Top Ox Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Four Points by Sheraton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the room"

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Ann was very helpful. I always have a great experience with the front desk. Everything was perfect. Going back in a few months."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are beautiful! Staff super attentive, food was excellent! Location can't be beat! Can't wait to return!"

Comfort Inn Santa Cruz North

10/10 Excellent

"The location worked well for the activities that I planned. The breakfast was suitable for my needs. The staff very helpful. The room was spacious. The hotel is has two stories and no elevator. Fortunately they sent a message to make me aware of this and I got a needed first floor room."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was very comfortable and an excellent location right in the middle of santa cruz"

Best Western Plus Inn Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good without any complications excellent service as much as the staff and the room cleaning."

Redwood Home - view of the river!

10/10 Excellent

"This place was immaculate. I really appreciated that. It's a little small for more than a couple of people, but since there's so much to do out-and-about, that probably isn't a problem. It was great for my sister and myself. The kitchen is very well equipped, with modern and well-running appliances, including an excellent washer and drier. Everything works great and is in great condition.The turn out of Brackney onto Highway 9 is a bit tight, so we just went north for a quarter mile and U turned to head south when going down toward Felton and Santa Cruz. The property location is great, right on the San Lorenzo. Only that turn on Highway 9 was a location problem, and that's surmountable (thus the 4 stars on 'location')."

Fern River Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Fern River Resort was such a special getaway. We were surrounded by breathtaking redwood trees, a very clean river on the property and wonderful staff. Check in was a breeze and instructions were super clear on how to get to our cabin. Our cabin #2 was extremely clean and very cozy, the bedding was plush and pink! I loved that we had the option to cook there. At the property, Lisa was able to also accommodate an extension on our last day there thankfully because we weren't ready to leave yet, she was profesional and very kind. We will definitely be coming back and will be recommending this special place in the woods to friends and family."
