Top Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park Hotel Reviews

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Initially thought the hotel was too noisy, but then realized the windows were open. Ha! Packages of earplugs were placed on the nightstands which was a nice touch. Hotel is located on a well traveled intersection, so getting in & out of the parking lot was annoying. Overall, it’s another older Santa Cruz hotel in walking distance to the boardwalk and beach. It served our purpose for our quick weekend trip."
