Really enjoyed the fact the property was within walking distance of the boardwalk. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy, the guy at registration was super nice and even gave us some recommendations of places nearby. Honestly customer service alone ranks 100/10

Property was great all around. It was just a parking lot away from the main entrance to the boardwalk. Very quiet, no nonsense kind of place. The place is very old but that's what gives it character. We will definitely stay there again the next time out to Santa cruz.

Great location, old hotel

The staff was friendly and very helpful with finding us a parking spot..... the parking there is tight, not designed for anything past a small suv, definitely not for larger vehicles or trucks. The room was clean and the beds were okay. The bathroom was very small but did the job.

Location!

We had a nice stay for one night while visiting the boardwalk. You cannot beat the location. Hotel is older but you can tell they are trying to maintain it as well as possible. Would definitely stay there again bc of location.

Definitely Recommend!

My stay at the Aqua Breeze Hotel was great! It was a very quick check in and I used cash as a deposit which I got in the same form the next day. I didn't spend too much time in the room since there is so much to do around the hotel due to its great location but the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and quite big too! I was on the first floor right behind the stairs but honestly I didn't hear any loud noises until about 9 the next morning but I was already awake and preparing to check out. I definitely recommend staying here if you're going to Santa Cruz and plan on coming back again!

Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.

Great location to the Boardwalk. The hospitality wasn't that great. The check in was ok, but the morning guy was rude and grumpy.

The room was perfect for a family with a separate king bedroom and two queens in the other room. This property was perfect for us as we had 17 and 15 year old grandsons and our 6 year old grandaughter with us. The boys walked to the boardwalk when ever they wanted to which was great. This property is older but well maintained and clean, the staff was great and the free on site parking was a godsend. We read alot of the negative reviews from people that were obviously expecting the Ritz Carlton which it is not but it so convenient and totally met our expectations. We were very satisfied.
