Fairfield Inn & Suites Santa Cruz - Capitola

4.0 Capitola by the sea

Staff was great!! Bed was hard as a rock, signal on TV had lines, and our room phone kept peeping. Other than that, the full breakfast was excellent!

Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

5.0 ...And Breakfast Too!

The room was quite large with good lighting, which is important to me because I'm a reader. It was close to the parking area, and the grounds had lots of trees. The rooms were scattered among three buildings, all painted a cheerful light yellow. The bed was comfortable, and extra pillows were provided for propping up to read in bed. A full breakfast was available, with many different options. The food was good, including a Belgian waffle.There was a small patio outside the room, though I didn't use it because it was winter and it was too cold. The desk attendant provided me cheerfully with the fork, knife and plate I requested Christmas night when I brought back a piece of cake from my dinner with friends, and he threw in a napkin as well.

Rio Sands Hotel

4.0 Great place at an affordable rate!

My husband and I had such a great time staying here. We had a room that had a balcony with a partial beach view and really enjoyed the serenity. The room was clean and comfortable. The beach is walking distance where there are also a market and a few restaurants to choose from. The beach walking trail to the cement ship is right there. We didn't go in the ocean, but we did swim in the pool and liked that there was little obstruction so we were able to get sun by the pool until the sun went down. Quiet and relaxing, exactly what we needed. Great coffee and friendly staff, too! Only drawback would be the thin walls. We were able to hear our neighbor debating and later we could faintly hear snoring. Nothing too loud, but noteworthy. In addition, we appreciate the ADA bathroom that had the sit down shower chair type setup, but because it was part of the shower, I couldn't get far back enough to clean the lower part of my body. It can't be prevented unless they did a complete bathroom remodel, which I'm sure would raise the rates...which in my opinion, is the most affordable quality hotel in the Santa Cruz area. So the pluses outweigh the minuses.

Chaminade Resort & Spa

4.0 Relaxing Eucalyptus Grove Retreat

Well kept resort in retreat like setting. Nice amenities included such as fitness room, hot tub, tennis courts, sand volleyball, hiking trails. Good for nature lovers, saw deer outside sliding glass door of our room. Away from congestion of Santa Cruz tourism. Easy drive to other points of interest, Monterey, Gilroy, etc. Mini-fridge in room however no microwave. Bottom unit a bit louder from upper unit foot traffic. Would try 2nd floor unit next time.
