Disliked: Staff & service
We arrived for checkin at 5:00pm to find that the lobby was closed with a note that stated staff would be on break until 6:00pm. What hotel schedules breaks right after guest checkin time begins? The parking is very limited as well. We had to pay for street parking until parking on site became available and even then, it was by luck as there are not enough spots available. I booked two separate family suites which were vastly different. One had spacious rooms, while the other was so packed the entry door literally could not open all of the way because the bed was blocking it. The upside to the hotel is it is literally on the beach and a short walk to the wharf and boardwalk.

Great Location , easy access to the beach. Room Smelled like bleach when we arrived. I opened up the window to air it out but it never went away. Lights on the porch never turn off and some windows were just mini blinds that didn’t shut very well so room wasn’t very dark at night.

Decent stay, location can’t be beat

Location was fantastic and condition of rooms was good. Service was dismal. Broken vending machine they couldn’t do anything about or offer refunds, someone was rarely at the front desk, and the whole front desk / coffee area / back exit towards the beach was closed down until 8am. Not great for early risers in need of caffeine and a walk!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE everything about Casablanca Inn and our stay. Exceeded expectations - especially when it came to traveling with our 15month old German Shepherd. Extremely pet friendly. Property has a fenced inn dog run where our dog could relieve himself as well play fetch. It also had a large court yard with with games for adults where you can bbq and enjoy outdoor dining. The property is across the street from Santa Cruz main beach, Pier, and boardwalk which made morning runs and walks with our dog the highlight of our stay. Our King Room w/ocean view & private balcony was spacious and equipped with everything you need to have a comfortable stay & enjoy a morning coffee on the balcony. We had such a wonderful time that we booked it again for mid September. Thank you Casablanca Inn!

Perfect spot

The room had an amazing view of the wharf, beach and ocean. I loved that there were so many windows and glass areas so I could enjoy while I was in my room. Being right across from the beach, I could hear the peaceful ocean waves the entire stay. There were also patio areas and chairs for viewing also. A great way to enjoy the area when you are away from the crowds and noise. What a great location

Great location, Rooms need a refresh

The location cannot be beat, but the room I was in was atrocious. It has the dirtiest carpet you'll ever see, no chairs or tables, dirty walls and broken everything. Do not book any rooms in the back building. The ones with ocean view and the front building are nicer.
