After comparing dozens of reviews and prices of hotels in Santa Cruz, this hotel looked like it was our best bet. And it definitely was! The room/bedding/bathroom was all very clean and fresh. The staff were all very nice and helpful, and the complimentary breakfast is fabulous! The only drawback for me were the questionable people outside the hotel. I... More

I stay at Hampton Inns all the time, they're consistently comfortable. The room was fine, and the staff was friendly, although as another reviewer remarked, the water smelled bad. I had a relatively quiet location in the hotel but the traffic noise was unbelievable, had to sleep with earplugs and pillows over my ears, and still noisy. This hotel was... More

As soon as we arrived I was a little surprised by the location, right by the highway, with lots of homeless looking people wandering around. The desk guy the night we arrived was super nice and friendly. When we got to the rooms I was pretty unimpressed, just average but it didn't seem dirty or anything, just nothing special. Then...

I was traveling on business and realized wireless wasn't fast enough for the files I needed to upload. They came to the rescue with some cables, sparing me a trip to Staples. Pool was small, but clean, heated and well-maintained. I absolutely intend to stay here again.

Overall, a nice hotel. The rooms are typical Hampton Inn quality- clean and very spacious. Staff is great! Avoid teh bottom floor. The window faces the street and I had people "hangin out" on the side walk a few feet away until alomost midnight! I finally opened the window and asked them to move the party elsewhere.

A very clean and well-maintained hotel. It is close to the freeway, but not close to the Boardwalk. Very nice, small indoor that was kept a bit too warm for our taste. Fairly typical complimentary breakfast with some extra features like eggs, sausage and build-your-own waffles.

We stayed at this Hampton Inn for three days during spring break. The hotel service was excellent. The hotel was extremely clean and quiet. The rooms that were well maintained. The only non-positive experience we had concerned seating in the morning food service area. It appears to be designed around servicing single and two party guests vice families with three... More

This Hampton Inn is in a very good location for enjoying downtown Santa Cruz, the Cliff Drive, the Redwoods (Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park), or the university. The beds were comfortable; the room was clean and comfortable; the staff friendly; and the rates were good. However there were several items that combined to make this stay less pleasant than most...

I travel for a living, and have stayed all over the US. I have had bullets shot through my car overnight, and this is still my worst experience yet. Stayed here twice, and finally wised up this time. The parking lot is maybe 25 cars for 50 rooms, and 15 of them are compact cars in Hippie-Central Cali. Oh, and... More
