Find Hotels in Santa Cruz (CA), United States

The bunk beds are rather old hence they make creaking sounds whenever I turn. I tried to restrict my movements or turn gently to minimize the disturbances to other guests in the room. Had a really sore body when I woke up probably due to trying to sleep in one position. Overall, this is still value for money - it is close to the boardwalk and the place is generally clean.

The room was lacking some basic amenities and some lights were not working. The bed was not comfortable.

The floor was black and sticky. Hair on the shower head, counter sticky too. When I complained to the Manager/Owner, he said he would thouroghly in vestigate the matter. BS, his unit was 20 feet away. Nothing more than words to make me go away. This place should be closed for health reasons. I took my shoes off to sleep, and walked 15 feet to the toilet, felt the sticky/slippery floor on my bare feet. turned on the lights and discoved the soles of my feet were black. I took a coouple of pictures of that and the bathroom. Showed it to the owner. Nothing other than sorry. Said thats all he would do for me. Dont stay here, the area has a large concenttartion of crack heads that sleep, under the bridge, next to the property.

It was good, I've stayed here twice now and its a pretty good room near the beach and the boarwalk. There are some cool outdoor tanning/sitting areas around the pool and on the second floor too. If you are super picky about your hotel/motel rooms you be a little turned off by the room.

It's an old motel and the facilities in the room is pretty run down. Suggest to have a renovation. The heater is faulty and the weather is cold for the 2 nights stay. Managed to get a heater fan from reception but it's too noisy to turn on throughout the night.

Nice clean room, staff friendly & close to the boardwalk. Santa Cruz diner was close & had great breakfast choices. I highly recommend to stay at Oceana Inn while visiting Santa Cruz.

If you traveled all this way to stay in the hotel all day this may not be the place for you. If you want a central location that you can walk to the many attractions of Santa Cruz that is clean, affordable, secure and comfortable then you have come to the right hotel. This is a hotel that focuses on the fundamentals of the hospitality industry.

Adequate for short stay. Convenient location with subway sandwich shop and drug store nearby. Swimming pool looks good but I did not use it. Rates for most hotels go up substantially for Friday and Saturday night stays in the Santa Cruz area.

Fantastic stay, bed was super comfy, hosts were fantastic and the location is perfect. I would highly recommend this place for those visiting Santa Cruz.

We were pleasantly surprised at how clean and neat the rooms were. Lots of natural light, everything you might need while away from home, wifi, microwave, fridge, iron, coffee maker, an actual table with chairs one could sit at comfortably. I especially appreciated the fact that it doesn't smell like a motel/hotel, I always travel with lysol and a scented candle. Happily there was no need to use either. Also, the lace curtains and the antique furnishings gave it a homey feeling. We will definitely return to this little inn by the sea.

This was the best place I might have ever stayed. Simple but clean, cool, no trouble At all, super nice and helpful staff both stays.... we loved it so much we came back 2 nights later. My boyfriend and I both felt the same instantly and can’t wait to stay here again. Highly recommend this lovely happy cozy place. Sam and Jay were both spectacular! Superfriendly and helpful.

It was all good. In case we return to lovely Santa Cruz some day, we could stay here again.

I stayed one week and I loved it , bed very comfortable , great and helpful staff , loved the breakfast and waffle maker ..very good wifi and tv . The only worry is sometimes the noise of the trash truck early morning ... but overall a great stay and good value for money . Will stay there if I return to Santa Cruz .

For the discounted price I got it was worth the money. Great location right by the boardwalk. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was ok, would have loved eggs, potatoes and meat. Chairs had tears in them, but for most part room was nice

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived and entered our room. Good sized room, comfy bed, great bathroom!! But breakfast with make-it-yourself waffles was the icing on the cake! The motel is a short walk to the Santa Cruz boardwalk and also into town. My kids wanted to stay longer! My only complaint (not even a complaint really - just an observation) was that the floors were a bit dirty but that’s to be expected when they open up straight to the outside world. Thanks for a nice stay!

