Cons: gardners showed way to early disrupted our privacy, wood on sides of bed makes it hard to climb into bed wood at rear of bed ok. To make room complete japanese theme they should offer kimono robes, just a thought. We had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Pros: Clean hotel right on the water. Fall asleep with the sounds of waves crashing on the waves below. Nice little happy hour with cheese, crackers & wine. Comfortable beds & spacious bathroom with a separate toilet closet. We had the King bed and a twin rollout. Kids (7 & 9) shared the rollout- they were so tired from playing all night at the Boardwalk that they didn't even whine about their proximity to each other! We all had a great night's sleep.

Pros: Very clean and they really payed attention to detail. The view was so pleasant. Loved the court yards just steps from the room. Beds were comfortable. Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Accommodated parking after check in so could run to the wharf before leaving. Cookies were very yummy. If you are a super healthy eater-breakfast would fit right in with your lifestyle. Found out they had cottages on the property and would consider for our next vacation.

Found out they had cottages on the property and would consider for our next vacation.
Cons: Room was right by traffic area and iron gate that you heard slam shut every time someone goes in/out-had early wake up time due to people leaving early and using gate-combine that with someone had very late check in time above us and you could hear their suitcase rollers and every step they took-didn't get to sleep as we had hoped. Would not stay in the room again-would pass on and try for another room location at their site.. Even after arriving early check in and waited for room requested not to be in this type of room-still was given high tragic area-we were told only 2 rooms to choose from-since the room we were at was the closet to the area-no other room could be closer. Would have like to have the other room away from the gate as requested.

Pros: After spending a few days in a tradional style hotel, it was so nice to stay at a B&B. The boutique atmosphere makes you feel right at home. As soon as we arrived there was a social hour where couples were enjoying wine and cheese and a glass of wine on one of the shaded decks. We checked in and were immediately offered homemade cookies. The staff was very friendly, the room we stayed in had character and was exceptionally clean. My daughter was exhausted from all the traveling and whenever she walked into the bathroom and saw a rubber duck on the edge of the tub, she seemed at peace. I ran her a bath and she played with the duck and went to bed. Our only regret was that we only stayed one night.

Cons: The skylight over the bed lit up the room too early in the morning. They really need to find a way to block out the light. Also, we needed to use the pullout couch, and it was very uncomfortable. Saying that, we would most likely find a different room within the B&B, as we really enjoyed or stay. They did an exceptional job creating a cozy ambiance. It reinforced that we should always book B&B's when traveling.

Cons: To many stairs to the beach, maybe not the best location for seniors or disabled.

Pros: The rooms were adorable. Location ideal.
Cons: POOL FREEZING. The staff assured me and showed me the boiler room where it said the pool was heated to 80 degrees. However the pool was COLD. The 5 year old who will swim for hours only lasted 20 minutes and then took a 20 minute shower to warm up. She has never done this before. The adults did not want to swim. We stayed at the pool side because the pool is a huge deal to us.
6.5 Good
Pros: Right across the street from the beach? Boardwalk and peir.
Cons: Super small rooms. Might be fine for 2 people but beyond 2 there is not enough room to mive around or even sit down. I usually stay at the dream inn which has much larger rooms. They cost more too though. To me its worth the added cost.

"Patio", which is a little table and chairs in the walkway in front of each room, and a bigger lounge area in the courtyard with fire pit was nice.

"Patio", which is a little table and chairs in the walkway in front of each room, and a bigger lounge area in the courtyard with fire pit was nice.
Cons: Windows didn't lock. That was uncomfortable given proximity to downtown and SCs many shady characters roaming it, but the building itself is locked with keyed entry. Some wear and tear to the room, like a few large scuffs on the walls and cleaning wear marks on bath furnishings.. Cute and clean place but inside room and outside building just wasn't as polished as it appears in booking pictures. Easy fixes the hotel should invest in to polish it up for their price range. Limited parking, but parking spots become available at dinner time.
When you stay at Pacific Blue Inn, you'll be within a 15-minute walk of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Main Beach. Free perks include WiFi and self parking. A terrace and a garden are other highlights, and rooms offer up nice touches like fireplaces and pillowtop beds with premium linens.

Pros: I like the location and the service.
Cons: This hotel at $600/night is wildly overpriced. It should be $250-300 at most. I didn't even get free parking (had to pay $25/day) even though I was completely ripped off. Unfortunately I had no other viable options.
5.4 Okay

They automatically charge you a $25/night Parking fee whether you park there or not.

