My fiancé and I stayed here just for one night this weekend. I wish we had stayed longer! We stayed in one of the cheaper rooms, it was about 150 dollars for the night with tax. Since we spent so little on the room I really wasn't expecting a whole lot. But can I just say that the second we... More

We stopped in santa cruz to see a friend and decided to find a place with a beach view. This was the first place we drove up too. The young man showed us two rooms, which was very nice of him, before we decided. The room we picked had a nice bed with another bed that had a pullout underneath,... More

We spent two very pleasant nights here in a Main Street bungalow. There is a small kitchen, comfortable king-size bed, large TV, desk (free wifi), shower, and balcony with a view of beach and boardwalk. A very pleasant surprise was the buffet style take-away breakfast that included fresh bagels, banana and chocolate breads, and big bowl of fresh-cut fruit, cereal,... More

My husband & I booked this hotel as a side trip as we were going to San Francisco for a conference for his work.

I recommend this hotel during off season hours as it has a beautiful view and is in walking distance of the pier. The king bed was cozy and it was nice to have a kitchen so that I could be a total recluse and cook lunch and dinner while I enjoyed reading. I was there on a Monday and Tuesday... More

The location cannot be beat! We stayed in one of the Beach Street Bungalows and it was so wonderful!

I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. It was exactly how it was displayed on-line. The staff is wonderful, especially the woman at the front desk. I had several conversations with her. She was very friendly and welcoming. You can always tell the difference between a family run business and a large corporation. Very personable. The restaurant is being remodeled... More

My fiance and Istayed one night(no two night minimum) and we loved it. We stayed in room 25 and the view was amazing! Everything was a shirt walk away. The bistro and restraunt were closed which was a major bummer but still worth it!! Great staff, very friendly and helpful.

We stay at the Casablanca Inn 3 or 4 times a year & always have great time. The rooms are old but I am told they are in the process of refurbishing them. Regardless, the location is the key here.
