Great location

The motel was old and loud, but the location was across from the parking lot of the Boardwalk which was amazing. It was ok overall. The room did not have a safe which I would have felt better about.

The location was great! The pictures look way nicer than in person. It’s definitely motel rooms. They say there is coffee between 8am and 10am but you get coffee packets to take to your room. This is very budget inn and especially for the price of the rooms.

This motel is nothing fancy but perfect for a family wanting to stay close to the boardwalk. 6 of us were comfortable able to stay in 1 room with awsome views. Nothing fancy here but comfortable and easy. Staff were friendly. Will stay here again in the future.

Definitely Recommend!

My stay at the Aqua Breeze Hotel was great! It was a very quick check in and I used cash as a deposit which I got in the same form the next day. I didn't spend too much time in the room since there is so much to do around the hotel due to its great location but the beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and quite big too! I was on the first floor right behind the stairs but honestly I didn't hear any loud noises until about 9 the next morning but I was already awake and preparing to check out. I definitely recommend staying here if you're going to Santa Cruz and plan on coming back again!

The inside of the room was extremely basic, however clean. It definitely needed some modern touches. There were no elevators and dark stairwells. It would not be a place a lady would feel safe alone. The bed constantly squeaked anytime you moved. It was convenient to walk to the boardwalk. The front office staff were very nice. A paint job would help make the experience nicer. Even though we stayed the night we highly considered finding an alternative.
