When we were greeted by the most lovely and accommodating lady at the front desk, she made us feel completely right at home. She was so lovely in accepting our family -- husband, wife, dog & cat. We were so impressed by the suites she offered, it was hard to pick one. When we met her wonderful husband, we knew... More

After the stress of work, we found a great place to relax and enjoy nature. The fireplace came in handy against the cool ocean breeze. It was great hearing the crash of the ocean waves and the bark of the sea lions. The beds are super comfortable. We walked out on the wharf and had a wonderful breakfast. Saw the... More

Visited Santa Cruz with my wife for a weekend romantic getaway! We love Edgewater for the variety of rooms and they are all different! We stayed in a wonderful room with a full kitchen and jacuzzi tub. Beds were very comfortable. Loved that I could make my own coffee in the morning! It was an easy walk to the Boardwalk... More

Traveling through Santa Cruz on the way down the coast and found this wonderful, unique motel! The room was so comfortable and everything I needed, including a kitchen! Close to the wharf and boardwalk and I could walk there. All the rooms are different, recently renovated, clean and charming plus the bed was so comfortable! The staff (Barry and Dee)... More

The hotel was clean, room small but the bed was comfortable. Bottom line is I would not return. The place was empty so they should have upgraded us to a better room in my opinion- but maybe that is the difference between a motel and hotel not sure. I just think that the price was too high.

For $279.00 (per night)!!! we expected windows, maybe clean carpet. Room is more of a prison cell, window looks into neighboring rooms. (room 112) A skylight had to be added or it would be pitch dark with no natural lighting. If you depend on 'wi-fi, make other arrangements. It is so weak with so many people using it, almost ineffective.... More
