Top Strawberry Beach Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Santa Cruz by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Water from the pool is was cold"

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Free parking was always available onsite within 30 feet of the room. Each room is equipped with it's own digital HVAC unit. Therefore, we were able to set the digital temperature appropriate for the time of day. When thr sun was up, we would use the air conditioner. However, when the sun would go down, the beach area would get cold, so at bedtime we would set the thermometer to heat the room It was very easy to keep the temp in our room perfect for us."

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"I've frequent this establishment several times and absolutely love it. The view from the rooms are amazing. It is conveniently located near restarants and stores/shops. It's beach access is lovely. You can go out on the beach, people watch, or enjoy room service/drinks from your balcony which beats any view at any restaurant on the boardwalk (provided you have an ocean view room). The only downside is that my room this time had an annoyingly loud leaky shower and a very noisy aircondition unit."
