Santa Cruz hotels near Santa Cruz Wharf

Pros: My view was great

Cons: Wish there was coffee in the room along with the reception area.

Pros: Location

Pros: The property was nice, well maintained. Nice decor and sufficient sized rooms.

Cons: The walls were thin, could hear everything going on in next room and outside

Pros: The location is nice.

Cons: The staff  was rude at check in. Plus they charge $15 per night for parking after paying for room at $---. Per night I think it should be included. I have been staying here for years (16) and it has severely declined. The second day no maid service

Pros: Loved the location, it was amazingly close to the boardwalk. Parking was never a problem . The rooms are very clean, beds are comfortable and the staff was nice. Overall stay was great...

Cons: Only con was I requested a room near the pool and by 7:30am there were kids running back and forth by our room. They weren’t swimming as I don’t believe the pool was open yet but they were loud. Not a facility issue but next time I’ll ask to be somewhere else .

Pros: Great beach front view, awesome deck, massive custom shower and close proximity to wharf

Cons: No issues, properly was as advertised

Cons: Coffee in room or even the guest service office would be nice.

Cons: Having only 2 days there..

Pros: The location was awesome rooms were expensive for what I don't get.

Cons: They have no breakfast available but the restaurant down stairs which isn't kid friendly. Food was gross! There was mold above shower head in the bathroom. And a layer of caked on dust on the light fixtures.Rooms are over priced and u have to pay to park.

Pros: They upgraded us to a better room when we arrived and it was great, beautiful views and really big and comfortable room. We are very grateful and happy we stayed here on our way to San Francisco.

Cons: There's no breakfast, but there're nice places to eat really close.

Pros: Great location. Awesome pool area!

Cons: My only complaint is the pillows were terribly uncomfortable. They were very firm and bulky. Probably more of a personal preference.

Pros: Location and kitsch.

Cons: Charging extra for parking when I'm already paying a premium to be at the waterfront feels like a bait & switch.

Pros: Everything was as expected. The bed was really comfortable, the room cozy and clean .

Pros: Very lovely and unique place. Very clean and good breakfast, in the afternoon cheese and wine. Nice and helpful staff.

Cons: Interior renovations urgently needed.

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, beautiful site, comfortable rooms.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The pipe to the shower head blew up as I was showing. A very bad experience. They did give me a new Ron, with a working shower. However, the mattress was old and crooked and you couldn’t cover all the window so I had a lamp lap from the outside when I went to bad at midnight and sun in my room at 7:00. So I didn’t sleep very well

Pros: Here you fall back in time. This is a romantic, rustic, comfortable place. So glad we stayed here. We needed rest and relaxation and that’s what we got. We stayed in the Sisley and Artist room. Both charming. The Sisley has the brook running next to the patio.I enjoyed falling asleep listening to it at night. The artist room is bigger and has a jacuzzi tub on the private patio. The staff was amazingly hospitable. Fresh delicious breakfast was made every morning. Fresh cookies and coffee/tea in lobby throughout the day. Wine, fruit, and cheese platers are served in the evening. We love the history and country ambiance this place has. There is a new owner that is fixing the place up. It needed some TLC. Although beautiful in the winter we would like to come back in the spring. A special thanks to our hostesses Careen and Jodi and the cook! You all made our trip wonderful!

Cons: Like I said- new owners are giving it the TLC it needs.

Pros: Lovely breakfasts, outdoor and lounge facilities- afternoon drinks, beautiful spacious room and buildings, redwood trees, shady and bubbling brook, very peaceful atmosphere.

Cons: Aged bathrooms, musty smell in bedroom and bathroom.

Pros: After spending a few days in a tradional style hotel, it was so nice to stay at a B&B. The boutique atmosphere makes you feel right at home. As soon as we arrived there was a social hour where couples were enjoying wine and cheese and a glass of wine on one of the shaded decks. We checked in and were immediately offered homemade cookies. The staff was very friendly, the room we stayed in had character and was exceptionally clean. My daughter was exhausted from all the traveling and whenever she walked into the bathroom and saw a rubber duck on the edge of the tub, she seemed at peace. I ran her a bath and she played with the duck and went to bed. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night.

Cons: The skylight over the bed lit up the room too early in the morning. They really need to find a way to block out the light. Also, we needed to use the pullout couch, and it was very uncomfortable. Saying that, we would most likely find a different room within the B&B, as we really enjoyed or stay. They did an exceptional job creating a cozy ambiance. It reinforced that we should always book B&B's when traveling.

Pros: Good all round

Cons: Everyone

Pros: Great stay! Very quaint and relaxing. Breakfast was wonderful and cookies were awesome. Staff was helpful and accomodating. Would stay again.

Pros: Well situated and the rooms have charm. Spa bath tub and fireplace.

