We had the family room, which is such a great, large, unexpected room to have in a hotel, near the beach. I highly recommend it for groups that don't mind sharing the sleeping space like a sleepover. Conveniently located, cool, quaint property.

This renovated property is across the street from the beach and a block from the Santa Cruz pier. It is blocks from the train that takes you to the redwoods. It couldn’t be any better of a location. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for a visit.

Excellent location, close to everything. The room had a great view of the beach and bed was comfortable. My only complaint is that we were not informed the outdoor area outside our room (the entire deck) was private to another guest’s room. While staff was polite informing us we were essentially trespassing on our neighbors personal space, it was an uncomfortable situation that could have been avoided if there were signs or it had been made clear beforehand.

My friend and I stayed here for a night on our roadtrip to San Diego. The staff was very friendly, and when we left a perfume behind they kindly agreed to keep it until we can get back to pick it up! Very thankful for them. The view was beautiful and the boardwalk was fun to past, despite it being night time and closed. The vibe reminded me of Italy, very fun! Definitely get your money’s worth with this place!

We stayed in an older room at the front of the property. I was reserved on booking it due to a shared balcony however it was a great view of the ocean and volleyball courts. We lucked out as during our stay everyone was respectful that shared the balcony.

We enjoy staying at the Casablanca when we are in Santa Cruz. Their housekeeping can do better and I wish they would repair broken hooks in the bathroom so we could hang the towels. But other than that we always have a relaxing stay each time.

The beach view and the patio was exceptional, the room could use a face lift. More shelving in the bathroom and real stitching on the curtains instead of staples:) when someone spends 500$ a night there is a higher expectation. Overall the location and the views will sell these rooms every day for the year. We had a great time here.
