- From US$137.57 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very good - What previous guests thought, 1,696 reviewsAmazing place literally outside the Boardwalk. Room was spacious and clean with large comfortable beds. Had a little patio balcony overlooking the amusement park too which was nice. Secure place with security gate to get to the room complex. Free parking on site which we were allowed to use after check out while we wondered around the town. Breakfast only had cold selection but still good and convenient for a quick bite before the day.Guest review byKateUnited Kingdom
- From US$105.89 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.1Good - What previous guests thought, 1,109 reviewsLoved this hotel. Ideally located for me between the downtown area and beach. Great burrito/coffee Cafe just over the other side of the road. The pool was nice and refreshing. Very comfortable bed. Nice having a microwave and fridge, etc. I arrived by bus, which was a good walk but doable. There did seem to be local buses going past, so I guess I could have got on one of them.Guest review byAngelinaUnited Kingdom

Although we had passed through Santa Cruz previously, this was our first stay. Candidly, the town felt quite run down and in some places downright shabby. We were staying principally to visit the Roaring Camp Railroad and Scotts Valley, ultimately on our way to San Francisco. If we were staying in the area again, we would stay in the much more attractive town of Capitola, just a few minutes South of Santa Cruz.Guest review byAnthonyUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Capitola offers many good restaurants, and plenty of beaches to visit. We went to the Moss Landing slew one day to watch the numerous birds. We ate at Cafe Cruz, and several other restaurants. We are not exactly a young couple, so we mostly like eating good food, and gazing at the Pacific. The weather was bright and sunny.Guest review bysuzanneUnited States - 6.0

I went to Aptos for one night to attend an anniversary party. I have visited the area several times and never found it very appealing as it is very crowded, traffic can be horrendous, and the public beaches that are easily accessible are not very beautiful. I much prefer Monterey or Half Moon Bay or Northern California area beaches for scenic beauty. The party was held at Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos, however, which is a restaurant I do highly recommend if you go to Aptos, the food was wonderful!Guest review byJodyUnited States - 10.0

You can't beat the property and the hospitality of the owners as well. 5 stars and first class all around. I'd like to book it again, but it's a little too expensive right now during busy season so I'll likely have to waitGuest review bySantolucitoUnited States - 8.0
Ebikes along the ocean was amazing.
Ebikes along the ocean was amazing. Boardwalk had lots of great rides and food options. Beautiful wharf to walk on and visit many shops/restaurants. Don't miss out on Gayle's Bakery or the Mystery Spot that is nearby.Guest review byTammyUnited States - 4.0

Of course, we may have missed what's on offer... Our hotel was on a busy road near shopping malls, boring chain food outlets and petrol stations, next to a noisy facility of some kind which beeps and crashes into action early in the morning. I hope there is more to Capitola, but our part was definitely NOT by the sea. If there is a better side, it's a pity the hotel didn't illustrate or explain this. If you're on business or visiting family - fine. On holiday looking for a stop by the ocean? Forget it.Guest review byKathrynUnited Kingdom - 8.0
Beautiful grounds and beach.
Beautiful grounds and beach. Fresh, clean and well decorated and appointed room. Ocean view is spectacular. We didn’t use them although the resort has 3 pools and several outdoor fire pits. Shore birds galore. Soothing sound of the surf from our patio. Warm fireplace in the room added to its appeal. Kitchen went unused although it is well appointed including glasses, tableware, and utensils. Kitchen table seats four.Guest review byRobert - 10.0

When I was young I lived in San Jose and our mom would bring us to Santa Cruz all summer long. Coming again as an adult brought back so many fond memories. The boardwalk was so different then then. Santa Cruz is such a fun place and so many rides and shops. Every child needs to experience it at least once in their lifetime.Guest review byWanda PapineauUnited States - 8.0
Drab and musty. Needs better decor.
Drab and musty. Needs better decor. Uncomfortable small bed and couches. Excellent location with view of ocean and ocean sights and sounds but overlooking a crappy roof first. No cookware, dishes or utensils in kitchen. Brown fake leather couches, cheap old pictures on the walls of Mediterranean?? Beige paint, dark brown carpet brown tables and more brown. Tiny shower. Spacious.Guest review byRachelUnited States - 10.0
I liked Aptos.
I liked Aptos. There are some good restaurants and the people when I went to town were observing the correct protocol . The Swallow is a great dinner restaurant. When I return I'll be looking for a great place to stay...Guest review byAlida
