    limited snacks

    I had a fantastic stay at Seaway Inn. The room was cozy with beach-inspired décor and a lovely view of the ocean. The friendly staff made me feel right at home, and being just a short walk to the beach was a huge bonus. I loved the convenience of having a fridge and microwave in the room, making it easy to enjoy snacks anytime.

    The snack options in the lobby were very limited.

    The stay was highly satisfactory, with a clean and cozy King Room featuring beach-inspired décor and a pleasant view of the ocean. The location proved to be a major asset, allowing easy access to the beach and Boardwalk, enhancing my work trip with its inviting atmosphere. The staff consistently provided exceptional service, addressing all my needs promptly and with a friendly demeanor.

    cozy garden
    nice pool
    uncomfortable bed

    I had an awesome time enjoying the lovely pool and relaxing in the cozy garden area during my stay. While the room was clean and a perfect spot to recharge after exploring, I did notice the bed could have been more comfortable. For anyone looking to visit, I'd definitely recommend bringing a compact car since parking can be tight! 🌞

    light breakfast

    Awesome group trip! We had so much fun surfing and ziplining nearby. The location is perfect for heading to the beach and the boardwalk. The rooms were spacious and super comfortable. We enjoyed the friendly staff. Just a tip, parking can be a bit limited, so plan ahead.

    The breakfast could definitely be better. it was quite light, so consider grabbing something nearby if you're hungry.

    limited snacks
    early closing restaurants

    Santa Cruz is a foodie paradise! I gobbled up fresh tacos at Las Palmas Taco Bar and had a memorable meal at FireFish Grill — their seafood is top-notch. Plus, my stay in the King Room with Sea View was splendid, and the staff were super helpful during our visit.

    After an exhausting day of exploring, it was a bit of a bummer that the snack options were scarce in the lobby, especially since a lot of nearby restaurants close up earlier than you'd expect.

    great location
    friendly staff
    small room

    We really enjoyed our visit! The location is perfect, just a short walk to the boardwalk and tons of fun activities. My adult children and I loved spending time nearby ziplining and surfing. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

    My kids wished there was more space in the room. A family suite option would be great for larger groups.
