Top Younger Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great location, but parking was tight. Room was clean but run down. The tub tiles looked like it had mold and had the white paint covering the tiles."

Casablanca On The Beach

6/10 Okay

"The location was great & the staff was helpful but the property itself wasn’t well-maintained & the cleanliness was definitely not up to par. There was areas in the room that had rotting wood & multiple areas that needed to retracted. There was mold on the shower curtain, the floor hadn’t been swept & there were cockroaches in the bathroom. For how much we paid for this room I was definitely expecting a much better experience — not sure that I’d feel comfortable returning to this location."

Seaway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed at the Seaway Inn off and on for more than 30 years. It’s a beautiful, updated smaller property that is near the Santa Cruz Pier and Boardwalk. It’s had different owners over the years and has been updated. The beds, and pillows are very comfortable. The rooms are spacious, and very quiet. You don’t really hear the street noise but can hear the waves from the ocean. Our king room offered a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee. The staff are friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Thank you for another wonderful visit."
