Top Ox Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Not exactly seaside at all, but I would say a step up from the average motel, room key required to access hallway with your rooms so a little extra safety and friendly staff. Bcycle station right down the road to bike around!"

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Courteous, friendly, helpful staff from parking valet to front desk reception. Conveniently situated location. Room was clean, comfortable, well-appointed. Excellent, hearty, substantial complimentary breakfast."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Quiet room on back side of building with great beds! There is not much room to store luggage though, and could use a love seat or something for more seating. Also the tub floor was 8" taller than the bathroom floor so getting out of the shower or bath is a fall risk - there were no hand rails to grab on to1"

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in was remarkably simple!"

'Treehouse' in the Redwoods - sleeps 4!

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best experiences with a vacation rental we had in many years. The location is amazing: 5 min from one of the best redwood state parks, and very close from two other parks and the ocean. The surrounding small towns are little gems literally hidden under the canopy of redwoods. The house was very comfortable, had a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and well-designed interior. It was so quiet, peaceful, and the air was amazing. The communication with the host was super-fast. We had a minor problem with the shower not draining properly, and hosts responded immediately, and"

Four Points by Sheraton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley

8/10 Good

"Overall, we had a great stay at the hotel. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We had a quick and easy check-in. Facility is a great venue for socializing and enjoying the outdoor patio and fireplace with live entertainment. The food is decent. We also enjoyed the coffee and tea bar. The only negative was a few issues with the facility maintenance, including lukewarm or no hot water, hard to turn sink faucet and loud banging door to our room and broken curtain slide."
