Hampton Inn Santa Cruz West, Ca

hot oatmeal was very good, with cranberries + low fat milk. Building was new, modern decor. Staff very cordial and helpful. Room spacious

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.

The breakfast was very good! I loved the eggs, now the potatoes could've been cooked a bit more. I did NOT appreciate seeing a "DOG" in the eatery area. The dog was NOT by the food but so close to it, I was uncomfortable!!! the silverware was cheap plastic but overall the food was very good and plentiful.

Breakfast was good with lots of options. Orange juice was watered down. Coffee, tea and other juice options were wonderful. Rooms were clean, comfy with a modern element to the decor.

Conveniently located near all Westside area eateries, West Cliff Drive and Natural Bridges. The room was spacious and clean and the facilities were well cared for. The bed was comfy. The staff was super friendly and helpful and there were a wide variety of tasty breakfast options.
