As youngsters, we loved the convenient location of the hotel, just across the street from the lively Boardwalk. It was great to have easy access to all the carnival rides and attractions. Additionally, the breakfast muffins and coffee were a delicious way to start our day.

Felt safe, no reason to complain.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location was perfect - right next to the boardwalk and close to everything we wanted to see in this city. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The breakfast was a highlight, with a delicious spread of coffee, bagels, cereal, yogurt, scones. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. We also appreciated the spacious parking area near the beach, making it convenient for us to explore the area.

Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

Our stay at Carousel Beach Inn was amazing! The location couldn't have been better, just across the street from the Boardwalk. The hotel has been well-kept, with fresh paint and modern decor. The beds were incredibly soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep for the entire family. Despite being so close to the Boardwalk, the noise was minimal once the windows and doors were closed. The continental breakfast had a good variety, including delicious scones, muffins, and bagels. The staff were gracious, friendly, and quick to resolve any issues. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with convenient amenities like a fridge and microwave. The hot water and hand-held shower wand were a plus. The artwork on the walls added a nice touch. I highly recommend this hotel for a family trip.

Although everything else was satisfactory, the beds at Carousel Beach Inn were quite uncomfortable. The mattress consisted of an older, metal springed frame placed on a sheet metal frame, which squeaked loudly and lacked proper support.

We recently stayed at a hotel in Santa Cruz and the best part of our stay was the genuine hospitality of the front desk ladies, Molly and Val. They were fun, knowledgeable, and even called us when our room was ready for an early check-in. The hotel itself was clean, quiet, and in an amazing location. If you plan to spend your day at the beach and boardwalk, it's so convenient to just walk right across the street to drop off your belongings or change. Plus, parking is free and hassle-free!

Nothing bad to say. 🙌

our honeymoon stay at the beach inn in santa cruz far exceeded our expectations. the friendly staff, impeccable cleanliness, and unbeatable location right by the boardwalk made our trip unforgettable. we highly recommend the beach inn to anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway.

Clean and comfortable rooms with ocean and Boardwalk views. Complimentary breakfast with delicious raspberry white chocolate scones. Perfect for bigger groups of friends.

Felt very happy, nothing to complain about.

Despite being so close to all the action, the room was surprisingly quiet. The front office staff were friendly and helpful, making our check-in process smooth. The continental breakfast provided was simple, but it was sufficient to start our day. I also appreciated the convenience of having a parking lot available. a great experience at the Carousel Beach Inn.

We were pleasantly surprised when we were given an upgraded room, and the breakfast options were more than sufficient to start our day. The location right by the beach made it a convenient and enjoyable stay.

Great location just steps away from the main attraction. Rooms are clean and have a nice patio to enjoy the surroundings. Breakfast items are available in the morning.

Thin walls made it hard to sleep due to noise from other guests.

Great location, right across from the beach and Boardwalk. The room was clean and modern. The staff, especially the younger lady at the front desk, was very friendly and welcoming.

The beds were creaky and not very comfortable. We were promised a room with a view but ended up with a view of a roof.

This hotel is in a fantastic location, directly across the street from the main entrance to the beach and boardwalk. The rooms were clean and quiet, and I appreciated the little patio where I could relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the city at night. The availability of breakfast items every morning was a big plus, especially when traveling with children.

The mattress in the room was a bit lumpy, which made it slightly uncomfortable to sleep on. Additionally, there was no coffee maker in the room, but luckily I brought my own.

Great location, very close to the beach and boardwalk. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice view. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The breakfast was not very satisfying, mostly sweets and not very healthy options. Some noise in the rooms facing the front, due to sea lions and guests keeping their balcony doors open at night.

The location of this hotel is fantastic. It is right next to the beach and very close to the Boardwalk amusement park. It is also near several inexpensive restaurants. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean and functional.

The walls were thin and we could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway.

I booked this room for visiting family and we all loved it! It's PERFECT for Boardwalk visits! The front desk provided exceptional customer service. I'll book the Carousel Beach Inn any time friends and family come for a visit.

Recommend this hotel.
