Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk hotels in Santa Cruz, California

We stayed in a room approximately the size of a one bedroom apartment in the city (Rm#214), which was perfect for our family! The indoor pool and spa was giant and had great hours of availability. Everything, seriously EVERYTHING, is a few minutes walk from Surf City. If you walk less than 2 minutes you have an adorable neighborhood park, and directly across the street from that was a little skate park (not our thing, but my sons were happy to observe for a minute). A short 8 minute walk to Main Beach, the Boardwalk, Neptune's Kingdom, and dozens of little shops and cafes. The best part was that for a small $40 extra we purchased the "Stay and Play" option, which allowed us to check out at 4 and park for the day. We swam for several extra hours and spent a ton of time at the beach without worrying about parking. I would definitely recommend Surf City, and I will definitely be back.

The place itself looks a little run down from the outside although we didn't mind that aesthetic (it's in keeping with the town!). Breakfast was fairly average. The room was a very pleasant surprise though - very modern refit and incredibly comfortable beds. About a 15 min walk to the beach, and 5 min walk to shops and cafes. Got a great price and would stay again.

2 room motel, separated by a bathroom which was perfect. Beds were pretty hard & you could feel the individual springs in them, but it had a top layer of padding. Great location, price was great for what we got. We generally come to Santa Cruz every year but had never stayed here before.

Great location to access boardwalk, wharf, beach. Pleasing courtyard/pool surroundings.

Misses and I stayed over memorial day weekend, we had 0 complaints other than the coffee was bad in their breakfast.( Considering all things not a big deal). We stayed in the side house, very clean, spacious, & easily accessible. On site parking was amazing. Didn't move the car for 3 days. 10 min walk to downtown, 5 min walk to the boardwalk. We will definitely be staying here from now on whenever we visit Santa Cruz. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, 0 worry weekend. I can't say enough nice things about all the staff who were very polite, friendly and accommodating whenever possible. Worth the money for parking, location, privacy, & comfort. 10 out of 10 👍.

Very close to the beach and boardwalk. Fairly clean. The room was nothing special, but we didn't come to Santa Cruz to hang out in our room all day.

Beautiful house and the renovation has only added to its beauty. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Remodeled motel. Great location, short walking distance to the boardwalk

The owners were extremely nice and accommodating. I went for a race but wouldn't be done before check out. They helped my friend check me out and allowed me to leave my car in the lot until I was done. My room was clean, big and had a fantastic bed!
