The location of the La Quinta was the best. The Santa Cruz Boardwalk (though closed for the season except for the Arcade) is a very short walk away. Having spent our teens surfing STEAMERS LANE in Santa Cruz, it was perfect for us to be near walking distance of the Lighthouse (now the Surfing Museum open Thursday-Monday 12-4 pm) to view the surfing history. We also enjoyed the free Monterey Sanctuary Exploration Center, down the street from the La Quinta. It's free and has something for every age group. The wharf is a short walk away and great coffee (brewed in Santa Cruz) can be had at the Ideal Bar and Grill that is located in a spot before you embark on your wharf walk. The breakfast at La Quinta is your usual fare of breakfasts that you find...but we found granola, bananas, eggs, et al, that satisfied our breakfast needs.

Jose at the front desk was super friendly and made me feel like a VIP as soon as I got there. The hotel is relatively newly built. It's very clean, nice and modern compared to a lot of hotels in Santa Cruz. The pool and gym were nice even though I didn't use them. The breakfast was nice and included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, fresh waffles, yogurt, juice and other items. The location is great. It's walking distance from the beach and the boardwalk entertainment area.

The facility is immaculately clean. Staff is very friendly and extremely accommodating. I only stay here when I come to Santa Cruz. Love their secure gated underground parking lot. It's close to the wharf, the boardwalk, and has easy bus and Uber access. Room has a Keurig coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. Breakfast is free every morning, and the staff keeps it replenished and fully stocked. There is a very large attractive lounge area with a TV, fireplace, tables and comfy chairs. Perfect for relaxing or working. I will never stay anywhere else...

The room was spacious and we loved the mural/full-wall art in it! It was so awesome only being a 3 minute walk to the beach and wharf. The staff was super accommodating, the heated pool was awesome at night, and it was so nice to have a safe, well-pit parking garage where there was enough room to actually both get my car parked and get my belongings out of the trunk! The beds were also super comfy!

Scent was nice, beds were ok, access was easy. On site parking is helpful. Secured property which is good for the location. Breakfast included.

The room was clean and the bed and pillows very comfortable. The full breakfast included is always nice and they had a great selection of items. Walking distance to the boardwalk is a plus as well.

We liked how the hotel was walking distance from the main Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk attraction. It was nice to have a gated garage for our vehicle. The staff was very polite. Finally, we liked the convenience of the free breakfast.

The hotel was super modern and located extremely close to the wharf. Nonetheless, it was calm. The on-site parking was extremely useful in a town with little on-street parking.

Suite with partial ocean view was above expected, the bathroom is very large and roomy. Balcony with ocean view. Double television was a pleasant surprise. I was considering a late check out, and didn't even have to go by the front desk to be accommodated - as they send an inquiry by text the morning of. Enclosed parking provided, peace of mind knowing my vehicle was safe! On site parking does cost extra.* Breakfast is a hot/cold menu of items, is very fresh. A++ on the breakfast, very pleased.
