Top Moore Creek Wetland Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Liked the big queen bedroom with a foto of Capitola covering the wall. Liked the quiet location. Room was very clean and had everything you need. We were not aware that we had to pay $20 extra for parking, but we were lucky to get a free parking spot right in front of the hotel (on the street) with a handicap placard."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely family-friendly and clean/maintained property. The staff was friendly and engaging and there was always someone available to assist with questions and requests. Super close to the beach and boardwalk with an added bonus of having a cute cafe there!"

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay for work would not recommend for families with children lots of unsavory traffic"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel had a very quirky feel about it. From the outside of the building, it looks akin to a nightclub. The rooms were a decent size and tastefully decorated. Starbucks coffee pods were a nice treat. The pool & jacuzzi were first rate. The pool did get overtaken by children screeching and screaming from quite early in the day through til late afternoon, but that’s not a criticism of the hotel. But it would have been nice to have had a swim without the children dive bombing into the pool constantly. Perhaps an adult only swim time before 10am and after 5pm would be welcomed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They were first rate. I enjoyed my stay very much. Recommended."

Ocean Front/Family house Santa Cruz on West Cliff

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful quiet property with a great location to enjoy all things Santa Cruz. The neighborhood is very quiet and just a short walk to the beach, coffee shops, restaurants, and boutique stores.

West Cliff Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean and very spacious. We loved the Keurig and different coffee choices. It was very relaxing sitting in the backyard with a fire pit to warm you in the cool evening. Parking was very ample. It’s located just a few doors down from a most beautiful view of the ocean.Four of us stayed there with our mountain bikes secured in the garage. We plan on returning and booking the same home sometime in the near future.Would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants to enjoy a visit to Santa Cruz."
