It's a fine place to stay if you only need to sleep. The ground level can be noisy. We had people yelling right outside of door around 2am. Hearing someone scream "I'm going to kick your ass" isn't entertaining when it sounds like they're right outside your window. The room didn't feel very well ...

Casablanca On The Beach

2 out of 5

Posted 2 hours ago

Travelocity Verified Review

"Shower was beyond filthy. It was full of toilet paper. Possibly a drain back up. Which happens but was not cleaned obviously. None of the outlets worked. Staff was nice and apologetic but offered no compensation. "

Ocean Pacific Lodge

3 out of 5

Posted 1 day ago

Travelocity Verified Review

"Our stay at the Ocean Pacifc Lodge in Santa Cruz was alright. The room was large and check in was very smooth, even through we were arriving at midnight. The bed was a little stiff for my taste, and our room was across from the pool so it smelled very chlorine-y like the pool in our room which wasn’t ideal. But we did really appreciate the location, and its accessibility to the ocean and pier, as well as the free parking. "
