santa Cruz Wharf and to cafes and 5 minutes to the Boardwalk. We also loved the free parking as we didn't have to move the car for two days--which was a big point in making our trip so relaxing. Our room also had a great view of the water and palm trees. Yes, the rooms are showing their age, but we also had a microwave and refrigerator and bit TV and lots of hot water. What more could we want! Bonus points for Las Palmas Tacos across the street with great Mexican food for breakfast and lunch.

Great location. Right next to Santa Cruz downtown. The front desk staff was very nice. Free coffee from 6:30am- 11am. Very clean room. Great deal!

Really enjoyed our stay here. Close to almost everything, friendly staff and a great location !

Great location, very close to the sea. Shopping is convenient, and it is a good location with culture and scenery. Looking forward to having the opportunity to stay again in the future. The Chinese food downstairs is good... There are homeless people nearby, so be careful with children

Its location is excellent, just a few minutes walk to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the air conditioner was so noisy, it kept running for the whole night and kept generating unpleasant noise during our sleep. Also, the microwave was not functioning properly, it couldn’t be used after just a few minutes of microwaving food (which we think it failed due to overheating), and we had to wait for more than 10 minutes before it could be used again. We had to move the microwave from the shelf under the TV to another locaton so that it can be cooled down faster.

It was good.the service was great they responded for any questions.

The front desk staff are very proactive, kind, and extremely responsive. Their customer service is outstanding. They went above and beyond to help me enjoy my stay. The hotel amenities are exactly what I was looking for. It’s a nice place to stay with the family because of updated kitchen and cleanliness.
