The Aqua Pacific Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"It was good and it fun and I like it"
Seaside Inn & Suites
8/10 Good
"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"The location was great, and the room was good."
Carousel Beach Inn
8/10 Good

Surf City Inn and Suites

"Seamless check in, and really good amenities for the price. Didn’t even get a chance to use the putting green"
