About La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
A modern stay between downtown and the boardwalk.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz blends contemporary style with a location that makes beach and city access effortless. The property sits on Second Street, just blocks from the Boardwalk, balancing coastal leisure with the energy of downtown Santa Cruz. Its design leans clean and modern—neutral tones, fresh furnishings, and uncluttered spaces that keep the focus on relaxation after a day outdoors.
Rooms carry the essentials of a reliable stay: air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, and refrigerators for added convenience. Bathrooms are fitted with walk-in showers, hairdryers, and complimentary toiletries, keeping mornings streamlined. Guests often note the balance of comfort and practicality, especially those who like to mix beach time with downtown exploration.
