This hotel was so clean and perfect for our first trip to Santa Cruz. The only thing I’d complain about is that our shower had awful water pressure and was very slippery. We had to lay down towels so our 4 year old wouldn’t get hurt.

Great hotel and staff!
Our family had an amazing two night stay over Thanksgiving week. The hotel and rooms were remarkably clean and very comfortable. It was just two blocks up from Beach Street, making it conveniently located to the Boardwalk and pier without all the noise. The staff could not have been nicer. Mom and Dad appreciated the heated pool and complimentary hot breakfast for the kids. We would happily stay at this La Quinta the next time we are in town.
