Top De Anza Beach Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"."

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a very solid place to stay. Comfy beds, clean rooms and clearly they made a real effort to make the best of their hotel. Even though the hotel is on a busy street that doesn’t appear to be in a tight knit neighborhood, it’s actually really close to a lot of cool hip restaurants and central to many destinations. The hot tub is cute but needs some love. The air conditioning unit, which I could manually turn on and off, would cool the room in cycles which didn’t really work well given the comforter was so hot. For two nights the covers were either too hot (when the air conditioner was not active), and just warm enough which I found was disruptive for sleep. Other than someone’s dog barking too early in the morning, rooms were quiet."

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"I paid $507 for what was essentially a standard room with a great view. While the room itself was clean and comfortable, I don't feel it justified the price. The shower had some issues, and aside from the view, there wasn't much that made the room feel like a premium experience. The restaurant was great when I went for dinner, but nothing particularly memorable for breakfast. The service throughout my stay was also just okay, and at times the customer service felt below what I'd expect for a hotel at this price point. The pool looked a little dirty, although the jacuzzi was nice and enjoyable. I loved that it was not chlorine! One of the biggest frustrations during my stay was that I lost my car keys. (Of course, this is my fault and no one else's) But, unfortunately the front desk wasn't very helpful, and I didn't feel like they handled the situation with much urgency or empathy. That said, I do want to give credit where it's due. After my stay, I filled out the guest survey and was contacted by the manager, Dan. He listened to my concerns, treated me with professionalism, and refunded part of my stay. His willingness to make things right significantly improved my overall impression of the hotel. While my initial experience was disappointing, I really appreciated how he handled the situation afterward. He was amazing. Overall, I would consider staying here again, but only if the price were lower than what I paid for this visit. (originally)"
