If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz's laid-back coastline and dog-friendly beaches make it an ideal spot for travelers seeking pet-friendly hotels that combine comfort with convenient access to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, West Cliff walks, and nearby off-leash parks. Look for properties that offer on-site pet amenities—bedding, food bowls, and designated relief areas—clear pet policies and reasonable fees, and consider booking early during summer and weekends when demand spikes. Prioritize hotels near veterinary clinics and outdoor dining options so both you and your companion can enjoy a hassle-free stay.
