Casablanca Motel is my favorite place to stay in Santa Cruz. It's right across the street from the main beaches and walking distance to the downtown area. Walking distance to the best surf learning spot in California. Also, you are right there by the Boardwalk and Pier Restaurants. The restaurant had a great wine list and good California Cuisine.

Having gone to university at UC Santa Cruz and spent a couple summers living there, I like to go back and visit my favorite haunts from time to time. Usually, I stay at one of the cheapies on Ocean St. or at the twee, doily-infested Babbling Brook if I'm feeling spendy... This time though, my wife and I stayed at... more

I booked this hotel in advance and should have known from the beginning that it would not be a good experience. They insisted on a faxed reservation request with my credit card info, as they are not set up to book over the internet. They did not send any confirmation and I had to call twice to make sure that... more

The photos were so very misleading. I have been to beach hotels before but at least they were clean. The people working there were rude and disinterested. I would never subject my family to a place like this again. more

Decoration is depressing and the place is not very clean. Anyway, the worse part of it is the price... $200 is just a robbery! Just stay at a regular motel, at least prices are generally honest. more

Oh My God, What a dump. we checked in and quickly checked out again after viewing the "Honeymoon suite" told them it was not suitable they then shows us a sea front normal room. I was shocked at the standard and for what they were charging. While we were there another couple had viewed there room and basically checked out... more

My family and I travel a lot, and usually have good experiences. But the Casa Blanca Inn provided us with he WORST hotel experience ever. When we checked in we were upsold to a room with a beach view. Turns out the room (6A) was a converted garage. It seemed appealing at first because it opened right onto the street... more
