Top Cowell's Beach Hotel Reviews
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Great location right on the beach. Ample parking. Modern property with reasonably good size rooms. Several restaurants within easy walking distance."
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Clean room,breakfast,balcony"
Ocean Pacific Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Great location"
Casablanca On The Beach
8/10 Good
"We had a beautiful large room, with sunroom. We felt like we were in a bit of a fishbowl, but we chose that room, since we needed the three beds. There was a fantastic view of the beach and the volleyball courts from our room, so no one noticed us. The walkable wharf to the right provided a nice variety of restaurants, although very pricey. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. There was not much ventilation in the room, I would have appreciated more, as there was a bit of a stale smell. I would suggest you take your own pillow, as the ones they provide are small and lumpy. Those are just small nit picky things, that can be overlooked, as we had a delightful stay and wished we could have stayed longer."
Seaside Inn & Suites
10/10 Excellent
"It was a bit over cast but it was good and clean beds was comfy"
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Whenever you are in Santa Cruz, Courtyard Santa Cruz is it ! It’s walking distance to the Pier, and Beach. Unfortunately the pool was closed during our stay, which was a bummer, kids were excited. Other than that great family friendly hotel"
Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"It was a true suite. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the rooms in this friendliness of the staff."
Hotel Solares
8/10 Good
"Room is clean"
Seaway Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Room was great. I wish they would clean up the lobby. They use it as a storage space. Extra chairs, refrigerators, lamp shades, and the tv is never on. Can’t sit there and relax. Three days I went there in morning there was no coffee made or hot water for tea. Looks like counter space for snacks but it is cluttered. I love this little hotel but the lobby space has never been finished. 😞"
