Top Twin Lakes State Beach Hotel Reviews

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"i’m staying here for years. I love this place. Great staff very clean and conveniently located in near downtown and the boardwalk."

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Overall a good budget spot. Room and bathroom were very clean but the carpet needs to be cleaned. Walls were pretty thin but people in the room next to me quieted down around 11:00 p.m. The fan from the AC worked pretty well as white noise. The room was a little small. I stayed in a room inside the courtyard (parking lot) and it seemed very safe and well lit. This is a property where the owners are on site 24/7 so there was literally zero riff raff....unlike many of the other properties nearby."

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We decided to extend our stay at the last minute and needed a hotel. So glad this one was available for my family of 4. The room was clean, it was so close to the boardwalk and the kids loved watching the rides from the balcony! Breakfast is also included which is a huge win for my early risers. We can’t wait to come back!"
