Top Santa Cruz Wharf Hotel Reviews
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"I’m a mom that was traveling alone with my 2 kids. What I really appreciated, even tho it was a open air type hotel, all entry points to access hallways and rooms had locked gates that required keycard to access to hallways and bedroom doors, so that made me feel safer with the kids. It was like 10 steps to the front of the board walk, which was awesome! The whole reason we came, a little fun weekend at the boardwalk before school started again. I thought maybe it would he noisy being so close to boardwalk but we got back to hotel about 9pm and I had no problem getting my youngest to sleep, no loud noises from parking lot or park and we had a slider and balcony facing boardwalk parking lot. The free breakfast was great too! My kids LOVED getting to make their own waffles. For the cost of hotel, can’t beat it. I will 100% be coming back again. :) also, icing on top, I’ve stayed in other hotels and parking was a nightmare, this hotel had easy access parking at no extra cost AND they let me park a few hours before my check in time so I didn’t have to pay to park in the boardwalk parking lot. I was able to get a parking pass from hotel to park then we just came back a few hours later and checked into our room and went back to boardwalk."
Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"The spa was clean room was nice I loved it oh yes breakfast too was the 👌 best"
Casablanca On The Beach
10/10 Excellent
"Great stay. Luv this hotel"
Hotel Solares
10/10 Excellent
"Si me gustó casi todo solo la persona q nos atendió en staff estuvo algo pésimo"
Beach Street Inn and Suites
8/10 Good
"Location is fantastic , we were literally right on the seafront. The staff were lovely and friendly. The rooms are okay, they are a decent size, but really could do with a full refresh, bamboo blinds etc let a lot of light in, the beds were okay, the shower water pressure was pretty low. Nice feature to be able to cast to the TV from your devices .Its a great location, so if your main aim is to be close to the pier / boardwalk and downtown, this is great, but its not going to win any awards for room comfort. I would say its a 2 star room in a 4/5 star location"
Seaside Inn & Suites
8/10 Good
"Clean and good"
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
10/10 Excellent
"This, in my humble opinion, is the best place to stay in Santa Cruz. It’s DIRECTLY in the middle of town—it’s easy to get anywhere from the hotel. The property is adorable. The pool is great. The bar is open late and the food is good. The rooms are updated and super cute. Whenever friends come to see our daughter at UCSC, I always recommend it. We love it ."
Beachview Inn
10/10 Excellent
"This is our second year staying here. It’s so close to the beach and boardwalk. Practically across the street. Very friendly staff. Clean nice rooms. Will stay here again next year."
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"We were impressed by the room; it was very clean and cozy. The hotel is located near the ocean, within walking distance. We were very pleased."
