Top Ox Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean, well appointed and moderately priced."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean,pool and hot tub was nice great location walking distance to pier"

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good time experience"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"Great snacks in room. Room service food was good. The drink at the bar didn't have much alcohol. Some others were obviously upset by the length of time and skill making their drinks. One thing that was annoying was after checkout they don't grant access to pool shower or bathroom. We wanted to rinse off after last day at beach. Also they don't rent out or provide umbrellas for beach. Other than that nice visit."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Room is clean, however, discovered trash still inside from previous tenant. Hotel is nice and centrally located 15 min walk from Santa Cruz boardwalk. Staff super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent. Had noise issues with stomping all day and night but overall a good stay. Thin walls."

Best Western Plus Inn Scotts Valley
