The property was in a good location, 2 doors down there's an excellent sandwich shop. Its walking distance to the major street, Pacific, where there are shops and restaurants and also Trader Joes. The beds were comfy. The room was nicely decorated and clean. The air conditioner was a little loud but we got used to it. The gentleman at check in was very kind. He came up to out room immediately when I couldnt figure out how to work the tv. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Stay at Seaside Inn

Enjoyed two nights here. Nice and clean. We had the remodeled king room. Bed was very comfortable. It was very well maintained and relaxing. Close enough to take a nice stroll to the boardwalk and beach.

This was a great place for us to stay- We have some chemical sensitivities and appreciated the cleanliness without too much chemical smells! (We went for a walk and another hotel nearby had such strong scented cleaners, we could smell it from the street! The room had a window we could open, and our request for it to be open before our arrival was granted. (Also no carpets and a place where pets don't stay was helpful for our sensitivities.) The staff were very helpful, perhaps the best we've ever encountered. We arrived well past midnight, weary from travels and were welcomed cheerily. The next day the airlines delivered wayward baggage - and the staff made sure we received it promptly. We may not travel to Santa Cruz again in the future, but if we ever go back, I would want to stay here again: clean and comfortable (and overall quiet). Great location, too - we walked all over from there!

Got an early check-in without having to pay an extra fee. The room seemed OK, but there was noticeable noise from the people in the next room and above. There was an assistance bar next to the toilet that appeared to have been installed after the toilet since it made sitting there like you were being crowded off. Most annoying was the lack of outlets to plug in electronic device chargers. We moved the credenza out and unplugged the fridge and microwave so we could charge our phones.
