Top Santa Cruz LGBT Welcoming Hotels

The breakfast is so delicious. My partner and I absolutely love staying here. Whenever we're in Santa Cruz, we always choose to stay here. The hot tub and pool are enjoyable. The valet workers are so friendly, especially Derek.

Breakfast was good, pancake machine was out and not refilled. The rest of the selection was good though. Suite was spacious and comfortable but rooms are noisy. We heard talking and footsteps throughout the day and night.

Rio Vista Suites is a great find in Santa Cruz. Very close to a bike trial, so I was able to get to leave my car there and get to everything I wanted to get to by bike. Neighborhood was pretty quiet and felt safe. I will definitely return.

I recommend asking for room on the parking lot side. Street side quite noisy. I had people next door who were talking loud all night so the staff moved me and upgraded me without me asking for upgrade. It was like 2 different hotels. Quiet and peaceful. Staff was great.

Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.
