Villas in Lower Ocean

"perfect place to stay if going to the boardwalk"

"I’ve stayed at Ocean Gate Inn several times when visiting my son at UCSC, and the staff has always been kind and professional. One thing I really appreciate is how they go above and beyond — I’ve arrived as late as 1 a.m., and they’ve called to make sure I was still coming, which shows great customer service. Sometimes I show up with two cars (mine and my son’s), and the man at the front desk always says it’s fine and never makes a big deal about it. The rooms are clean, it’s in a safe area, and every room even has its own balcony. It’s honestly one of the best affordable hotels in Santa Cruz. Other places nearby have issues, but here the staff truly cares. I’ve had small maintenance issues in the past, and they were fixed right away. Overall, great people, great service, and a comfortable place to stay! "

"Small partial beach view! But comfortable small hotel"

"This is the second time we’ve stayed here, it's a great hotel, it’s always clean, very comfortable and in a nice location. We really enjoy it and we will be back again."

"Staff and pool are excellent!"

"Great place to take the family "

"The room was nice and clean. The shower head needed replacement though. Pool and hot tub are excellent and having a nice bar/restaurant was very convenient. "

"Rooms were very clean as were entire facilities. My only critique is their water softener made the shower a tad slippery. "

"GREAT location to get anywhere in the area! "
