Top Rio del Mar Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my family loved it, everything was perfect, so close to the boardwalk, and we even walked there, so convenience. Thank you so mucfor the stay Eva"

Best Western Marina State Beach

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my stay, the staffs are very helpful.The location is excellent—it's just a short walk from Marina State Beach and only a short drive to Monterey, making it very convenient for exploring the area. The hotel was comfortable, and the staff was friendly. My only drawback was the price, which was higher than my budget. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, especially if location is your priority."

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The only complaint we could have is the beds and pillows were awful. pillows were flat and not enough to hold your head up. Beds were super stiff, the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever encountered. They were on these metal frames that squeaked very loudly. Underneath lining the bed was what I describe as sheet metal? Everyone in the room would hit it getting in or out of bed… and it was LOUD. I could hear it from the rooms next to us as well."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Staff is Great. Property was nice. Room was Nice. Pool and Hottub were nice and clean. Check in was not very good. We arrived at 1 and were told Our room would be prepared by 3. We came back a little after 3 and had to wait till around 5 and watched Everyone else check in and get Their room. No Enjoyable At All!"
