Good place

We enjoyed our stay here! It’s in a prime location so honestly couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s a straight shot to the beach and parking was convenient right on the property. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a great stay for one night on our mini vacation to Santa Cruz.

Great family spot near activities

Came in town to visit with family with very little notice and found a great weeknight deal here. Perfect location, free parking, quiet spot and lots of great food nearby. My kids said it’s one of their favorites (great pool!). We will definitely be back!

Great family place

Everything was perfect from checking to checkout. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient The room was clean, roomy and comfortable. The pool and hot tubs were clean and perfect to end the day. The only thing that would have made this better would be pastries and juice in the lobby in the morning
Debbie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was surprisingly large, actually 2 separate bedrooms with enough room for a roll-away bed. The staff was very accommodating. Great little market/coffee shop right across the street.

Raven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A pleasant respite between downtown and the wharf

We have stayed at Ocean Pacific a couple times, and it is perfectly serviceable for our SC needs. It is about equidistant to walk to either downtown or the Wharf/Boardwalk, which are some of our favorite tromps. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable, and there is a good fan/AC/heat combo mounted on the wall. We will definitely stay here again.