Staff was very helpful and kind when I complained about the pool issues, the manager of the restaurant let me know that they're going to hire a pool attendant.
Cons: This hotel is a distance from the beach and on a very busy road so I feel like the people including myself book it because of the pool area which has a great design and an area to eat outside and enjoy the sun. There were clear rules around the pool, no kids under 14 in the hot tub, no children not potty trained in the pool, no jumping or diving from the sides of the pool. No employee of the hotel or restaurant was enforcing these rules when I was there for a 2 day getaway from my home in San Francisco. I witnessed a baby in a diaper in the heated pool, there were children under 14, under 5 years old and babies, with their parents in the hot tub, and adults and children dive bombing the pool so I was getting splashed with water when I was trying to relax. This hotel is in the Marriott chain, Marriott knows what's safe and posted all of the rules, the hotel needs to enforce them so everyone, people with kids and without, can enjoy their stay.
9.1 Excellent
Pros: The staff is actually warm and welcoming, not just cold or professional. The rooms are smart and clean and the beds are unusually comfortable. The decor and cleanliness of the pool area is refreshing; the bar attached to the pool deck is a very nice touch.
Cons: The jets in the spa were weak to non-existent. I am a "spa snob" though, so my judgment may be overstated. I have a bad back, so I always look for places with a spa. I am, nevertheless, glad that the Paradox had a spa: the water was hot and the water was clean. For that, I am grateful. However, without working jets, I have to give the Paradox less than a perfect rating. Please excuse my snobbery.
5.1 Okay
Pros: Friendly staff, clean, nice pool , big shower
Cons: Eco designer's bad dream. Tree stump coffee table in room to match wood grain tile, cast iron squiireels hanging from dining room hall. Besides having a radio tower directly opposite the rear rooms of the hotel, the bathroom noise was incredible. Jet flush toilet, bathroom fan to wake the dead and bathroom barn door on metal track . What were they thinking? Fire alarm at 4:12 am, no robes in room, chipped water glass, clock radio alarm went off at 5:30 we did not set. Waited for 20 minutes at breakfast to be told that they could not soft boil an egg, so we cancelled breakfast and left.

The Solaire in house restaurant is quite upscale and offers quite a variety of sumptuous eating options. Overall an excellent hotel with courteous staff.
Cons: The rooms are a bit small, which probably is due to the expensive real estate and demand for rooms in the area. The room service is quite slow, if at all they turn up to service you, which was slightly disappointing. Parking could be a problem if you get in late in night, and the parking spots are quite close together. I was quite worried That someone is going to bang into my car while opening the door.

Cons: The hotel is sitting right along a road that sees a fair amount of traffic. Didn't really bother me since I was mostly out and about, but if you have trouble sleeping with traffic noise maybe this place isn't for you. Also, they do not serve breakfast, but provide you with a map and a list of places to eat in the area. There's no shortage of good places to eat very close by.

Pros: I arrived for a 3 night 4 day stay over 4th of July
The front desk was friendly however, not overly informative as I had heard them be to one of their preferred Hilton points member which was awkward. The layout of the hotel is clearly inconvenient. To get to my room on the 6th floor it required me to take an elevator to the 4th floor walk across to the other side of the building and take the 2nd elevator to the 6th walk across to the other end to reach my room.
The room was clean and nice just like the pictures. The view after you got over the parking lot was beautiful of the mountains.
For those who need it this hotel is "super dog friendly" and "family / little children" friendly as well.
As a single older adult I did not appreciate that the pool and hot tub was filled with kids no matter what time of the day you went. Two pools on the property would have been great.
Room service was exceptional, prompt reasonable and delicious I ordered a BLTA and it was well prepared they even added a fruit cup you could tell a chef prepared my meal. However, on my last morning I again ordered from room service. Same order but this time someone slapped a sandwich together used shredded lettuce on a BLTA ?? Who does that?
I did also go to the cafe for morning breakfast $15 buffet it had a pretty good selection. The welcoming staff lacked enthusiasm to welcoming you in.
The bar area was great and Christy, Kim and Alex were attentive and personable.
I did manage to lock myself out of my room as I put the room service tray out into the hall. I approached the hotel maid who was cleaning the room next door. She was a petrified deer in the head lights gal as I explained my situation. She proceeded to tell me:
1) she didn't have a phone to call the front desk for me
2) she wouldn't use the room phone to call the front desk nor would lil suzanna allow me to use that phone.
3) sorry no can help was her response
4) I found the house phone at the other end of the floor and called the front desk they stated tell the maid that so n so said it was ok to open the door I returned to the maid she replied ok and kept vacuuming clueless to our conversation I had with her
5) I gave her a few minutes to finish the task at hand & walked back to the maid to say helllooo can you open the door? She then LIED that her key doesn't open any of the rooms. REALLY? Then how did you open every room on the floor?
6) I walked back to the house phone reexplained my situation they said they would send someone with a master key.
7) 25 min later still no one so I took the long walk and 2 elevators later to the front desk barefoot to top it off the hallway connecting the elevators had just been shampoo'd so now my feet are wet yuck!!! So I got two new keys and got back in my room lesson learned!!!
15 min later an additional room key was shoved under my door purpose????
For the price this place isn't as luxurious as the pics suggests
Needless to say, I won't be back!

