I stayed at the Quality Inn in Santa Cruz. It's not the nice fancy hotel you would like but was affordable and better then the motel 6. They did have a continental breakfast but seemed like they were a little stingy on what was available. The bed was comfortable and the pillows weren't flat. more

My husband and I took a trip to Santa Cruz without the kids for some us time, and we had a blast, and the room was perfect, we paid under $100.00 (on a weekday) and unless I am spending more than one night, I am not interested in luxury, frills and thrills at the hotel I stay in, just clean... more

We were on our way to Los Angeles and decided to spend a couple of nights in Santa Cruz and chose Quality Inn. This hotel had clean rooms and well equipped with amenities, friendly staff and a good location. The front desk was really helpful with the wi-fi connection. I had a problem with my wireless, so they offered me... more

The room was not entirely clean, or at least the little hairs all over the bathroom made it seem a little sloppy. Plus, the Internet didn't work. Add to that old furniture and soft goods and it was a little disappointing overall. I haven't stayed in any other hotels in SC, but I bet you could find a better value. more

Stayed at the Quality Inn for one night during UCSC Orientation. My daughter and I had only one problem with our stay, there was no hot water from the sink faucet! Luckily, the shower had hot water. The room was clean, the beds comfortable and the TV selection fine. Since it was summer we ran the AC and it worked... more

There are many subpar choices in Santa Cruz. Most hotels are expensive with less than stellar accommodations and below average reviews. Quality Inn is not a huge winner, but it is clean and comfortable. Our room had no odd smells. The room was not damp like others that we have experienced in SC. The bed was very comfortable. The room... more

Usually the courtesy of the front desk staff is not much of an issue for us, but our experiences at this hotel were appalling due to the lack of professionalism of the staff. We'd made a reservation over the telephone with a helpful young man. However, the woman at the front desk was rude, aggressive, and wouldn't honor our reservation... more

My husband and I were checking out UC Santa Cruz and had a hard time finding a reasonably priced room in Santa Cruz. This motel had clean rooms, friendly staff, and a good location. We were also really happy that they were so accommodating about the wi-fi connection, and offered us a cable when our macbook refused to pick up... more

Great clean room, very cozy and excellent front desk staff who exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised the first time we stayed here a year ago so we returned and again great value for your money. more

The room could've used a good cleaning. A bit dirty with stains on bedding. It also smelled musty/smoky and had a very tiny bathroom . Apparently, they get business no matter what kind of customer service is provided because of the decent location. Unfortunately, this has caused the establishment to become cocky. The staff was extremely cold and rude, especially... more
