Any room that has carpet has mold in the room. I had one of worst asthma attacks in my life. The carpet felt damp when barefoot. Toilet paper in bathroom felt damp from moisture in room. There is moisture that accumulates on window to which reflects a deeper problem. My husband is a building inspector and he wanted to red tag the hotel for unsafe and unhealthy conditions. Did not stay. Staff tried to accommodate our needs but every room we tried was impacted. Staff was kind enough to refund our money.

Comfortable and clean

The Ocean Pacific Lodge was great. The check-in was super quick. The staff was friendly and the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The room had a fridge and microwave. The hotel is in a great location about 3 blocks from the pier/boardwalk and maybe 1/2 mile from downtown. I will stay here again.

Great stay at Ocean Pacific Lodge

I enjoyed my stay at the Ocean Pacific Lodge. The staff were very pleasant and professional. While just a few blocks from the beach, the street is a bit quieter, and easy walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz with more shopping, food, and entertainment off the boardwalk. Be sure to grab a coffee and breakfast wrap from the Pacific Point Market & Cafe across the street!

Always my go-to when coming to my home town for a reboot. This time, sadly, room smelled unfresh. Will be back, will ask 4 a different room. I love the location, pool and hot tub- i walk to all my activities!