Cons: Then there was one employee that called himself the manager on duty. Now Ive been in management for 30 years and I would have to say that even at a fast ood establishment would have at the least suspended this individual with a written warning if they were worth keeping as an employee. His name is Kenny and he wad rude and condescending and wasn't willing to do anything to make it easier or more convenient for me. Not very Hilton like in my opinion.

Pros: Conveniently located to the highway. Friendly front desk staff. Parking was convenient with multiple options in front and back of hotel. Ease of use with the restaurant/lounge in the lobby.
Cons: Housekeeping staff was noisy in the hallway speaking to each other. They started knocking on doors at 9am to clean the room when checkout is at noon. Also the AC unit in the room made a loud clunking noise when turning on and off.

Pros: The hotel itself is very pretty. Love that the windows in the rooms open all the way!
Cons: Service, especially in the bar and rrestaurant were very slow and not attentive. We had one meal that was good with great service but the other two, especially breakfast were extremely slow. We weren't asked if we would like a drink even!
2.2 Mediocre
Pros: The hot breakfast was decent.
Cons: First room had a extremely noisy refrigerator and a screaming baby next door. Front desk said I could unplug the fridge, but I couldn't. I needed the fridge for medicine. I was then offered ear plugs. Really earplugs? I have never heard of such a thing. Bed was too soft elevator setup was ridiculous. One elevator will take you part way up and then you have to walk down two corridors to get to the second elevator to get to the higher floors.

Pros: The room, furnishings, and overall site are well kept and very clean. The bed was comfortable.
Everything was in order for our 1 night visit. The young man at the front desk was very helpful and polite. I accidentally booked the wrong evening and did not realize it until I called to confirm a late arrival. He was able to get us a room that night and resolve the change via the booking site I used.
Breakfast had a good select of cereals, fruit, breads, yogurts and more (that was all I was interested in) - there was plenty of seating available. Coffee and a limited selection were available outside in the courtyard - a nice touch.
This facility is a great find for the price vs. national brands in the area. I would return here without hesitation on future visits to Santa Cruz.

Cons: When my wife and I first walked into our room it smelled like stale cleaning products, we assumed the room had been cleaned the day before but since the window was closed it did not air the room out. Once we turned the A/C on it was significantly better. Also our mattress had a rather large dip in the middle of it which caused a little difficult sleeping And the pillows where very small and flat.

The room was very clean, I thought the layout was a bit odd but we managed and it actually worked out great! The bed was super comfortable! I'm sad we couldn't stay longer because the rain started to come in and we wanted to make it back home before the storm came. The pool area from where I could see on the third floor looked decent. Each floor had ice and vending machines which was awesome! I wasn't hungry so we didn't look at the breakfast options and I'm bummed I didn't. The staff were pleasant. Overall, we'd definitely come back! Well worth the money!

Each floor had ice and vending machines which was awesome! I wasn't hungry so we didn't look at the breakfast options and I'm bummed I didn't. The staff were pleasant. Overall, we'd definitely come back! Well worth the money!
Cons: The jetted tub were a little outdated but it was huge!
6.8 Good
Pros: The location is fantastic, close to the beach and downtown. Love that they have bicycle rentals now. The staff is great, very friendly and professional. The pool is nice and clean.
Cons: We stayed here 2 years ago and it seems to have gone downhill since then. The furniture was beat up, the linens soiled. It was a busy weekend in Santa Cruz and the rates were very high as well.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Clean & big. Very spacious.
Cons:
When you stay at Ocean Pacific Lodge, you'll be within a 15-minute walk of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Main Beach. Guests can enjoy the outdoor pool, and surfing/boogie boarding and segway rentals/tours are nearby. Rooms feature conveniences like refrigerators and microwaves.
