Decent place in Santa Cruz

We were upgraded to a larger room which was great. The room was clean and comfortable, although the carpet was a bit worn. Breakfast could have had more options.

The location is great. Walkable to the beach, wharf and boardwalk. Breakfast is good. The pool was very disappointing, extremely small and only 3ft deep.6 children inside the pool was already to many people.parking garage very tight, if you have a big vehicle good luck. We had a an F250 and very very tight. Family hotel, if you have floors above you be ready to hear kids running and dropping things above. A non smoking property.

I didn’t like having to pay $25 for parking. I also didn’t like listening to people walking on the floor above me late at night. The breakfast was ok, staff were ok. Overall disappointed by my stay at La Quinta. I’m usually a big fan.

Everything was good but a strange experience with people. A young girl jumped the fence and barged into our room only to embarrass herself “oops wrong room” 😆Someone overhead was quite loud doing a lot of jumping until about 12:30. We told the staff the next day and they gave us the parking for free which is 25$ so we are ok. Next time I would stay on the top floor😀

Comfort by the boardwalk

Good location near the beach and boardwalk. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Daily parking charge seemed a bit high, but maybe commensurate with being located near the beach and boardwalk - though I had assumed that was in the daily rate. Overall, quite pleased with my stay.

It's ok...pros and cons

It's....fine. It's a new, beautiful building. So that's wonderful. And the staff is really nice. But get used to small things. VERY small pool. And the smallest/tightest parking spaces I've ever seen. It's a challenged to find a spot in the garage...especially when people park over the lines. The rooms along the back of the property have a view of a wall...so that was a huge disappointment. We asked to change and they didn't have anything available. So when you book, ask for a room at the FRONT of the property. But also keep in mind that 4 rooms on the first floor facing the front are essentially connected to the pool. The free breakfast is convenient...especially for families with kids. But the food is tough to eat...typical of hotel breakfasts like this. Stick with the toast, cereal and waffles and you'll be fine. It's incredibly convenient to the beach and boardwalk. Would I stay here again? Yes...but only if it's a 2nd floor front-facing room. And I rent a Smartcar so I am guaranteed a parking space.
