We stayed here on a Friday night and the rate was about $85 which we thought very good for a beach town on a weekend. The location of this place is fantastic--you can walk to the cliff walk, boardwalk, and downtown. The motel also took our small dog and did not put us in a smoking room or awful dog... more

My husband and I stayed at the Ocean Pacific Lodge in late August. We wanted to just get away but not have to spend a bundle. I was able to get us reservations for one night and with a AAA discount, the room was $83 including tax!!! We've stayed at numerous places in Santa Cruz, and although this was not... more

You will not find great deals in Santa cruz on a summer weekend. In fact the prices have gone down since 2008 and 2007, so our reservation for this 2.5 star hotel for 150$ on a last minute booking in August is a better deal than most in the area. I usually have great success on priceline, but beware, it... more

We made the mistake, unknowingly, of traveling to Santa Cruz on a Triathlon weekend. We wound up paying resort prices for an extremely disappointing motel. You would thing if they inflate their prices incredibly, they would at least provide adequate staff for the weekend. We couldn't even get an extra pillow when we requested one. The unenthusiastic staff seemed to... more

Okay, this place has its ups and downs, and if you stay here you will be neither grossed out nor wowed. This motel has a lot of good going for it but they drop the ball on presentation. The folks greeting guests in the lobby don't really look like they are in the hospitality business. The sweatshirts with hoods, etc.,... more

Spent two days at the Days Inn San Carlos in Monterey which would get a very negative rating if I could find the right sight. This place was like a breath of fresh air. Nice room, everything they advertise. Comfortable bed, lots of pillows, big clean bathrobes, plenty of towels and toiletries, more towels for swimming if you wish. Great... more

Great offseason price for 2 night stay in January, $57 per nite (plus tax) for 2 queens, thru Hotels.com. Clean, comfortable, great location, friendly staff and fast check in/check out. My second stay here, 1st stay great too. more

After much research, I booked 2 nights at the Ocean Pacific Lodge for a total of $225, the internet rate for a 2 Queen bed basic room. Upon check in, we went to our room, and were dismayed by the darkness, the small claustrophobic feel of the room, the small window being the main source of light, and the peeling... more

We waited until the last minute on the Memorial Day weekend to book a room, and we were a little skeptical when we pulled into the parking lot. The hotel exterior looks a little dated. The front desk assistant had no personality but she was professional so it was ok. We asked for a room on the 3rd floor when... more

I've stayed at a couple of places in Santa Cruz before and they've been overpriced and dingy. The Ocean Pacific Lodge is hardly upscale, but it provides clean, adequate lodging. The room was good, if unremarkable; everything worked. But the location -- just a short walk from the Boardwalk -- can't be beat at this price. The included continental breakfast... more
