Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The place was beautifully decorated. From the front desk, to the bar, to the rooms and grounds. We had a great upstairs room overlooking a lit field and the pool. Fish in the pond. Balconies for everyone. Clean rooms. Sea and Mountain art work. Simple seacliff living.

Chaminade Resort & Spa
Rooms were nice; beds were a little too firm. The pools are nice; there wasn’t a bar open at the pool but they had a service option although it took an hour to be delivered. The hiking paths were a fun thing to do.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
Great hotel to stay if you want to be close to the Boardwalk. Second time staying here and our girls loved it! Breakfast included is always good to have when you travel with kids.

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
This property has been completely transformed into a friendly, clean, and amenity heavy favorite of ours in Santa Cruz when we are traveling with our kids. Heads and tails above most of the other area hotels.
