Santa Cruz was surf central California long before the Beach Boys sang about it. The Surfing Museum in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse tells stories of those who have braved some of the world’s best waves.
Overlooking the ocean rollers are the Coconut Grove Ballroom and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - the oldest amusement park in the state of CA, and the last original one on the West Coast. Its historic carousel, rollercoasters and rides are a colourful backdrop to Cowell’s Beach, best viewed from the Sky Glider cable cars.
Jutting into Monterey Bay is the wharf where sea lions bask and pelicans decide on their next meal. Seafood restaurants are abundant here and the bars provide lively nightlife. Pacific Avenue is the main shopping area and one street away is the Museum of Art & History.
Unsurprisingly for a surfer hotspot, the city has a liberal outlook and is known for political activism - a far cry from the era when the Santa Cruz Mission was established. The mission is now a state park alongside Natural Bridges Beach and the Big Basin Redwoods in forested hills behind the city, home to the gravity-defying Mystery Spot.
Booking.com’s Santa Cruz accommodation includes pet-friendly motels, hotels with hot tubs and cheap inns near UCSC.

I believe the hotel is a nice location to stay, they might consider getting better maintanance, and cleaning help, some one that can speak english, to better help the guest. Jessica, was very polite, and tried to help as much as possible. There were just a lot of little things, they could have been prevented, especially when you pay the high price charged there. When booking, I thought I was booking direct with the property, never knew bookings, com, jumped in to the equasion. So when I asked if they honored AAA, or AARP discounts, they said no because our room was booked by a third party. Also asked for room with 2 queens, was told they were sold out, which forced us to book 2 seperate rooms, after arriveing, found out they had suites for four people. I think this was a money thing, for bookings.com

It was quiet and wasn't too crowded . Beaches and restrooms were clean.wheather wasn't all that warm and it did rain hour or so after we got to the beach pretty heavy we had to leave in a rush. All in all, kids were very happy with trip they can't wait to return for their summer trip.

The location was the best!
The location was the best! The stairs are a lot of work if you have issues. I can't believe the Boardwalk is closed on fridays! If you are planning a friday night adventure at the boardwalk you will need to find something else to do.

Santa Cruz gets sleazy fast (a lot of justly disaffected youth manifesting the consequences of a tattered social fabric & like), but the near-perfect climate year-round, the surrounding (2nd or 3rd growth, but still....) redwoods, challenging cols (lots of category 2s & 1s), vast fields of agriculture (it is delightful to cycle through the fields on what amount to ruelles; these areas are intensely redolent of earth, manure & whatever is being cultivated, plus it makes one appreciate just how back-breaking is the labor that goes into producing one's strawberries & artichokes & like) & vegan eating options (especially the bakeries) make any visit worthwhile, especially if you're from an area that does not have that year-round ideal climate. I recommend cycling up SkyLine or HighLand or Empire Grade or getting out in the fields toward MonteRey. Country roads are nearly uniformly narrow, but traffic is mostly light (minus HighWay 9) & drivers generally courteous (again, minus HighWay 9). Santa Cruz even has the mark of any good location -- a nearby Grocery Outlet -- which, due to its location on the edge of town (it may actually be in Soquel), is easy to integrate into the end of a ride for some yummy and cheap vegan delights =)

A small treasure and throw-back to a different era: the Boardwalk on the beach, opened in 1907, with a roller coaster and carousel from near that time frame, the tradition & history of the surfing venue, the old (but renovated) motels along the beachfront, and the labyrinth of mid-century housing, some refreshed, some not, make this a worthwhile visit! There are lovely walks along the pier, where sea lions sun themselves, along the coast, where surfers wait for the perfect wave, and along the trails city streets, festive with many cultures represented.

Pros:
We were upgraded to a big, 2-bedroom unit.
Pros:
We were upgraded to a big, 2-bedroom unit. It was very nice, comfortable and modern. The beds were comfortable. The internet was fast.
The people who work the front desk are super nice, friendly, and helpful. Parking is easy and free. Location is good.
Cons:
The water did not run hot, only fairly warm. There was no plug for the bathtub. Noise is an issue, as the walls are very thin. The “Do Not Disturb”, tag kept falling off the doorknob and the maid came in when not wanted.
We loved the fact, that the motel was located next to the pier or beach walk of Santa Cruz. However we were unlucky, because it was closed on the night that we arrived (we only spent one night there). The check-in staff, was friendly, no issues. The parking spots, free parking, were super convenient, and the security shut our trunk that we left open (thanks for that!). The hallways, that leads to the rooms, look quite old and shabby, they could need some improvement. The rooms were alright, motel style, nothing fancy, but clean.
I thought the the staff what incredibly helpful which helped to add to the general experience. The man sitting at the main desk gave me recommendations of places to visit that were nearby and was Ivette knowledgeable about the area. The price of the room was the cheapest in the area but the room exceed our expectations in cleanliness and was very spacious to the point that this will be our go to spot every time we visit Santa Cruz! It about an 8 minute walk to the boardwalk which was great and saved us from paying for parking.
The staff is friendly and check in was super easy. Parking is slim there, but they have more spots in the back of the hotel that were very convenient. You can't beat the location and that's what I paid for. Walking distance to everything great about Santa Cruz. They also are one of the few hotels that allow pets.
The quality and warmth of the welcome was amazing. I arrived without any plans, and was recommended great activities and places to eat / drink, not only in Santa Cruz but all of California. The house has a lot of charm too, and if you want to be close to the beach and boardwalk, the location is great!
It can be seen that the interior of the building has been renovated. Although the room is not big, it is clean, fully furnished, the bed is very comfortable, and the price is moderate. Not far from the beach and restaurants. I will choose here again next time I come to Santa Cruz.
Location was excellent. Room was big and roomy for us. Could have used some mirrors in the rooms. 5 ladies in one unit and 1 two mirrors makes it difficult to get ready in the morning. Loved the Santa Cruz feel at the hotel. Would stay at the Salt Water Inn again☀️❤️
Very comfortable hotel with lots of great amenities. Nice bar, pool, hot tub. King room is spacious with a super-comfortable bed. Location on Ocean is central with easy auto access to all that Santa Cruz has to offer.
The room included a kitchenette, which we were not expecting. All was clean and it didn’t have a funky smell, like some places do. Overall I liked the place and plan to stay there again the next time I visit Santa Cruz.
First time in Santa Cruz. Hotel is right across from the boardwalk. Very busy traffic for the boardwalk . Parking at hotel was fantastic in a gated parking lot. Rooms were clean and nice. 2 minute walk to beach.
Very cute and comfy hostel. Nice staff, very clean.
Great location-only a few steps to the wharf, the beach and the downtown. Cute little city Santa Cruz is, just like the hostel.
Location was great! Will definitely be staying there again if I visit Santa Cruz. Was able to walk to everything. Great place for my family and was dog friendly!
The hotel was what I expected for the value, and staff were very friendly and helpful. Easy walking distance to the boardwalk, wharf, and downtown Santa Cruz.
