Ocean Pacific Lodge

"Booked a Deluxe 2 king room. I liked having privacy between the living spaces. Was also surprised to find a hot tub in the bathroom! Not a tub with jets but a legit jacuzzi..SUPER relaxing after walking all day! The room was clean with a microwave, coffee maker & mini fridge. Beds were comfy (pillows were not tho..if you like a fluffy pillow, take your own..these are compacted). The staff was extremely nice also. Perfect location to the Boardwalk with an excellent burrito shop/market across the street. Would definitely book again."

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

Travelocity Verified Review

"I've frequent this establishment several times and absolutely love it. The view from the rooms are amazing. It is conveniently located near restarants and stores/shops. It's beach access is lovely. You can go out on the beach, people watch, or enjoy room service/drinks from your balcony which beats any view at any restaurant on the boardwalk (provided you have an ocean view room). The only downside is that my room this time had an annoyingly loud leaky shower and a very noisy aircondition unit."

Casablanca On The Beach

Travelocity Verified Review

"We had a marvelous room with character, overlooking the beach and wharf in santa cruz. The bed was extremely comfortable, though the pillows were a little weird. There was a HUGE tv screen in the room, plus microwave, fridge and coffee maker. The room also came with a huge shower and beautifully renovated bathroom and a private balcony. The room was spotlessly clean and had architectural features from its older heritage. There was one flight of stairs to access it. It could not have been more convenient for walking to the beach wharf or boardwalk, and for watching volleyball players snd surfers. The room even came with an in wall gas fireplace."
