Good motel at a convenient location

Nice location, nice two large king size beds. It’s at a very convenient location, only one block away from wharf. The guest WiFi is terrible. It keeps dropping.

Pool Hours!!

Random visit to my hometown. Booked last minute for the hot tub...the hotel and multiple websites never mentioned the 9 to 9 pool hours which sucked cuz we got in late and left early...booked and paid extra tonot be able to use the feature we wanted. Otherwise everything was great. I do wish the rooms had carpet.

Comfortable and clean

The Ocean Pacific Lodge was great. The check-in was super quick. The staff was friendly and the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and microwave. The hotel is in a great location about 3 blocks from the pier/boardwalk and maybe 1/2 mile from downtown. I will stay here again.

Great stay at Ocean Pacific Lodge

I enjoyed my stay at the Ocean Pacific Lodge. The staff were very pleasant and professional. While just a few blocks from the beach, the street is a bit quieter, and easy walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz with more shopping, food, and entertainment off the boardwalk. Be sure to grab a coffee and breakfast wrap from the Pacific Point Market & Cafe across the street!
