Top Moore Creek Wetland Nature Preserve Hotel Reviews

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The manager was extremely helpful"

Edgewater Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"From phone calls prior to check-in, to the check out process, everything went out smoothly. Staff were really nice, warm, and accommodating. The room we stayed in had a balcony, simple yet good enough to wake up to ocean view. This place is walking distance to the Boardwalk which I believe is convenient especially on heavy traffic days."

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was amazing! We originally were given a room and upon attempting to turn on the television we realized it was not working. We went to the front desk and a wonderful staff member went up with us to investigate and it turns out it definitely was not working. We were given and different room immediately with a functioning television and the room was gorgeous. Breakfast was delicious and we had a very comfortable stay."

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"This place can be great. The best option is the Premier Studio Suite with a king bed; it is so much space + a kitchenette and sink at a cost hardly above their regular room rate. My last statement however was not the best. As sometimes happens you'll get partying neighbors music creeping through the walls- and in the morning there was absolutely no hot water at 9AM. I haven't used the pool yet but everything looks great there including the central across the parking lot location. Also the air conditioner leaked water with the heater on high last night to drown out.the neighbors music - unfortunately there is no constant fan option. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and downtown are both within close half mile walking distances. Check in they like to have you use a kiosk with a remote assitant but last time Nov 7 the kiosk was gone and I used the front desk. TVs have Netflix built in."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"You can tell by the way the staff interacts with you that they really enjoy their work, Every member we met, like Blossom at check-in to the restaurant staff, treated us delightfully. This was our first time in an Autograph hotel. The furnishings in the lobby were fun, interesting, and made us feel welcomed in Santa Cruz."
