Wife and I took off for a couple days at Santa Cruz for a break. We stayed the Aqua Breeze Inn for the first time. The location is great just across the parking lot to the Beach Boardwalk and the wharf. It is an older small motel. The rooms are medium size for an older unit, a little worn, but... More

Thank you for your review, we are very happy you took the time to let others know that you enjoyed your stay and especially our location.

My boyfriend and i took my 14 year old to santa cruz for a couple days to see the ocean and ride the giant dipper. We got a room with 2 queens on the third floor and it was perfect! It was spacious, clean, free wifi, and had a fridge and microwave! We absolutely loved the fact that it was... More

The staff was nice and the location was perfect! My friends and I went for a night to visit the boardwalk and for the price we were surprised that it was so close to the boardwalk. Free parking which was nice and a cool balcony that you could sit at over the pool and see the boardwalk.

The Aqua Breeze Inn is across the street from the Board Walk and the Beach. The Staff overall were great. I needed a downstairs room due to my disability. I reserved a double twin room, but they had none available. They upgraded us to a double queen room at no extra charge. There is a continental breakfast from 8-10 at... More

Was hoping for better but was disappointed. Booked the room on short notice because many others in the area were already booked, or wouldn't accommodate a family w/ three children in one room or wouldn't accept pets. This place met all those requests but that's about it. The room we stayed in was not clean. It wasn't filthy, but I... More

Decent property. Spotlessly clean (would satisfy Felix Unger!). Good price, and *very* near the Boardwalk. Minuses include the worst towels known to man, no shampoo provided, WiFi that only works if your room happens to be quite close to the office / router, and parking that, although definitely provided, is difficult for large vehicles (from one of the lots, you...

This hotel is very outdated. The towels and linens are scratchy and be sure to bring your own shampoo and soap. They only give you a paper thin piece of soap for the whole room. This hotel does have a great location with respect to the beach, wharf, etc. I wouldn't recommend bringing anyone here you're trying to impress but... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for staying with us. I'm sorry you didn't find the soap and towels up to your standard, we typically put 1 hand soap and 1 bath soap in our bathrooms, so I must apologize for not putting both out for you. I am glad though that you enjoyed our location, and I hope you also enjoyed... More

Stayed here for two nights during our trip around the West Coast. It was perfectly safe and the owners were relatively friendly, however the thing that sold it to us was the location!!! Cons: tv was fuzzy- however this wasn't too much of an issue as we aren't big tv lovers. Lots of loads noise at night- the other residents... More
