Top Cowell's Beach Hotel Reviews
Beachview Inn
10/10 Excellent
"The inn was close to the boardwalk and pier. Many things were in walking distance. There is an ebike rental shop about a minutewalk away, if you didn't want to walk nor drive everywhere. With the inn being in a busy area, it was pretty quiet and peaceful. The room, for the most part, was clean. I did find a long hair strand that clearly wasn't mine, other than that everything was decent."
Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great! Staff was very friendly and helpful."
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Liked the big queen bedroom with a foto of Capitola covering the wall. Liked the quiet location. Room was very clean and had everything you need. We were not aware that we had to pay $20 extra for parking, but we were lucky to get a free parking spot right in front of the hotel (on the street) with a handicap placard."
Carousel Beach Inn
10/10 Excellent
"The location in front of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk was very convenient and the room was cozy. The hospitality of the cleaning staff and front desk were superb. We enjoyed our stay and we’ll be recommending it to our friends and family."
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Extremely family-friendly and clean/maintained property. The staff was friendly and engaging and there was always someone available to assist with questions and requests. Super close to the beach and boardwalk with an added bonus of having a cute cafe there!"
Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

"Great location"
Ocean Pacific Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"My husband only stayed for one night. The room was clean, grounds looked kept and it was within a 5 minute walk to the wharf and boardwalk. Close to many shops and restaurants. I would stay again. They have a pool and jacuzzi as well that looked clean, although we didn't use it."
Dream Inn Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"Check in was quick and simple. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were very spacious and clean and the view was PERFECT! Definitely will be returning. O and I highly recommend Jack O’Neil Restaurant. I ordered a steak and it was DELICIOUS!!"
Surf City Inn and Suites
