Stayed here plenty of times, first time reviewing. Wife works every Thursday so sometimes we extend our stay into Friday. Love this place as you can walk to Main Beach in a few mins. Pool was kinda cold for my toddler but hot tub was nice. Better than the place next door. Rooms and parking are always great. I think they upgraded us to a room with separated rooms, which was nice with mother-in-law and a kid. Will stay again.

Room was decently clean. The floor could have been cleaner. Very close to the beach. The plantation shutters on the windows was a bad idea. The light from the outside shined into the room making it difficult to sleep. Pool and hot tub are nice but very crowded.

Stayed there for 5 nights and every night was noisy. Could hear neighbours yelling and fighting on one side and stomping and moving furniture around above us. They actually give you earplugs on the table when you arrive so it must be an issue. I needed them. Pool and hot tubs were nice. Location was great.

Our stay at the Ocean Pacifc Lodge in Santa Cruz was alright. The room was large and check in was very smooth, even through we were arriving at midnight. The bed was a little stiff for my taste, and our room was across from the pool so it smelled very chlorine-y like the pool in our room which wasn’t ideal. But we did really appreciate the location, and its accessibility to the ocean and pier, as well as the free parking.