Critical points: If you are calling to reserve a room ahead of time, request one on the same side of the street as the office. Keurig machine in room, but actual continental breakfast was pretty disappointing. Details: About 2/3 of the rooms in this motel are on the same side of the street as the office where you check in, with a pretty large parking lot and a gas station next door. The other 1/3 are across the 4 lane street, with a tiny and dangerous parking lot that I absolutely hated. It was extremely hard to maneuver in my small car, and while most of the spots were covered, they were so small that almost everyone there deliberately parked over the line so that no one would try to park directly beside them. This was only a problem on this side of the street, but it significantly affected my enjoyment of my stay. The room was fairly standard; somewhat small, queen bed, table with 4 chairs, fridge, ironing board, bathroom. It was clean but smelled pretty musty when I first got in. I was told that it was an easy walk to the popular downtown area of Santa Cruz, but I didn't attempt it. The breakfast room was attached to the office, and it had extremely limited seating and disappointing food. The parking lot was the only truly significant problem I had, but I feel that I paid more than the room was worth.

Definitely one of the cleaner hotels in Santa Cruz. About 10 min walk to the boardwalk. This was my second time staying here.

We had a great time here. Staff let us park our car before even checking in that day. Gave us late check out for free and had one of the best continental breakfasts I've ever seen. We were given a king bed, which was awesome and there was a spa bath in our room to top it all off! Would definitely come back here. So cheap and great.

Nice room. Walking distance going to Santa Cruz Boardwalk/ the beach. I would say I would like to come back here next time if I visit Santa Cruz Beach again. thumbs up!

only paid $89 for the room in June which is the high season. the price was great. had a king room. it was small but had just enough space. has a fridge and microwave and the air kept the room at a good temperature. they should really try and get black out curtains in the rooms as the curtains they have now are to think. Enjoyed the stay and would stay again.

Place was an absolute joy to stay in. The room was freshly renovated and it looked like I was the first person to stay in the room. Everything was brand new and room was oversize. Did not get to enjoy the complimentary breakfast as I had to leave before it started. Would highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is in a good location and within w2alking distance to both downtown and the beach/boardwalk. Nice swimming pool and the room is comfortable. The only issue I had was the internet did not work and the morning breakfast does not start until 7AM which if you have an early start, you miss it.

The inn was old-style and friendly. The room was roomy but no table to use for writing, etc. The pool hours ended a bit early. The surroundings were pleasant. Overall we had a pleasant stay.

We ordered a deluxe suite (2 bed, 2 room) on Agoda and received a "mini king suite" at the property (room 332) which had 1 room and a bed and a sofa. I selected an option (and paid for a more expensive option) for the bigger room and received what the Best Western staff said is one of the smallest rooms on the property. This was very dishonest and I do not trust this website as they sold me one thing and the property gave me something else. The room we received was 1 room with no doors separating the bed area from the bathroom sink and sofa area. It was clean, there was a shower (no tub) and had a strange window looking into the hallway. The mattress seemed like it was past it's prime and free breakfast wss ok.

So the room is definitely decent for the price.. it could have been cleaned a little better. We had a throw up stain on our covers at the bottom of the bed. They advertise that there is a hot tub here and they no longer have one!!! Which was a huge inconvenience due to the fact that’s The only reason i booked the room. Besides that the only other thing that sucked was parking. The lot is so small and cramped up it’s hard to come in and out at night if you are out late. Staff was nice, breakfast in the morning was pretty good. Nice location right by the freeway. They are located next door to comfort in and have all the same amenities plus hot tub and nicer rooms so i would recommend going there before coming here but if you rather pay less and don’t care about a hot tub it’s not to bad.

Although it was not in the center of Santa Cruz, it was a short drive to the boardwalk. The hotel is clean and breakfast was decent. We enjoyed our stay at this hotel
