Santa Cruz Fern Grotto Beach Hotels

"The front desk was so nice, upgraded our room. Room was ocean view, clean and beds were comfortable. Great experience. "

"This is a great spot, very close to the pier, and the price is fantastic. It has a pool and hot tub, and the rooms are nice.L"

"The guy at the front desk is very helpful, he was really nice. Room was ok, but it’s clean."

"Rooms are a bit dated, but excellent location and views. Bed was very comfortable. Jack O’Niels has excellent breakfast!!"

"Hotel was clean, smell was good, room was comfortable and the breakfast was AMAZING. John gave us a warm welcome and shared some local tips."

"Nice clean spacious room and comfy beds. Plenty of towels. Staff very friendly. Breakfast included with plenty of options. Only negative limited underground parking, tight spaces and $25. Walking distance to wharf and boardwalk"

"The price matches the quality. I liked that the window opens, but the housekeepers are very noisy—especially in the mornings, every day."

"Location was awesome and rooms were clean. However, we only had very luke warm water."

"Parking fee!! Be aware! Expedia informed me this would be a $376 stay and I was skeptical when others were saying there is a parking fee they charge and inform you about (they should include this! Being informed of the parking fee upon arrival is ridiculous) When we arrived to the hotel, the front desk personnel informed us there is a usual parking fee but this time around it’s complementary. After our stay, we still weren’t told what the price of the parking fee was. Come to find out it was $28/ per night!! We paid a total of $84 for parking! We definitely won’t be returning to this hotel or any Marriot partners. Price gouging at its finest!"
