Lower Ocean Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Lower Ocean, Santa Cruz

"We stayed in the family suite, which had three beds, a kitchen, and a nice bathroom. We had 4 pillows on each bed and plenty of towels for our 3-night stay. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The location of this property cannot be beat! We were 4 minutes away from everything. We would definitely stay here again."

"Nice view. Small parking lot"

"We went out and ate locally at restaurants but the hotel was overall pleasant. It has a very nice view of the ocean! If you’re 6’ or taller you might hit the shower head but otherwise quite good! I would go there again. 🙂"

"Very welcoming, near the boardwalk. Friendly staff."

"Pool seating is so comfy and cozy. Hot tub is super warm and has powerful jets! "

"Had to check in/out and discuss any issues over a kiosk that was outside and it was pouring rain. Tv did not work the entire time we were there. Loved how close it was to the boardwalk and wharf"

"The staff was wonderful. That’s where it ended. Hotel was predominantly occupied by homeless government occupants which cased us on and around the property making for a very uncomfortable coexistence. Furthermore, the rooms lacked ALL basic amenities expected in a hotel- No luggage rack for suitcases, no tissues, no washcloths, and no ironing board or iron. This hotel was also very dirty in the bathrooms. When opening the bath mat, pubic hair was embedded in towel mat. This hotel was expensive at $194 per night and was really an uncomfortable experience. Highly recommend you spend your money elsewhere. The atmosphere with the homeless encampment was extremely off putting. It should be MANDATORY that Hotels.com have the property inform that government subsidized occupants are on premises."

"The hotel is incredibly mediocre with very minimal to offer and a ton to deter. In the pros, the floor is hardwood and the service was fine. In the cons, you’re gonna need some medication to fall asleep in the first floor. You can hear everything in the room upstairs, the entire room disgusting with missed spots and stains in the bed sheets. The room smells like cheap air fresheners mixed with mold. In all, I’m glad I only needed to stay in this hotel for less than a day as I’ve would’ve went insane from the amount of noise made from upstairs. Wouldn’t recommend at all spend your money and night elsewhere."

"Quiet and near all the places we wanted to visit. The bar at the hotel was great. "
