Top Cowell's Beach Hotel Reviews
Hotel Solares
8/10 Good
"Overall the hotel is decent. The room was clean and spacious. The property is ok but could use some up-keep. Didn't care for the coffee from the machine in the lobby, it tasted like chemicals, maybe from the cleaning process."
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Clean room"
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"We had an excellent time by the pool on a saturday. The burgers were out of this world. Staff was very friendly and helpful."
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful stay, staff was very kind and helpful I loved the location being close enough to walk to the boardwalk and to good restaurants! The 3 bed room stay was perfect for our family to all stay together. If we come back we will be booking at this hotel!"
Ocean Pacific Lodge
8/10 Good
"Clean, comfortable easy access location. 5 min walk to beach. 2 blocks. Directly Accross from Depot park where there is many soccer games. This is a great location to stay if you are doing the SC triathlons. Pool a bit cool and hot tub was comfortable but not hot. Jets in both hot tubs were not working. Pool area was clean and pool towels are provided. The in room shower was huge with two shower heads. Breakfast place across the street is yummy but cash only."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Unique, the snacks in the room are “complimentary “…sure, you’re paying for them in the long run, but it’s a totally different “feel” than places that put $5.00 bottles of water in the room. Staff extremely polite, attentive and helpful. Will stay again. Longer next time."
Beach Street Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"The staff really was great. And easy access to beach. Cafe downstairs helped a lot."
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was excellent !! It’s literally next to the boardwalk which was perfect!! The room and the property were very clean. The hotel staff was super friendly. Definitely recommend staying here. Our stay was excellent"
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
8/10 Good
"Room and refrigerator were clean. Staff both reception and housekeeping were very accommodating. The breakfast buffet area always seemed a little cramped. Waffles were a hit but had to stand in line the first morning a long time as only two waffle makers. Almost always a line to make waffles. I guess the line depends on how many guests show up at the same time. Muffins were the same everyday, it would be nice to have options. Always plenty of bacon, scrambled eggs, and sausages. No hot chocolate packets :( but other option coffee, tea, milk, juices. There was a $25 parking fee per night and I didn’t remember that being mentioned prior to our stay. Around that area there were no other options for overnight parking so no choice. Good to know the parking area is secured. Easy walk to the beach wharf, boardwalk and downtown. Visited the Museum, lots of great I for about the bay. Fun for all ages. I stay definitely again."
