“Seaside Inn & Suites presents an affordable base for exploring Santa Cruz, though some rooms show wear. I see a convenient location near the beach and downtown, plus practical amenities like in-room kitchens. For travelers prioritizing budget and location, this could be a reasonable choice, but be aware that upkeep seems inconsistent.”
