Enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving stay at this hotel. The staff was absolutely fabulous and treated us like a five star hotel. It has a great view of Santa Cruz beach from the top of the hill and simple, easy access down the hill about maybe 300 meters to the beach. The room was perfect for us with a microwave and... More

The room was nice and clean. The room had a fireplace that was in the wall between the room and the bathroom. Very nice while sitting in the jacuzzi tub. Located 50 yards from the Boardwalk. More

We were happy to have found such a great location and truly enjoyed our stay. Clean room albeit small (Room 103) and had the look & feel of a room from the early 70's. There was a small table sized ironing board but we had to ask the front desk for an iron, there wasn't a hair dryer and no... More

My wife and wanted to get away for the weekend and stay at a place where we could have easy access to the beach boardwalk/wharf. Well we found a wonderful place that was just that...close to everything and much more. The staff at Edgewater was very nice and accommodating! The room had a great view and the bed was very... More

We originally booked a different place near the beach but our daughter wouldn't let us stay there because she didn't like the neighborhood. So she drove about the area before we arrived and picked the Edgewater Beach for us. She was right! We loved it! Our room had two levels, a fireplace, view of the pier, and a great ocean-view...

I had made reservations at another motel but when we arrived it was not close to the boardwalk and was on a busy loud street. So we went looking for another motel, as we drove around the boardwalk area we found this gem. It is centrally located but you don't feel like you are in the middle of everything. They... More

Last minute trip to Santa Cruz and stumbled across the Edgewater by mistake. Best mistake we could have made! The staff was beyond friendly, courteous and helpful. Room was immaculate and the location couldn't have been better. I almost didn't want to write this because we want to keep it to ourselves. Already planning a return visit and we wouldn't... More
