What Guests Say
We were genuinely welcomed by the wonderful employee the late afternoon that we checked in. She was very helpful. The room was comfortable and we absolutely loved the fact that the wharf, and other restaurants were all within a short walking distance, meaning that we didn't have to take our car and try to find some parking. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay! Totally updated rooms since the last time I was there. The hostess was so sweet and accommodating! 2 min walk to the beach, and yet tucked away behind beautiful eucalyptus trees! Loved the breakfast options, boiled eggs, toast, bagels, coffee, juice, milk, hot and cold cereals, fruits, and waffle maker was a bonus. So was the large privately situated hot tub!

- This hotel was a pretty close walk to the boardwalk & pier. If you have a wagon or stroller, you do have a short detour, but the walk is around 5 minutes only. - The room was clean. - There was a microwave & fridge in the room. - Beds were comfortable and clean.

Beautiful clean room, comfy bed, good size. 7 minutes walk from Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Food and shopping all in walking distance. I woke up not feeling well (an ongoing issue for me). Checked out at 11am, drove just a couple of minutes and realized I wouldn't be safe driving. I pulled over, called the hotel and they were able to get me a new room immediately! I will definitely come back here again 🩷😊🩷😊🩷 Very nice and welcoming staff. Thank you!

The front desk staff was very welcoming. The hotel guests like older couples were welcoming compared to other hotels I’ve been to (Monterey, San Francisco, etc.). My girlfriend and I enjoyed laying in the jacuzzi and having a decent amount of breakfast options (would recommend adding breakfast sausages, sliced ham, or bacon). It’s a nice downhill walk to the pier and boardwalk. We’d love to stay here again.

Room was clean and decent, great location, good price for area. King room with balcony and ocean view was nice to have a balcony, would of been better to actually see the ocean

Breakfast had all the basic morning essentials to get the family started for the day ahead. It’s such an easy walk to the boardwalk. It was a perfect room and location for us.

We walked 1 block and were at the ocean. We parked the car at the hotel when we first got there and then we never got in the car until we left. Close to everything we wanted to do.

HoJo was where to stay back in the day and now that it's a Wyndham property, I thought we would give it a try. The property is pretty old with newer cosmetic updates in the room like a backlit mirror and comfortable beds. The location was amazing, we had an ocean view and were able to easily walk to the wharf. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, and we were able to park right outside the door to our room.
