Beach View Inn is only a couple of minutes walk from the beach, wharf and Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We also had a good view of the Pacific from our room - which wasn't bad. Can't beat the location. Our room was comfortable and clean - while the staff was friendly. We didn't mind the hotel being a bit basic -... More

You can't beat this location. Short walking distance to beach and wharf. Great value. It's not a Hyatt, but you're not paying Hyatt prices. Had a problem with the air conditioner....front desk personnel quickly moved us to another room.

The location was perfect but the rooms are a little outdated. They need new comfortable beds, new paint, and maybe a little more to choose from with the complimentary breakfast-like fruit. Overall a very nice stay due to Heather being so bubbly and smiley.

Don't stay here. The motel is as bad as any could be. Very poor quality furniture, old and stained, torn and dirty. The bed was small and broken down. We could find no beach view from any where on the property. The price at 170 a night was theft. The room was not worth 50 bucks. On the plus side... More

We checked in and headed up to our assigned room. The Inn is quite small, housing probably 12 units on the second floor and approximately 8 units on the first. The entry to our room was at the end of the walkway in a dimly lit corner where the entry way to 4 rooms are clustered. The entrance area is... More

Beachview Inn was a great little place to stay especially if you are not looking to spend a whole lot of money. My boyfriend and I are in the process of saving money, so this was a perfect vacation... More

We needed a room at the last minute, and were referred to the Beach View Inn by a friend. I called and spoke to Maggie on the phone a few hours before arriving. She was very sweet and friendly and went out of her way to take care of our requests, and gave us a great rate on our room.... More
