Top Natural Bridges State Park Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is clean, staff is very friendly and helpful, not too far of a walk to the boardwalk and downtown!"

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed for 2 nights. The view was amazing. There were lots of restaurants in walking distance. We really enjoyed our stay"

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a bit over cast but it was good and clean beds was comfy"

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the road noise was very loud. Check in was kind of annoying in that my vehicle license plate number was required to get a parking pass so that meant walking out once to get my plate number then a second time to put the pass in my car. The breakfast was ok too but cold cereal and yogurts would have been a nice addition."

West Cliff Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house felt like a home and we had plenty of room. The location was AMAZING! My sisters in law and I did the Santa Cruz 70.3IM and it was perfect viewing for my niece and nephew to cheer us on since we went by several times just steps from the house. It was so close to the start/finish as well. As I mentioned the house felt like a home and there were plenty of games for the littles in our family and they really enjoyed the “vintage” TV in the bedroom. It was also great being able to walk those few steps to see all the wildlife visible from the viewpoints near the house. If we do this race again or simply visit Santa Cruz we would love to stay there again. Thank you for everything."
