Very nice Hotel. Very friendly staff and easy parking. Parking was only $5 a night which you cannot complain about when comparing parking to other hotels. Rooms are large and spacious and very comfortable beds. Was also very nice to have the smart TV with Netflix. Will definitely stay again. Best hotel in Scotts Valley.
Stayed for the weekend for a family wedding. Pretty nice hotel. The bar and patio area with the fire pits were a great spot for us all to have some drinks pre-wedding. Hotel was close to the venue and some fun little breweries only a few minutes away that we also enjoyed!
Excellent Stay – Clean, Comfortable, and Great Service! I had an amazing stay at the Four Points by Sheraton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley. The property is spotless, modern, and perfectly located — close to Santa Cruz but tucked away enough to feel peaceful. The rooms are spacious, quiet, and incredibly comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxing stay. The staff were genuinely warm and attentive, from check-in to housekeeping, everyone went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The on-site restaurant and bar were a pleasant surprise, offering great food and local wines. Parking was easy, and the hotel felt very safe and well-run. Whether you’re in town for business, a weekend getaway, or passing through on a coastal drive, this hotel is a gem. I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in the area!
Recently stayed here for a girl’s weekend and had a great experience. Rooms were spacious, modern and very clean. The staff was very friendly and housekeeping was very accommodating. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back for another weekend trip.
Had such a great time! This hotel was clean and comfortable, and the staff was really friendly and helpful the whole time! Our room was spacious, modern, and perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring Santa Cruz. Beds were super comfy, and everything felt fresh. The bar area had a great atmosphere, location is also convenient. We’ll definitely be back!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience! Booked a king suite through Expedia and it exceeded our expectations! All staff was very helpful! Whenever they were running low on coffee or water all we had to do was ask and they replaced it with quickness! Very close to Fasting & Prayer mountain and Salvation Army campsite! Everyone was so friendly wi definitely return! Thank you Trevor and Jackie for all the help!
I’m a local and this is my spot for a staycation when my family comes to town. Very central to some of Santa Cruz Counties best attractions. We have always gotten great service at the bar. During the summer they have a concert series on there beautiful outside lounge space that is family friendly. There rooms and bathrooms are large and decor feels very luxury. I’ll choose this hotel time and time again!
Really enjoyed my stay here! Rooms are spacious and have minimal / elegant furniture. Location is great and easy to get to Henry Cowell, Mystery Spot, Roaring Railroad camp.
