The Aqua Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed there for the weekend and we liked it. The staff were very helpful. Nice and calm place to stay at."

Casablanca On The Beach

4/10 Poor

"Room was clean enough but everything was super run down looking. The door had run a path in the wood/laminate floors. Dressers had new stone tops but they were not secured. Lights did not work consistently, mattress base was ripped and tattered, shower grout was black and orange with sediment all over, shower head was caked in sediment, shower head was on an adjustable pole and would not stay in place. Bathroom mirror was a thin peice of mirror barely hanging on the wall with an uncentered unsecured glass shelf under it that sat above an old and abused vanity that has scratches all over it and wood filler and exposed wood on one side like it had been chewed on by an animal or something The property boasted a court yard for gathering and it was the sadest weed covered cement area with a beat up corn hole game and broken furniture I’ve ever seen. Our TV only had a few channels and could connect to Netflix but it was google TV that hadn’t been updated probably since it’s purchase years ago so it kept clitching and pausing and not responding to the remote. The only positive thing about this place was the proximity to the beach. Being right across from the beach and boardwalk was why we chose the property but next time I’ll send a little more and stay someone that actually take pride in the appearance and functionally of the rooms they offer."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

6/10 Okay

"Booked two ocean view rooms on the third floor. The hotel has a strict policy of 10pm quiet time and it’s for this exact reason I did not book on the beach. First night 11:00pm right outside our room next to the fire pit was a group of people being very loud. They eventually left but returned at 3am to be even louder. (Staff was notified both times) Second night: Elevator broke so that left us having to go up and down stairs with kids and all of our beach gear. Third night: wanted to enjoy the fire pit myself but there was zero propane. Went to let the front desk know and they had zero access to full tanks and said it was the maintenance persons fault for not checking the tank.I don’t understand why the front desk has no access to spare full tanks. The pros of this hotel is it’s clean. The pool is only 3 feet deep so it’s nice to relax, and the breakfast they offer is great. The parking is also safe and locked with access to an elevator to make things easy to unload/load your vehicle. "

Comfort Inn Santa Cruz North

2/10 Terrible

"The room was OVER priced and extremely filthy, we had to wipe up whatever was spilled all over the refrigerator and clothes hutch. We couldn't shower due to the water coming back up from the pipes. There was sand in the tub, and we had not even been to the beach! Over all it was dirty and very uncomfortable. Our A/C was broken also."
