Accommodations

Santa Cruz is a beach town and tourist destination, and there is a high demand for hotel rooms. We strongly recommend making a reservation as soon as possible, just in case. The most convenient accommodations will be on the West Side of Santa Cruz, in proximity to the main campus.

We have reserved a limited block of rooms at the Mission Inn. This hotel is convenient to UCSC and to the restaurants, wineries, and breweries of the West Side. To reserve a single queen or a double queen at our group rate, call 831-425-5455 and tell them you are associated with the ‘AMP Conference.’ This cannot be done online.

AirBnB is also a very popular option for visitors to Santa Cruz.

Some favorite hotels on the West Side:

The Mission Inn is about a 10-minute walk to the nearest bus stop, Bay & Mission St. The others are 2-5 minutes from bus stops on Laurel St (Babbling Brook) and Bay St (Sea & Sand, Seaway, and Dream).

The more adventurous, or road-trip inclined, might look for arrangements somewhat farther afield, e.g., the Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel (~30 miles north), the Davenport Roadhouse (~10 miles north), or local campgrounds, like in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.
