Top Three Mile Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"They have all ammunit Ties you can think of down to pet area and smokers.. very comfortable and close to boardwalk coffeeshop park."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous hotel. Spotless Excellent amenities Right by the beach"

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"All was very nice. Valets were so kind and helpful. Only thing I was not happy about was that I had no microwave in my room and the refrigerator was not usable because it never not cold enough to use although set to high. I will stay here again and just make sure I get a frig that works along with a microwave. Enjoyed my stay very much!"

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean, cute, convenient, comfortable beds, flat pillows, and no luggage carts - which made it difficult for us traveling by motorcycle. We paid for a partial ocean view and to be fair you could see the ocean if went out on the balcony and looked real hard :)."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Love this place great location very clean . No weird smell and loved the room being inside the building made us feel safer"

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, CA

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast"

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."

Iconic West Cliff with Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, especially if you’re in town for the half Ironman"

Ocean Front/Family house Santa Cruz on West Cliff
