Top Mitchell Cove Beach Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great spacious parking"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"!!!"

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic location with a great view of the ocean, pier and boardwalk. We stayed in the tower section that always has a nice view. Staff was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. So much is within walking distance. Downtown, pier, boardwalk, surfing, people watching. My number one place to stay when coming to Santa Cruz."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had amazing family time! Short walk to the beach and many restaurants. Highly recommend!"

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and there seemed to be enough linens. The shower was not good as the water pressure to the shower head was poor because the lever to pull up for the water to go to the shower head was faulty and could not be pulled up enough to provide enough water for a enough water to come up. The drain was stopped up so water was filling up the tub. Also, you could not open the door all the way to get into the toilet so you had to shut the bathroom door completely before you could sit on the toilet."

Seaway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean perfect stay"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my family decided to have a last minute beach visit we had no idea we were going to want to stay the night and once we figured we would I called everywhere (it was 7pm) and only this hotel answered there was always someone to help at the desk and it was fast and easy to book and it was a great price and me and my family would definitely recommend my only complaint would be you can hear the trash people early in the morning but everything else was just what we wanted"

Mitchell's Cove Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Mitchells Cove Beach House was perfect in every way. I liked the large family room where we enjoyed relaxing on the sofa and two comfortable chairs. There is a sliding door with access to the backyard. Easy in and out for the dogs. The kitchen had lots of counter space and was bright and nicely laid out next to the dining area and long table. I especially liked the home's layout. One of the bedrooms has it's own bath. The second bathroom was very nice with a bathtub/shower and long counter. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to a beach. I felt comfortable staying here and would choose this home if I were to come back."

Ocean Front/Family house Santa Cruz on West Cliff

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean. It was on a busy road, but the ocean was visible and overall it was a very pleasant stay! Liz was very responsive."
