La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
It was a lovely property and I really enjoyed my room. I did think that more than doubling the price for Friday night stay was ridiculous. Breakfast was decent but very crowded in a small space. It was nice to have a dining area, but that was also very chilly.

Marea Sol Hotel
Room was overlooking beachfront. Request higher up room if you want a view. Ours was on ground floor and restricted view of parked cars. Nice room and recently completely renovated.
