The location is only a block from the Santa Cruz Pier and an easy walk to the Beach Boardwalk. While the rooms are basic, they are comfortable; one is paying for the location. Parking is free and security of the parking lot enforced. The rooms also contain a microwave and tiny mini-refrigerator, which is a great convenience.

The plumbing was in poor shape, with a leak in the bathroom sink and the knob for the tub/shower loose; it would come off in one's hand. People with mobility issues should know that this property is on a steep hill and so even the 'ground floor' rooms involve dealing with a very steep slope. Rooms on the upper level require negotiating multiple flights of steps; there are no lifts. Also be aware that there is no coffee maker or teapot in the room.

For the price - I thought the hotel was great. I traveled with 3 teenagers- room was big enough- old (Santa Cruz charm) but clean and best of all it was a very short walk to the beach and boardwalk- because of the location, I thought it was worth the price and would stay again. Check in was friendly and the place was quiet.

The only things I did not like was there was no coffee maker in the room- but there was a coffee shop within walking distance - and the shower was very slow to drain which was not good with 4 people needing to take a shower- the beds were uncomfortable

The Indian lady at the reception was very nice and friendly and let us to do check-in much earlier (around 1:30 pm). Overall, very clean and nice room, you get absolutely best value for the money. Very good location - close to the beach and amusement park, comfortable bed and very clean room.

No coffee at the reception.

This is a prime location merely steps from the pier! Walking to the boardwalk took less than 10 minutes and went along the beach. I will definitely stay here for my next vacation to Santa Cruz!

There was no continental breakfast, which was fine by me but disappointing to my 2 kids under 10! Our two bedroom was a tight fit, but worked. . Our room did not have an ocean view, but I didn’t request one!

It is a clean and safe place, very fair. It is close to the beach and the host it was very polite and kind. Garage it is also a diferencial of the place.

It doesn’t have any food or machine food to save you in a emergency. It is not a problem, but you should be aware.

Location was perfect walking distance to Santa Cruz wharf. Very affordable rooms! Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms conveniently have fridge and microwave- huge plus!

You get what you pay for; it’s not a luxury hotel by any means, but serves its purpose perfectly. Parking was a bit tight for my truck, smaller cars are much better off to be parked here, but at least it is free.

My room was perfect, except the fridge leaked a bit. The reception was very friendly and accommodating. I grew up in Santa Cruz, but haven't lived there since the 90s. My mom is in SC, in a nursing home,.so I have been staying in a few hotels on my trips to see her. This hotel was the best so far, clean, quiet, affordable and comfortable. I stayed here during the off season and it was a great deal.

Tv stations were pretty bad. Disclaimer: don't watch TV much so maybe I'm not the best judge.

Room 105 was perfect, when I walk into the room it was clean. No sign of garbage on the ground or in the bathroom. The beach near the hotel which is in walking distance. I have zero complaints it was true it was absolutely respect and dignity. Thank you beachview and thank you for a perfect weekend.

I have nothing negative to say about beach view it was an excellent time the whole time.

I got locked out of my room at around midnight, but there was no staff on-site around then to let me in. I had to dial a number and wait some 30 minutes for someone to come help out. I loved every other aspect of my stay, but round-the-clock support is something I have always thought was a very basic expectation from hotels.

The staff was extremely friendly and super helpful. The furniture was a bit old, but the room itself was spacious and comfortable and had everything you needed for a short stay. The location is convenient, walking distance from the wharf and the place has a private parking lot. It's a good choice if you look for a place in this hotel category.
