La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

Close proximity to the beach, exploration center, and boardwalk. Beds were comfy and rooms were nice. Having a refrigerator, microwave and Kerig in the room were so convenient. The younger employees that checked us in were so kind and accommodating. They were great, they called us when our room was ready early and really made us feel welcome. Breakfast was awesome. So many options to choose from and filling for a long fun day. The staff at breakfast was quick to replace things that ran out and kept the breakfast area clean and tidy.

Ended up getting upgraded to a double room with a sofa bed and balcony with a distant view of the water, which was awesome. Hotel was brand new and super clean (and I’m picky when it comes to hotels), staff was great and friendly, continental breakfast was excellent, with tons of variety (cereal, bagels, belgian waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, fruit, coffee, etc). Parking was convenient and felt secure, although cost extra. Great location, a few minutes walk from the wharf, boardwalk and beach.

Room was clean and large, modern. Location was amazing. Front desk staff was wonderful.

The breakfast was delicious, I was happy that it wasn't pre-packaged sandwiches. Coffee was delicious. Staff had everything ready. I loved that a light was on for my late arrival so that I could see and not stumble around for a light switch upon entering my room. I loved what seemed like weighted blanket I slept comfortably! I loved the fact that parking was secure -- no worries about my vehicle.

It was great to stay walking distance to the Boardwalk and a short driving distance to downtown. My kids loved the modern design. The beds were comfortable and the shower was fantastic. According to my step-daughter, the eggs at breakfast were amazing.
