Top Three Mile Beach Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Improvement can be done to the shower head but everything else was great"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a bit over cast but it was good and clean beds was comfy"

Hotel Solares

8/10 Good

"Room is clean"

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the road noise was very loud. Check in was kind of annoying in that my vehicle license plate number was required to get a parking pass so that meant walking out once to get my plate number then a second time to put the pass in my car. The breakfast was ok too but cold cereal and yogurts would have been a nice addition."

Seaway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great. I wish they would clean up the lobby. They use it as a storage space. Extra chairs, refrigerators, lamp shades, and the tv is never on. Can’t sit there and relax. Three days I went there in morning there was no coffee made or hot water for tea. Looks like counter space for snacks but it is cluttered. I love this little hotel but the lobby space has never been finished. 😞"

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here every time I go to Santa Cruz. It's close to the boardwalk and it's very well maintained"
