Top Pacific Avenue Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome. Coming back in a week."

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Staff was helpful and polite. Balcony and balcony furniture needs a good cleaning."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"None"

The Aqua Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"Convenient location! Staff were very responsive and accommodating. Comfortable room, bed. I appreciated the coffee machine and fridge!"

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and parking was comfortable. It was nice having lunch on the front patio."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"My biggest question would be why on earth are the towels grey…? They don’t look clean even if they are, but also they don’t look like the color is intentionally chosen… they’re pale grey and look as though they just don’t get washed properly."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t possibly give this resort enough stars. Exceeds expectations with the complimentary bottle of wine and snacks in the room, motion activated lighting under bathroom counters to guide the way to the toilet at night, the low step in the shower to put your leg on to shave. The pool was fantastic, as was the Aperol Spritz. The location could not have been better. Valet parking so easy. Helpful, effective staff. Everywhere I looked there was some decorative accent impressive enough to photograph. I could hear the ocean from my pool view room. I’m leaving against my will, can’t wait to go back. When I get home I guarantee no one will greet me with a smile and glass of champagne!"

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Value for your money. Beautiful and very spacious rooms!"

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. All the people had left the area. Quiet. Reasonable. Thank you."
