Last minute solo getaway
Had a great stay. Great location, walkable to multiple places. Bed was a little on the hard side for me but still comfortable. Room is very clean and spacious!

Comfortable and clean
The Ocean Pacific Lodge was great. The check-in was super quick. The staff was friendly and the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and microwave. The hotel is in a great location about 3 blocks from the pier/boardwalk and maybe 1/2 mile from downtown. I will stay here again.

Great stay at Ocean Pacific Lodge
I enjoyed my stay at the Ocean Pacific Lodge. The staff were very pleasant and professional. While just a few blocks from the beach, the street is a bit quieter, and easy walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz with more shopping, food, and entertainment off the boardwalk. Be sure to grab a coffee and breakfast wrap from the Pacific Point Market & Cafe across the street!

Fit the bill
Clean rooms and excellent location for a night or two in Santa Cruz. Pet friendly which is big plus. Rooms are a little small and noise travels from room to room.

Our go-to hotel. Great location for a stroll to the boardwalk or a stroll to downtown. and the front desk staff are very friendly. Beds are comfortable. Bring cash for the little market across the street; their burritos are good!

Always my go-to when coming to my home town for a reboot. This time, sadly, room smelled unfresh. Will be back, will ask 4 a different room. I love the location, pool and hot tub- i walk to all my activities!
