First of all, this room was NOT "$60" as stated in earlier reviews. It was $150. The two chairs by the entryway were each stained with unknown substances in numerous locations. A broken spring was jutting out of the bottom of one chair. A large piece of wooden furniture along the wall (a TV stand and chest of drawers) had... More

When you hear the name Ramada, it sounds like a nice place to stay, right? Well not this time... the room smelled like a hospital room and the head board had "head stains" yuk! My husband and I itched all night and I mentioned it to the manager and he got very upset and started to raise his voice at... More

I came with my teenage daughter and her friend for an overnight stay before a sporting event, and assumed that the Ramada name meant we could assume a certain standard. On the positive side, the room was generally clean and had a modern shower which worked nicely. They had a good morning breakfast that was appropriate for that level of... More

The Ramada Limited is a great place to stay in Santa Cruz if you're looking for a clean, accommodating, friendly place to stay that won't break the bank. If you're expecting a better breakfast, or fancier anything for around 60 dollars, good luck. I've stayed here once, and I will most definitely stay here again... great people, clean place, quiet.

We chose this spot at random. There are a lot of sketchy places to stay in Santa Cruz, and the Ramada managed to keep the riffraff out. It was pretty quiet too. The staff was quite friendly and cool for matching the deal we found on hotels.com. As far as the rooms go? They are your average, worn rooms with... More

We only stayed one night but it was a good experience. The pool looked clean and inviting, as did the room. We had a 2-queen bedroom and it looked and smelled clean. The beds were comfy and the bathroom seemed to be in newer condition than the building initially appeared. The best part of the property is the pool and... More

My wife stayed at the Ramada last month and found it to be convenient and good value. So we booked to stay there together on a few weeks later, Christmas week. This time the reception was not so courteous, perhaps the staff have changed or the manager himself was away for Christmas. The room was good and the linen/towels were... More

I have stayed at the Ramada Limited on Water Street in Santa Cruz over half a dozen times since finding it about a year ago. I visit Santa Cruz about once every five or six weeks, usually for a week or more. This is the only place I stay. The prices are really good, especially during the winter and weekdays.... More
