Top Boardwalk Bowl Hotel Reviews

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Nice quite and clean rooms"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"No matter if price is high or low this hotel has everything here makes it so convenient, for you smokers ashtrays everywhere don’t need to walk off property, pet area with bags, staff all so nice and smiles, they even do copies if you need them, very quite, sauna, pool, attractions walking distant.. Definitely worth the stay"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"The spa turned out to be inaccessible without pre-booking. That went for the sauna also which we would have liked to use. The location was perfect for downtown strolls. Be forewarned, but if you have a car, valet parking is $50 a day. The facilities are lovely and not overcrowded. even on Memorial Day weekend with many families in residence. Everyone seemed charming and well-behaved. I had booked a room with a balcony and partial ocean view which turned out to be right over parked cars on a side street! The front desk moved me upon request to a room overlooking the pool which was a huge improvement. Hotel restaurant for breakfast and informal meals is across the entrance courtyard, and there is nowhere onsite for a quick coffee and pasty. Rooms have Nespresso machines but not enough creamer for two servings! They do, however, give guests free water and snacks like taffy and caramel popcorn!"
