We have visited Santa Cruz several times because our son attends UCSC, and have tried several different hotels, none of them have been to our satisfaction until now. Seaway is the perfect place for a family plus dogs to stay for a weekend, and as we check out today, we wish we could be here longer. We chose the ocean view room for a little extra and it was so worth it, a beautiful view of the ocean and boardwalk in the distance. The extra space and pull out couch was appreciated also. The room was clean and well appointed with microwave, small fridge and just enough counter space. The front desk staff were always pleasant and accommodating and the breakfast was nicely presented, with a good selection. We look forward to coming back.
