Aptos Hotels

Half a mile from the Pacific Ocean and 7 miles from Santa Cruz, the Best Western Seacliff Inn of Aptos has 149 rooms divided into several compact 2-floor blocks arranged around a beautiful garden with outdoor pool, hot tub & waterfall/pond stocked with koi carp. The surroundings are mostly residential but with a shopping center to the south, and Highway 1 running by just west (access is from the State Park Drive exit). Also nearby is Aptos Village Park and the lower end of Forest of Nisene Marks State Park. The Seacliff Inn has its own restaurant/lounge (Severino's) featuring live entertainment on some days; for other dining there are plenty more restaurants within walking distance.
