We arrived at the hotel after a day of driving our new college student up to the university and moving her into the dorm. We arrived late and exhausted. The desk clerk was apparently new. He told us our room was upstairs. After carrying our bags upstairs and looking around, we finally found the room, downstairs and in the back.... More

Big room, huge bed, free wifi, parking near the room, large breakfast and a free USA TODAY in the morning. Relatively inexpensive. A great find that I'll be returning to on my next Santa Cruz visits. More

We decided to extend our vacation at the last minute to go to the beach. We decided on Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and started looking for a hotel. Of course being peak season, everything was expensive. Not wanting to take our chances with Priceline, I decided to book something that got decent reviews on Trip Advisor. I found this hotel... More

With Best Western, you expect a certain standard: at least the basics with everything functioning properly. This VERY small hotel doesn't quite measure up. The rooms are old, although clean. My room was back in a corner, down a dark outside corridor. I made sure my door was bolted with the night lock on whenever I was in the room.... More

We stayed one night, nice clean room, quiet, everything you would want to have in a reasonably priced motel !! Richard, the night clerk recommended a great restaurant, Shogun, just a few minutes away and great food with great friendly staff. Morning staff was very friendly and helpful. More

The location is great because it's right near Hwy 17 and Hwy 1. Since there's really no close place to stay near Moe's Alley, this is not a bad location - the cab... More

We stayed here one night in July while we were in town for the annual Wharf to Wharf. Mind you this is a huge event, and this Best Western was actually on the lower end of the spectrum for nightly rates. That was the main reason we picked it, and it was a bit nicer than some of the seedier... More

Found this hotel late one night passing through, was more then we usually try to spend, but wanted somewhere nice that night. The room was clean, cable TV, free wi-fi (need different pass-code for each device you'll connect). The morning breakfast was well stocked and good variety. More

Stayed Valentine's weekend so Sat and Sun night. Room was quite clean except for a rogue m&m and a few cracker crumbs between furniture..otherwise very nice/fresh. Beds were good. Service was good. Friendly and accomodating staff. Breakfast was good. Had our bikes w/us so the beach was 5 minutes away for us. We were glad to be off the 'beaten... More
