    This location was great and the staff was excellent and the rooms are very clean. Also they are pet friendly and have bags for pet and are for Fido to go. However There were some rude guest who are irresponsible dog owners and so pick up after fido. However I definitely stay here again and I would recommend it 5 stars great place.

    Our room had two rooms separated with two king size beds, just needed a couch or another chair. It was very roomy and had a k-cup, microwave, small fridge perfect for us. Had a big pool and two hot tubs, very nice and clean. The staff was very friendly and ready to give us extra towels and even brought us another chair for the room. There was only one thing i noticed the elevator permit I believe was not updated since last year. But that could of been good? I would stay there again overall was a great place and location. You'll have to try the corner breakfast shop delicious food there.

    Close to the beach and outside of the boardwalk where it would otherwise be choatic

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Such a convenient location, walking distance to the Boardwalk and lots of restaurants. We had a great time. The bed was a little hard---why are hotel beds always so hard?

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The check in staff was very friendly and helpful. We got a great room and the beach/pier was a quick walk away. My kids were excited to swim after dinner and delighted that the hot tubs (yes 2) were hot and the pool was warm. The hotel was quiet and the beds were comfortable.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff very friendly at check-in. Basic Queen room with refrigerator, microwave, and pod coffee maker. Short 5-8 minute walk to the Boardwalk. Across from popular soccer park with turf grass. Parking very tight.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Lobby has a fun retro beach vibe, well marked parking areas. Staff and house keeping were friendly and helpful.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Thin thin thin walls. Good luck if you have neighbors above you. Housekeeping was trying to kick us out before check out time. Other than that walking distance to beach. Comfortable beds.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    This hotel was fantastic for our family. The room with two king beds was actually a suite, and so our kids had their own separate room. The pool and hot tubs were excellent, and we were just a short walk from the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff was very accommodating and they were pet friendly.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The pool closed at 9 pm which seemed too early. We didn't get to use the hot tub because we arrived too late. Parking is a challenge due to the odd layout and no rear exit. We would stay again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Very good clean

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff were very nice, rooms are clean and comfortable! The area of the hotel is nice as well because it’s calm and quiet. It’s also pretty convenient since it isn’t far from Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Would stay here again!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    A great stay close to the boardwalk and pier at a great value.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We enjoyed our stay here, the staff was very friendly at check-in. The room was nice and comfortable and the location was perfect to get around town.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Parking spots were relatively small, but we had 3 rooms and 3 cars, and all were accomodated.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Good location near the beach+ large swimming pool.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Do think there should be adult swim and have early access to pool and the pool be open a little later to accommodate adult guests who wish to enjoy the stay to the fullest. enjoyed the heated pool and duel hot tubs. Room was clean and comfortable with great view.
