Top Lower Ocean Hotel Reviews

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this place. Room was amazing. I had booked the two room with kitchen and I’ll definitely return."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time hanging out at the pool all day. The room was nice and the bed was super comfortable. All the staff were really friendly and helpful."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Exactly what you'd expect of a slightly older hotel. Great staff, fine amenities, fantastic location- just a slightly older facility. We enjoyed our stay, and would return."

Torch Lite Inn

8/10 Good

"Location was fantastic. Staff were very nice. Air conditioning worked great. Easy to park. Felt safe. The place could use some touch-ups. Our room smelled overwhelmingly of cleaner when we first arrived, so we had to open the door and window to air it out. True to the smell, the room was mostly very clean (especially the bed linens and towels)--the only issue was some mold in the bathroom. (Guys, I think it's time to replace that shower curtain.) I hope they do something nice with the dirt area that apparently used to be a pool. Would probably stay again--honestly, the biggest deterrent would be having to deal with the overwhelming cleaner smell again."

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We had the Garden facing room which was wonderful. Great to sit on the patio and look at the greens cape. The room was quiet and comfortable."

Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. A bit small but that’s ok. Attentive staff easy check in and out. Only issue was A/C did not work. Room was at 73-75 during our stay"

Continental Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I always enjoy coming here when I visit Santa Cruz, always clean and a very quite place to stay"

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean rooms, ac worked great and within walking distance to the Boardwalk"
