Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"The facility had all of the usual amenities plus left a pair of earplugs at every nightstand. The coffee station in the room was well stocked with a variety of items, the kitchenette was clean and useful. The layout of our suite was comfortable. The staff was outstanding. It is definitely an older property, but it is very clean inside each room and we enjoyed our stay. They were gracious in letting us park there for free before we checked into our room, saving us a big parking fee at the boardwalk. I would recommend and return."
