Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, Ca

The location and breakfast were fantastic. The food was good, generous. The "dining" room /lounge was spacioue, and beautifully and tastefullly furnished, with light streaming in. Two TV screens discreetly placed; bright and uplifting decor. Nice tables for eating and relaxing, with the most comfortable chairs I have experienced in a hotel. Outstanding, And the 24 /7 hot coffee and tea in the lobby area was wonderful. The staff was amazing. They answered all my queries cheerfull and helpfully (directions, restaurants, pillow, luggage storage..) and were kind and accommodating. A plus! Thank you so much. The room was also spacious, bath fittings clean and beautiful, bed comfortable. The lighting in the room was the only bad feature, about which I will say something below. The room depended too much on light coming in from the one window, not something you can guarantee, not to mention that one had to draw the curtains for privacy, Overhead lighting is greatly needed. Otherwise, fantastic room. I loved the location--short and beautiful walk to West Cliff for ocean views, the boardwalk, etc. short distance to the University as well as downtown, short walk to Safeway and the UPS store and to nice restaurants and cafes. Can't think of a better location.

newer proprty. rooms very comfortable. great location just a block walk from newer boutique area of breweries, wineries, coffee shops, restaurants, and shops. nice full breakfast and very comfortable and sunny breakfast area for working or hanging out. quick drive up to campus.

it was quiet and clean and the staff were very friendly. what I liked the most was that the king suite was a good sized room. my daughter and son stayed in the hotel in seperate rooms but we were all able to get together in my king suite to spend a little chill time watching a movie on a projector I brought on this trip. i projected the movie onto a wall and we rearranged the couch to see the movie better. this hotel is close to the boardwalk and lots of restaurants which I liked but being older my wife and I got tired of doing so many activities that staying in the hotel was a treat

Staffs very friendly and professional. Room is super clean and bed very comfortable. The hot breakfast buffet was excellent!!! I would definitely stay or recommend anyone again

Very good location, 10 minutes from Ocean and 20 minutes from UCSC. Quiet and restful, away from the bustling crowd. Breakfast was great, omelets, potatoes and sausages, as well as all the usual. Lovely little restaurant environment to dine and refresh. We will go back again soon to visit our new university student daughter. Recommend this as a great value. Very friendly and helpful staff, quite sweet.
