Great stay at Carousel Beach! Literally next door to the Boardwalk. Rooms were well maintained and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was simple but more than enough for our need. Would happily recommend this hotel to anyone planning a visit to Santa Cruz.

Staff are very friendly especially Carissa. She’s accommodating and ready to assist whenever we needed help. Good breakfast and if you’re a coffee lover, it’s available 24/7. The room is quite spacious. And the location is perfect, boardwalk/wharf is just 2 minutes walk. Balcony is a plus.

Really loved our stay here! Quick access to the boardwalk, friendly staff, and a great breakfast! They have a make your own waffle station, or you can enjoy hard boiled eggs and yogurt, amongst other items. The room was clean and spacious. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!
