Parking area is cramped and no elevator on the property. Location is excellent though, one block away from the boardwalk. ##### Artem Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany Oct 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved how close this is to the Boardwalk! Room was clean, bathroom seemed upgraded, water pressure was great in the shower and got hot quickly. Beds weren't super comfy but they were good enough. Like others said, the parking is tight and on a hill/slope so must be comfortable with your vehicle. The walls are thin so it's a little noisy at night with the nightlife outside but we picked this place to be able to walk to the Boardwalk and not have to find parking. Downtown Santa Cruz is less than a mile away and has tons of other food options and shopping. Overall, great place to stay while visiting Santa Cruz Boardwalk! ##### Brittany Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julio Oct 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very clean and good hotel ##### Julio Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniella May 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect location If you’re literally there just for the boardwalk, this is the most perfect ideal room. It’s in between Santa Cruz, Boardwalk, and the pier everything within walking distance, very clean even in the middle of construction it was still a comfortable stay. ##### Daniella Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveler Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Nice room but noisy neighborhood Very close to the boardwalk and the wharf, room was spacious and the staff was friendly. If you are looking to sleep past 6am this is not the place, extremely noisy neighborhood. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Mission Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Mission-Inn.h9675322.Hotel-Information) - [Howard Johnson by Wyndham Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Howard-Johnson-By-Wyndham-Santa-Cruz-Beach-Boardwalk.h15140.Hotel-Information) - [2 Room Suite - Indoor Pool and Spa - Walk to the Boardwalk - No Cleaning Fee!](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-2-Room-Suite-Indoor-Pool-And-Spa-Walk-To-The-Boardwalk-No-Cleaning-Fee.h95806726.Hotel-Information) - [Aqua Breeze Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Aqua-Breeze-Inn.h4110757.Hotel-Information) - [Torch Lite Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Torch-Lite-Inn.h5864.Hotel-Information) - [Carousel Beach Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Carousel-Beach-Inn.h18732933.Hotel-Information) - [West Cliff Inn - A Four Sisters Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-West-Cliff-Inn-A-Four-Sisters-Inn.h1677375.Hotel-Information) - [Motel Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Motel-Santa-Cruz.h1335721.Hotel-Information) - [Seaside Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Seaside-Inn-Suites.h92182364.Hotel-Information) - [Hyatt Place Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Santa-Cruz.h17271952.Hotel-Information) - [Marea Sol Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Marea-Sol-Hotel.h88129451.Hotel-Information) - [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Santa Cruz, CA](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Santa-Cruz.h11615680.Hotel-Information) - [Comfort Inn Santa Cruz North](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Santa-Cruz.h17547.Hotel-Information) - [Fairfield Inn & Suites Santa Cruz - Capitola](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-Santa-Cruz-Capitola.h4395449.Hotel-Information) - [Pacific Blue Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Pacific-Blue-Inn.h3038261.Hotel-Information) - [Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hilton-Santa-Cruz-Scotts-Valley.h201285.Hotel-Information) - [Hampton Inn Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Santa-Cruz.h521090.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western Plus All Suites Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-All-Suites-Inn.h5407.Hotel-Information) - [Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Santa Cruz by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Santa-Cruz.h2458057.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western Plus Capitola By-the-sea Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Capitola-By-The-Sea-Inn-Suites.h532613.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Santa Cruz County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Flight-Destinations) - [Santa Cruz County Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Santa Cruz County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Santa Cruz County Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Santa Cruz County](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Santa-Cruz-County.d553248635996998000.Travel-Guide-Activities)
