Top Santa Cruz Wharf Hotel Reviews

Beach Street Inn and Suites

Beach Street Inn and Suites

8/10 Good
"This is a super relaxing place with a low-key, chill vibe. The room was directly overlooking the beach and there were Adirondack chairs to enjoy. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Very stylish and comfortable. My only small niggles are that the ocean front balcony rooms are three flights of stairs down from reception with no elevator. I imagine someone would have helped me with my bag if I asked, but nobody offered. Also, the balcony rooms all share one big balcony so when I went out for my glass of sunset wine it's more like a big, shared patio. Still, I enjoyed it quite a lot."

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good
"Not the best area, but not terrible for the price, and the pool and hot tub are open until 10pm which is nice. Seemed like a lot of "street business" was being conducted around the property and of course the usual fighting/screaming couples was ever present. Also, the sink in the bathroom was clogged and wouldn't drain properly due to who knows what was dumped down it previously, so I had to clear that myself which was a little disgusting"
