Carousel Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"No windows Need a window."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately, when we first checked in, we found bedbugs in the bed while doing our usual bed check. We immediately notified the front desk and showed them photos. The staff was very concerned, took the situation seriously, and quickly moved us to a different room far away from the original one. Our new room was very clean, and we had no further issues during our stay. The hotel was extremely accommodating and waived our parking fees and provided us with breakfast, which we really appreciated. Despite the rough start, everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful. We also had great service at the hotel bar and restaurant. The hot tub was unfortunately out of service and being repaired during our stay, so we weren’t able to use it. However, the pool was amazing and heated, which we really enjoyed! Finding bedbugs was obviously concerning, but I really appreciated how seriously and professionally the staff handled the situation. Their customer service made a big difference in our overall experience."

Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night and I wish we could have stayed for a week! Beautiful property. Amazing staff. Front desk was so kind and on point. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in. Room was huge and well laid out. LOVED the patio. View onto beautiful trees and trails. It was very quiet while we were there. I will absolutely be back."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay. Great and friendly staff. Valet was super welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The treadmills weren’t working. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel. The location was in close proximity to the beach and downtown which was perfect. Overall it was amazing and would definitely book again."

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Traveled with family for moms birthday and such a beautiful property, really like that they have a full service restaurant and bar so don’t have to leave to go else where. It was great weather so nice that they had pool and hot tub.. each room has a nice view with garden string lights at night. The koi pond surrounding the bridge was an added bonus for the kids and adults. Safeway and gas station are in walking distance and beach is not too far.. would definitely stay again in future❤️"
