The family suite we stayed in (3 queen beds in two rooms + kitchenette) wasn’t anything extravagant but everything was clean and functional and the pricing was great. Check in was easy, parking was available, room and bathroom look to have been renovated fairly recently. Really no complaints at all. ...

Yes. I felt safe. But my windows were nailed shut. Missing a light bulb on the desk. Floors without rugs need to be mopped.

The photos on their website are probably 10 years old. There’s no pool! Don’t be fooled. Property unkept and bathrooms were gross and smelled of mildew.

This place has been recently refinished but it is still really run down. The road is super noisy and the key cards don’t work so you have to go to the office every time. There is also some sort of outreach program that is going on with a lot of homeless people or recovery people staying here. Two ...

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
3 out of 5
Posted 3 hours ago
Travelocity Verified Review
"This hotel has a great location to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. It is a beautiful new building, clean, secured parking garage, decent breakfast, and spacious rooms. Unfortunately we encountered a few problems during our stay which was disappointing given the price for our room. We reserved a 2 queen + sofa bed for our family of four. The beds did not seem like queen size beds, more like doubles. The sofa bed was broken - one section wouldn't lock in place, so there was a valley then the end angled upwards. Blankets and linens for the sofa bed were not in the room. We tried calling the front desk @ 10pm but no one answered the phone. I went down to the lobby, and a sign at the desk said the employee was on a 15 minute break. When he returned, he gave me and another guest (with the same issue) the requested linens. The outlets on the nightstand didn't work for my husband's CPAP machine. Again, disappointing hassles for an expensive night's stay."
