Top Pacific Avenue Hotel Reviews

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I’m a mom that was traveling alone with my 2 kids. What I really appreciated, even tho it was a open air type hotel, all entry points to access hallways and rooms had locked gates that required keycard to access to hallways and bedroom doors, so that made me feel safer with the kids. It was like 10 steps to the front of the board walk, which was awesome! The whole reason we came, a little fun weekend at the boardwalk before school started again. I thought maybe it would he noisy being so close to boardwalk but we got back to hotel about 9pm and I had no problem getting my youngest to sleep, no loud noises from parking lot or park and we had a slider and balcony facing boardwalk parking lot. The free breakfast was great too! My kids LOVED getting to make their own waffles. For the cost of hotel, can’t beat it. I will 100% be coming back again. :) also, icing on top, I’ve stayed in other hotels and parking was a nightmare, this hotel had easy access parking at no extra cost AND they let me park a few hours before my check in time so I didn’t have to pay to park in the boardwalk parking lot. I was able to get a parking pass from hotel to park then we just came back a few hours later and checked into our room and went back to boardwalk."

"This, in my humble opinion, is the best place to stay in Santa Cruz. It’s DIRECTLY in the middle of town—it’s easy to get anywhere from the hotel. The property is adorable. The pool is great. The bar is open late and the food is good. The rooms are updated and super cute. Whenever friends come to see our daughter at UCSC, I always recommend it. We love it ."
