Having visited Santa Cruz from Australia a numerous times since 1987, latest being April 07, I have been most happy with the value of the Quality Inn. It's not near the Boardwalk, but downtown is a 10 minute walk, and the Santa Cruz Diner 100 metres. If your expecting the Hilton forget it, but this motel is relatively cheap and... more

This is our second one-night stay in two years. Great spot to freshen up, sleep, grab a simple breakfast, and head out to the Boardwalk (or wherever). Nice people at the front desk, free continental breakfast (new small breakfast room off the lobby), handy free parking, simple and comfortable rooms. We paid $118 including tax, and that is a very... more

I stayed here with my son as we visted UC Santa Cruz. We were set to stay for three days as we toured different colleges in the area. We stayed one night and left. The hotel rooms open to the parking lot that is noisy. We had half the hotel in the parking lot drinking all night. Not college kids,... more

Rooms in Santa Cruz can be very pricey. Through the hotels web site I was able to get a rate under $80.00. My room was on the bottom floor at the rear and was very quite. The only problem I had was with the free WiFi, for some reason it would not allow my Mac Book to connect. The room... more

Earlier this year I embarked on a mini-roadtrip from LA to Seattle. I used to live in Santa Cruz, and it was a convenient place to stop for the night. Quality Inn is right off the 1 (or 17 if you're coming from the North) on Ocean Street, which made it easy to find after a day of driving. The... more

Bad news...soon after checking in, we started itching. Turns out that within 2 months of our 1 night stay, our home also developed bed bugs...the quality inn was the only place we stayed in the past 2 years. The bathroom lacked ventilation and there were numerous examples of chipped paint throughout and water stains on the wood door frames. In... more

I made a quick trip from LA to Santa Cruz to visit & deliver gifts to my newborn nephew and his family. I only needed to book one night and this hotel had a low rate and the reviews I read here seemed good. I wasn't dissapointed. The customer service at the front desk was friendly upon arrival and check... more

Decent stay. The room was clean but further from the boardwalk and beach than I thought The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hotel itself is rather dated and the breakfast is fairly scarce more

I was searching for a decent priced hotel and reading lots of reviews...so many in Santa Cruz are scary...this motel checked out good and it was. We arrived late and the gentleman at the desk was very kind. The room was modest and in need of some work, but VERY clean. The beds were extremely comfy. The bedding was very... more

The motel is far from glamourous, but then again what is in Santa Cruz? The room was clean, well maintained, comfortable, spacious. The grounds are a little drab but that didn't really matter. Location is pretty close to the downtown walking area. Overall, a positive experience. more
