We stayed here for the weekend and it was perfect for our needs. The room was comfortable and clean. It was right next to a school, so I'm not sure how congested it gets during school hours since school was not in session when we stayed. It was quiet because it was just off the main street and away from all of the other busy parts of the town. It was close enough to delicious restaurants, dessert places and coffeehouses. We enjoyed going down to the Natural Bridges park and tide pools. I especially appreciated the plentiful free self-parking. My friend enjoyed the 24 hour gym and the spa was occupied most of the time so people enjoyed it even though it was outside. It was too cold for us to try. The continental breakfast was fine. The hotel fulfilled our needs (2 adults, 1 elementary aged child). We would recommend this place to our friends.

The location is great

My husband and I stayed at this hotel to attend an event at the Civic Auditorium and also celebrate our anniversary. Our room was clean, spacious, and had a great view from the top floor balcony. The breakfast could be better but at least it was complimentary. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet location and just a short drive to everything we wanted to see. I would definitely stay here again if I'm back in the area.

The place is quiet, clean and safe area. The only thing that made me unhappy is i did not get the room that i reserved. I reserved a King room with balcony and i did not get it, i was told they overbooked . The staff at the check in is no fault , i asked if i will be refunded but i was told no . My first time at Fairfield Inn and not sure if I will go back again. They should be more careful with their bookings so customers will be happy. I was planning to talk to the manager the next day but i felt sorry to the lady because she was at the check in again and it was obvious she was trying to avoid me so i let it go. I know she felt bad but it was not her fault.

Great property, but quite removed from the main part of Santa Cruz. It was absolutely perfect for us as we appreciated the quiet and remoteness. No restaurant anywhere nearby, but again, that was fine by us.

The location was easy to access and quiet. The hotel was clean, offered free parking and breakfast. What we really enjoyed was the layout of the hotel room. The sitting area was spacious, there were TV's in both areas and a coffee area with both a microwave and refrigerator. We will stay here again!
