Top Cowell's Beach Hotel Reviews
Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz
8/10 Good
"The carpet is dirty."
Carousel Beach Inn
8/10 Good
"Clean and cute property very close to the beach. Free parking is nice but spaces are tiny. Breakfast was good but bananas both days were overripe and nearly spoiled and staff knew this, they should have bought proper fruit to replace it instead of putting it out. This had nothing to do with the property but a domestic dispute involving police and emt made sleeping hard one night."
La Bahia Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was perfect"
Surf City Inn and Suites
10/10 Excellent
"A great place to stay while working in the area, However I would not recommend for a family on vacation. Bad part of town with nairdowells."
Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Nice modern property. Good sized rooms. Outdoor pool + Jacuzzi. Great breakfast buffet."
Beach Street Inn and Suites
8/10 Good
"This is a super relaxing place with a low-key, chill vibe. The room was directly overlooking the beach and there were Adirondack chairs to enjoy. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Very stylish and comfortable. My only small niggles are that the ocean front balcony rooms are three flights of stairs down from reception with no elevator. I imagine someone would have helped me with my bag if I asked, but nobody offered. Also, the balcony rooms all share one big balcony so when I went out for my glass of sunset wine it's more like a big, shared patio. Still, I enjoyed it quite a lot."
Ocean Pacific Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Very convenient location to the beach!"
Hotel Solares
10/10 Excellent
"I would recommend this stay"
Dream Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Great place to stay"
