Top Santa Cruz Harbor Hotel Reviews
Surf City Inn and Suites
8/10 Good
"Clean room, daily room cleaning."
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Great stay at Carousel Beach! Literally next door to the Boardwalk. Rooms were well maintained and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was simple but more than enough for our need. Would happily recommend this hotel to anyone planning a visit to Santa Cruz."
Ocean Pacific Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Very clean and great customer service"
Casablanca On The Beach
8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed out time at this hotel. We had a room with a great balcony and view of the beach and the ocean. Very relaxing and enjoyable time. If I had a couple minor complaints, it would be: 1.) the Wifi is terrible. I had to use my phone instead. Fortunately I have unlimited data on my phone, but if that were not true it might have been an issue, 2.) the coffee in the lobby is not good. Coffee pods in the rooms are better, but they don't give you enough, and (like many hotels) they don't give you enough water bottles. We had to bring our own. Otherwise, great stay. We will likely be back!"
Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay here. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!"

Harbor House A, overlooking Santa Cruz Harbor
10/10 Excellent
"I had a perfect 11 night stay in this unit while in Santa Cruz for work. It was a perfect fit for me, a minute walk to the beach, restaurants in walking distance, and I did enjoy the sounds of the sea lions in the background.The hosts were very easy to communicate with. I needed additional towels and they were dropped off the next day. My girlfriend came out for one of the weekends and it was plenty of room for us, especially since we were out most of the time exploring the area."
