    Convenient and clean - rooms were large, and beds were comfortable.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We had a great time staying at the Seaway Inn. It's very central being right on the Boardwalk and within a short walk to downtown, yet quiet at night.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Our room was nice, very comfortable and very clean. Was a great location to get to the Boardwalk quickly. We had a nice view. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely like to stay here again.

    Great for our family of 5

    The room was expensive but nice. No breakfast not even a continental which was disappointing at that price. Couldn’t find a hair dryer either. The staff was super nice and helpful

    after we checked out we had one concern in our room but staff taking care and fixed .

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This place exceeded my expectations for where it was in the edge of the building. Well, maintain rooms are big enough for us to move around and not be on top one another and the staff is exceptional.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    AC dis not really work . Looks like they need to upgrade them in all rooms.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We had a great stay in Santa Cruz. The hotel was walkable to the beach and boardwalk. It was a perfect location.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This hotel was a good deal for the cost. Location was great only bad thing is the parking lot is smaller but they do have extra parking around back. This place was one of my favorite places, cute, close to the beach and convenient.
