Surf City Inn and Suites
"The pool and hot tub was highly chlorinated. The property can seem a little unsafe. It’s close to the beach but a good walk. Staff was emotionless. I like that there was snacks and the microwave is a major plus. Bed is hard and springy."

Recent Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews By Fellow Wanderers
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
"This, in my humble opinion, is the best place to stay in Santa Cruz. It’s DIRECTLY in the middle of town—it’s easy to get anywhere from the hotel. The property is adorable. The pool is great. The bar is open late and the food is good. The rooms are updated and super cute. Whenever friends come to see our daughter at UCSC, I always recommend it. We love it ."
