Terrible
I couldn’t connect to the internet to work. Wine advertised wasn’t in stock so had to buy a more expensive bottle. Fridge sound kept me up all night. Motion sensor light for room and bedside kept going off on its own. A/c turned off on it’s on throughout night before ever reaching desired temp. Food stain in elevator. $25 parking fee not advertised on Hotels.com Called front desk in am to report. Said manager would call me today. No call received.

Nice clean room with lots of space. Beds were comfy enough. Hotel offers late check out. I went down the night before to request late checkout. Was told to call in the morning before 9am or request on the app. I used the app later that night. Then called before 9am to confirm. Was told I called too late and should have called earlier. Although, I had tried the night before. Would still stay again.

Great stay and overall great experience! Property and rooms super clean and in excellent shape. Very convenient location close to beach and oceanfront attractions. Only areas for improvement are fairly limited breakfast selection and a high daily parking fee charged by the hotel from guests.

Stain on carpet, bathroom smelled not clean, room was ok but small and basic. Overall cleanliness was just ok. Parking is 30 dollars just to park in the hotel garage! Definitely not worth 600 for a one night stay on the weekend. Do not think I will revisit.

Stay Not Recommended
During check-in a father passing bye the front desk told the clerk that his son threw up in the swimming pool. The swimming pool was closed for about two hours for treatment. However, my daughter was so disgusted & had no desire to swim in pool even after the pool was cleaned. I requested a top floor room prior to arrival and received ground floor with kids running around for 2 hours at night and 2 hours in the morning in the room above us which made our stay less than peaceful. The room’s patio door was found to be unlocked. The parking garage has narrow parking spaces and the hotel charges $25 a night for guests to potentially have their car dinged by a careless driver or children. On the first morning we were woken up by a fire alarm going off at 6:20AM, with no explanation from staff; guests were not evacuated and fire department did not respond. A plus was the location, the hotel is in walking distance to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. My daughter enjoyed the breakfast that is provided from 6AM to 9AM. A large SUV parked so close to driver’s door of my car that I had to cross over the passenger’s seat to access driver’s seat. Anytime you ask to speak to a manager the front desk staff said the manager is not available. I requested to move rooms and was told only a manager can change the rooms, however, at checkout I was told that I could have just requested a room change. SMH. The front desk clerk did refund my two nights parking fee. We will not be returning to this hotel.

Better than an airbnb
We had a fabulous time for our last trip of summer break. We had an awful situation with an airbnb which made us scramble to look for lodging that didn't break the bank. l found La Quinta and it was a total blessing. Everything about it was superior to the airbnb we left. The location, the quality and condition of the hotel, the morning breakfast, the common area to hang out, the pool and the rooms. We were so grateful they had availability. I will definitely stay here again when we return to Santa Cruz. Perfect place for families with kids and teens.

Quick & fun family getaway!!
We had a great family trip. This hotel was clean, breakfast included was decent, check in & check out was quick & easy. Walking distance from hotel to Pier was great. Our kids didn't mind the walk to the Boardwalk & Beach. We didn't get a chance to play in the pool. Although we had to pay for parking, having our car in underground garage was easily accessible & because we were so close to everything, we didnt need to drive anywhere. I would definitely stay here again.

We did not have a car during our trip and this hotel was so convenient to the pier and the boardwalk, we never felt like we needed a car. The hotel was clean and comfortable and we loved that breakfast was included. Ice water and coffee were always available. My son used the pool a few times so that was nice amenity. We also enjoyed takeout on the beautiful patio above the pool. Would definitely stay here again.
