Hotels in Midtown

Santa Cruz is a city that has a lot going on, but you have your sights set on Midtown. This part of town is perfect for what you want to be doing, and that is everything that is not on everyone’s radar. For all that Midtown has going on, you’ll still need a place to crash, eventually. But you don’t want any old shack, you need something that fits the trip. We have a slew of Midtown hotels that will do the trick.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

As much as you like getting out there, it’s also good to know a part of Santa Cruz so well you’ll be telling the tourists where to go. Make friends with the concierge or be bold and chat up a local. It’s your trip, so choose your own adventure. And when you get in at night, you’ll have a comfy room and plenty of amenities to help you settle in. Call a friend and spin tales from the Midtown underground. What’s a journey without a good story to go with it?
