From check in to walking the boardwalk- enjoying the ocean and downtown nightlife this property was a hit. So glad we chose to stay here with our fur baby!

Super clean. Comfortable.

Wonderful huge two-bedroom room with gobs of space. Handicap bathroom was amazing. Only negative was that handicap parking was far from elevator and elevator was far from room, but it wasn’t too bad. My elderly mom managed. They’re also really strict about not leaving dog alone in the room, which made going out a hassle (had to leave dog in the car during dinner).

Street noise of cars and people at night

Nice place, clean too. Not quiet during the day just expect that, didn’t bother us as we weren’t there much. Slept fine the beds and pillows were okay not great but for the price point 5/5

Safe, clean and convenient. Well lit. Clean and comfortable room. Staff was very nice.

This was close to the warf and boardwalk with just a short walk. Clean and nice. No breakfast, hot tubs only were open. Lots of stairs to get up to your rooms. There is an elevator, but not near our room at all. Fun view of the soccer fields.

Very clean

Nice Hotel...great location..walk to the surf!! Awesome staff!! Will stay there again!!

Love the bed and the pool! The rest of the room could use a refresh. Paint and such

Location is desireable.

Central location to many areas.

My kids and I enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Very clean rooms

The microwave’s light and fridge sound are fat too noisy. Also there was a lot of noise from the top floor. Staff was very friendly

Dear Suzanne,I am so sorry to read you had noise issues during your stay with us. Our office is staffed overnight to monitor our property and we want to deal with noise issues right away, in hopes of rescuing your stay with us! We do recognize outside commotion can occasionally make our hotel a bit noisy.

Dear Kylee,Thank you so much for staying with us and taking the time to review your visit. You are right, our location is pretty great. Ocean Pacific Lodge is just a short walk away from the beach and boardwalk area and an equally short distance to downtown Santa Cruz. Not to brag our anything but we are a fantastic choice for any traveler!