Cons: Late check in at or after 4pm. They had a problem with their dryer so we could not check in until 5pm. I was never offered a discount but was given an early glass of red wine. The later check in resulted in a change of my plans and unfortunately affected and very much abbreviated a visit with an old friend I haven’t seen in close to 30 years. It would have been nice for them to have prorated my stay by some amount for the time I ended up losing. Then the property had some plumbing issues within the next hour the water was turned off for a while. I was grateful that I managed to shower and get ready to see my friend before that happened as we were not warned that it was going to happen. Then upon returning the seemingly beautiful comfortable bed turned out to be quite old and saggy and luckily we are small enough people we could sleep on it in the sideways direction. If we were unable to do this the only other option would have been to sleep on the floor. For $900 for 3 nights, I felt this was very poor value. Santa Cruz is my home town and I thought other properties would have been risky as many are repainted former run down places, but perhaps a different less expensive accommodation in this town would have been cheaper and more comfortable. Overall this experience was disappointing.

Pros: The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated with lovely classical music playing when we arrived. The bed was very very comfortable and the environment of the whole place was very inviting and relaxing.

Cons: The shower was over the large spa bath and was dangerous to get in and out of. Elderly people would have no chance. Breakfast was poor - no granola in the container , one egg on a muffin completely covered in thick hollandaise sauce and tables with glass tops - not set for breakfast - no tablecloths . Not inviting at all

Pros: nothing!!!!!!!!

Cons: It was not for a handicap person like it said. The room was not easy to get into with my scooter. No one helped us bring in our luggage. The room was full of fleas and I got bit really bad. Plus the room smelled like dogs.

Pros: The location is great. You could walk to the Boardwalk if you wanted to (and your kids want to).

Cons: I have been staying here for years. It’s a cute hotel and close to many places in Santa Cruz. It seems to be going downhill recently though - I think it’s needs some TLC. The furniture is worn - everything is dinged with marks, including the walls (it’s almost like a herd of wild animals ran through the room). The bathrooms could also use some updating. Vanity tops are worn and mirrors have cracks. It’s nothing that can’t be remedied. It would be much cuter and more comfortable if these basic things were attended to. I’ll stay here again. But hope some of these changes are made.

Pros: available

Cons: paper thin walls, TV noise, dogs barking, road resurfacing price point unrealistic, not competitive

Pros: Convenience for what we needed and quiet.

Cons: Needs a little maintenance.

Pros: The room was very clean and presentable! We had problems turning on the television due to a short in the cable; however, we called the front desk and someone came and fixed it within 2 minutes of my call.

Cons: I paid for early check-in for 12pm. The room wasn’t ready until after 12:30pm and no discounts or anything was offered.

Pros: Close to what I needed to go to. Fairly new renovation for price point.

Cons: The pool and jacuzzi were is the parking lot??? Nobody would use them there.

Cons: Stained sheets noisy wouldn't calm the guest down above us got no sleep and literally couldn't use the toilet

Pros: Room and staff

Cons: No

Pros: Decent size room

Cons: Old leaky fridge, paper thin walls that let you hear leaf blowers late into evening and people in neighboring room.

Pros: Nothing really sticks out as best.

Cons: Paper thin walls. You can hear the room next to you talking, using the bathroom, etc. Insufficient parking. I had to park at the Chinese restaurant next door with homeless people digging threw dumpsters all night. Overall a clean room for Santa Cruz.

Pros: Didn't have it

Pros: Clean, comfortable bed, nice staff (manager?).

Cons: A bit pricy, but probably right for the area.

Pros: Very clean compared to other hotels in area and very friendly lady at the front office! Also, they have a small complementary breakfast which is nice if you want a little snack on the go in the morning. Will definitely come back.

Pros: Clean budget hotel, centrally located in downtown Santa Cruz. Even though the hotel is located on a main thoroughfare, my room was surprisingly quiet. The room is not fancy but totally functional. If you just need a place to sleep and shower, it’s a good option.

Cons: The furniture and carpet in the room could use an update. The “breakfast” is a toaster in the lobby with a loaf of bread sitting next to it.

Pros: Friendly staff, easy check-in, great location, very comfortable bed, and great price! This is my go-to motel when visiting Santa Cruz.

Cons: Room is small, but very comfortable. No in-room coffee maker, but coffee in lobby in the morning works well.

Pros: The location is the best thing about this hotel. It's less the a ten minute walk to the boardwalk. It was also very quit at night.

Cons: The room was not cleaned thoroughly. There was stains on the comforter and the sheets under the comforter where dirty. There was also hairs all over the bathroom floor and tub.

Pros: The location, the fridge, TV.

Pros: I liked the location and the notable upgrades that they had made for the property. The front office man was very kind.

Cons: It was pretty dirty. The bathroom had mold above the shower, the bedside lights didn't work- and those were the only lights practically, the stairs were a slipping hazard in the rain, the room was notably not clean as well as spots on pillowcases.

Pros: Location! I stayed overnight to attend a concert and was able to walk to the venue! Also right across the street from the beach!

Cons: The refrigerator was pretty noisy. Woke me up each time it would turn off.
