Just up the road and within walking distance from Cowell's Beach, the pier and Boardwalk, Ocean Pacific Lodge is a great location if you're staying in Santa Cruz. The rooms were good sized (two queen beds), the beds comfy, clean room (some minor wear on walls). In room coffee, frig, microwave. Pool area was well kept, and had two jacuzzi.... More

You can walk to downtown, the Boardwalk, the Wharf, West Cliff Drive, and a nice park. Since all dog-friendly rooms are... More

Booked the hotel for a trip to UCSC. Very appealing venue, nice building, convenient parking. Spacious room, very clean, good bathroom. Helpful staff. Excellent value for the money. Usually I like to stay in cheaper motels as I need the room only for sleeping but I will probably return when I stay in Santa Cruz again. Great (self-made) waffles for... More

I was happy with my stay. First off I booked directly with the hotel and got my AAA rate which was cheaper than other websites. When we first arrived our room had a few minor issues (our window screen looked all broken as someone had tried to break in from the pool side & our smoke alarm was just hanging... More

The hotel is older and the furniture could use some updating. However, the room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Walking distance to the boardwalk and pier. Overall, an exceptional value. I would stay there again. More
