Dream Inn Santa Cruz

If you have and/or love kids, this is a great place. However, if you want a quiet, couples trip, this is not the place. Pool and hot tub are jammed with kids all the time and quite dirty.

The pool was a huge hit, and there were plenty of activities nearby to keep everyone entertained. Having a restaurant right next door was incredibly convenient especially after a full day at the beach with the kids. The hotel was clean, the staff was warm and welcoming, the beach views were stunning, and the private balcony was the perfect place to relax and take it all in. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The only thing that was a little disappointing was that the spa was unavailable for a majority of our stay. It was chilly and that was our plan to hang out in the spa. But overall it was an awesome stay and we will definitely be back.

Great experience and great staff. Cant beat the view and beach access.

Will not stay again. Outdated rooms especially bathrooms and furniture. Not worth $500 a night.

I expected better basics such as decent toilet paper for the price of the stay. Staff was great. Food was mediocre. Room was basic.

The restaurant in property was great. Good breakfast. Fair prices. The happy hour cocktails by the poool were great. Beautiful overlooking the beach. The room is a basic motel room though. Nothing special. Unsure what the big hype over this hotel is, but we enjoyed our stay being nearby the boardwalk.

It was a great stay. Will definitely book again!

The best part about this property was that it was right on the beach. The view from our balcony was amazing! The staff was extremely helpful. The rooms were clean and it was located right next to the wharf and steps from the Beach Boardwalk. We were right next to the pool and they were hosting a junior lifeguard training, so it was a little noisy but not bad. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend it!

There is no where else as accessible and accommodating as Dream Inn.

Great location , easily walkable to boardwalk and Warf. Private balcony with ocean views

Only stayed one night, and quickly realized this is a multiple night stay kind of place!! Need to come back asap!

Rooms were very beautiful and clean. For the price of the rooms something more than a 1 ply toilet paper would be expected. Comfy beds and pillows, beautiful views.

Love this place. Will definitely be rebooking in the future

I left the pool area and soaking in the hot tub, which was the perfect temperature. The restaurant there was amazing. The staff was super kind and helpful. I do wish it wasn’t so expensive because it was a big splurge for us.

Great location, fun mid-century modern vibe. Boardwalk is a short walk away. Would stay here again.

There was pool acse

I've frequent this establishment several times and absolutely love it. The view from the rooms are amazing. It is conveniently located near restarants and stores/shops. It's beach access is lovely. You can go out on the beach, people watch, or enjoy room service/drinks from your balcony which beats any view at any restaurant on the boardwalk (provided you have an ocean view room). The only downside is that my room this time had an annoyingly loud leaky shower and a very noisy aircondition unit.

Staff was exceptional great location, good value Nothing

Perfect location. Adorable decore. Cant beat the view and beach access. Pool was fun with great service and tasty food and drinks.
