We love this place!! Our family goes there at least three times a year. True, it's not the cleaniest place, but they make up for it. We were moved one time to a deluxe room for a night. Very accomidating! It's nice for me to stay and relax in while my husband and sons are at the Boardwalk for the night. We enjoy this vacation spot every single year!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS HOTEL!! Service was top notch. Location was unbelievable; it was so convenient to just walk to the boardwalk. The room was great. Everything was great. No complaints. I can't wait to go back!!!

I like the area it was in right across the street from the park the view from the patio off the bedroom was peaceful and I could enjoy the excitment sitting warm and cozy with evening ocean breeze watching everything across the street

my wife and children say we must return.
we enjoyed our stay in early spring of 2006.
my wife is very critical, and for her to say
about the carousel Motel, what she did.
very clean, great indoor gardens, security system
made me feel safe, great continental breakfast,
hotel staff hospitality, and view of the board-

We took our son to Santa Cruz for his 4th bday. We came up on a Sunday and left the next day.The hotel was 2 minutes away from the boardwalk. Easy to come and go from our room to the beach and boardwalk as we please. Staff was friendly, room was clean, breakfast was tasty.
