Hotels near Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds

"My wife and I stayed at Seascape Beach Resort for my birthday and had an amazing time. The beach is stunning, the staff are fantastic, and the whole place has a fun, family‑friendly vibe—lots of kids enjoying the pools and grounds. Our one‑bedroom ocean‑view suite was perfect, complete with a full kitchen stocked with utensils, cookware, a fridge, and a dishwasher. Being able to text the front desk for anything—even a pickup from the beach—made everything effortless. Special shout‑out to Kelsey, Cory, and Laura from the restaurant team—they were incredible. With multiple pools and a great location near Santa Cruz, Aptos, and Capitola, this resort is absolutely worth checking out. We’d happily come back."

"Great, curtious staff "

"I’ve stayed here before (August) which was nice but the floors were filthy! Went again (October) and everything was clean. Thank you, we’ll be back soon."

"Numerous restaurants in walking distance. Shops in short driving distance. Convenient location to access the highway and a good midway point between Santa Cruz and Monterey. The staff is always friendly and have good restaurant suggestions."

"This simple cottage was very clean and comfortable (and accessible for our senior family member!) The views were lovely and it was great to sleep to the sounds of the waves at night."
