What city close to Santa Cruz, California has the cheapest hotel rates?

My hubby and I are leaving on a short mini vacation to Santa Cruz and we want the best deals on hotels possible. We know in the city can be high priced, so I was wondering if there were any close cities that had lower prices.

    "Totally recommended! It's cheap, clean, close to the beach, and at least the room we stayed in (201) had been remodeled in the recent past. It's a basic hotel room, but much better maintained..."

    This is a super cheap hotel. Think Motel 6-ish. I booked via Expedia and this was one of the cheapest hotels in Santa Cruz near the beach. It's cheap. It's not the Four Seasons.

    BEST DEAL!!! Called the day of and booked a room on Father's Day 2013, when all other hotels were booked out, or way overpriced. This place charges $99 regardless of what day of the week

    Not the hotel you want to stay at for a romantic weekend in bed, but a great place to stay if you plan to keep busy w/ activities and just need a place to crash.

    that night for a few bucks less than some of the other places around. No swimming pool in operation, but the beach is a few blocks away, so whatever. If you want a decent, cheap hotel room…

    I don't know what you mean "in the city". Santa Cruz is more like a little town. It's got about 60,000 residents. There is not much around. You can stay in Aptos or Watsonville... but you will have to drive 20+ mins to Santa Cruz.
