"Despite claims of a recent remodel, the bed was tough and felt like an outdated box-spring. We were stuck next to a loud ice machine that cycled on and off all night; the hotel was full so they couldn’t move us. Walls had unexplained stains running down them, and the bathroom had about five flies we had to swat. There was a mini fridge and microwave; however, there was a coffee maker— no cups, coffee, or tea. No ice bucket or bags either, and the lobby didn’t even have a fork. This was a real...

Top Scandinavian Cultural Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"El hotel es comodo y limpio, muy importante, pero los alrededores del hotel no son tan buenos, muchos homeless, drogandose a plena luz del dia y en el estacionamiento. La piscina no esta climatizada y para los niños se necesita. Algo adicional es que la persona que se encarga de colocar las cosas del desayuno no muestra cortesia, no saluda y parece que todo el tiempo anda enojada. Las demas personas son muy amables, los recepcionistas son gentiles."

Chaminade Resort & Spa

"Clean room. A bit small but that’s ok. Attentive staff easy check in and out. Only issue was A/C did not work. Room was at 73-75 during our stay"

National 9 Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"This property is a great place to crash near Santa Cruz for a reasonable price. It's well located, has onsite parking, and was clean and the owners/managers were helpful when I needed to change my stay. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and had a microwave, coffee maker and mini-fridge included. The only downside was that housekeeping didn't do a full clean/maintenance for one of my days, I couldn't connect my computer to their internet (which is a me problem, not the hotel's - but if you have a highly secure computer, it may pose a problem.) The shower is a little short, but worked great. All and all, a great place to stay for the night and go out exploring during the day."
