Top Santa Cruz County Hotel Reviews

Surf City Inn and Suites

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good
"The room was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. The check-in/out was smooth and the checkout assistant was courteous and accommodating. The air conditioning worked great. Our experience was that it’s better to shower very early in the morning or around 11am to get warm water. Warm water at peak hours ran-out, but we managed. The outdoor premises were a bit dirty, needing more up-keeping. It was a great value hotel and a comfortable stay overall; I would stay here again."
