This is a nice enough old style motel in a good location. If you want to be close to the beach and boardwalk I suspect this is going to be the hotel for you. The rooms were clean and well presented although a little dated but nice enough and perfectly comfortable. We had an ocean view room which was nice... more

My husband, 3 yr old son, and I recently stayed at the Terrace Court in Santa Cruz for 2 nights. It is located directly across the street from the wharf and beach. The motel itself is nothing spectacular, the room was clean but not updated, the shower was hot, and the bed comfortable. There is a choice of rooms with... more

Our family has been going to Terrace Ct. for decades and enjoying the casual, family spirit of the place. Our latest trip was to be three days there with our daughter and baby granddaughter. On the first night, loud music started emanating from the room next to our daughter's and one down from ours. She was trying to get the... more

I recently stayed at the Terrace Court in a double room for one night, along with friends who had booked 2 of the family suites. We have been coming to this hotel with the kids for a "Mom's beach vacation" for several years, and although we skipped last year, have always had a great experience. This year was terrible! My... more

We have been coming down to the Terrace Court Motel for many years. Our car club, Heads of Colfax, look forward to our yearly trip and the great times at the *Hot rods at the beach* car show. The motel has great views, nice friendly people run the motel, there is a BBQ and tables for those nightly cook outs,... more

The Terrace Court Motel in Santa Cruz is a shining example of how great accommodation needn't be flashy or expensive. Its location is excellent, right near Cowell beach and Santa Cruz Pier, and even the rooms above the shops on the main street aren't affected by too much noise - this part of Santa Cruz isn't a particularly loud place... more

We rented an oceanview King size room the last week in April. We encountered some problems. The rooms have incredibly thin walls and you can hear everything in the room next door. Also, the bathroom window won't shut completely, so you hear all kinds of noise from the parking lot above the rooms. Not a good place to stay if... more

Just on an overnight stopover - didn't prebook but they weren't full. The young lass at reception was helpful and friendly, and we were given a room right down the front overlooking the beach and the pier. We were also given an allocated parking spot. Nice that these rooms had a balcony with deck chairs and lounges, which is a... more

Our stay at the Terrace Court Motel was not only the BEST we have ever experienced in Santa Cruz but brought us back to the days of long ago when our parents brought us to this resort city for vacations. Our room was exceptionally clean as well as the bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was exactly like the one my... more
