Top hotels in Nobel
Dream Inn Santa Cruz
We were allowed to check in early since our room was ready. The staff were very considerate. Kids enjoyed the stream near the shore. There were a lot of shower areas where you could wash your feet before you go back to your room. The location was perfect, walking distance to the braodway.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
Staff was friendly. Breakfast only goes until nine. Underground parking lot, more difficult for larger vehicles. And the beds were a little to hard for us.
