Perfect place on the ocean!!! Modern yet nestalgic! Great rooms!

1.0 / 10.0

The place is out dated and not 4 stars. It’s a nice 2 stars the only reason the call it 4 is because of the location. The place is so loud. I was charged for the cloud king on the upper floor and all I heard was doors slamming. Every night and every morning. The maids don’t just keep the maid room open instead they let door just slam over and over again as they go in 100s of times every morning. Not relaxing. A rip off for sure. There is a gap at the bottom of the doors. You hear everything. The only reason this place is rated well is because everything else is a terrible n sc. so they get away with bad 4 star.

A great property, right on the beach, decent pool-could have been warmer, staff was great. The rooms absolutely need a little updating and love, otherwise we had fun!

10.0 / 10.0

A beautiful place. We had a fantastic time in this beautiful place and the sea view after waking up was just stunning. The staff was brilliant and helped me prepare a birthday surprise for my husband, which made his birthday even more special. Thank you and we hope to be back again.

Clean room amazing beach view. Location is great right next to the pier which has nice stores and can see the see lions interacting. I already stayed at this hotel twice and will make this my favorite place in Santa Cruz

Great location, right on the beach. Close to boardwalk, downtown and west cliff for walking or running. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean, wonderful little balcony too. We'll be back.

8.0 / 10.0

The view makes this hotel worth visiting but the surrounding area is not the best part of Santa Cruz. Cool to be right on the beach though and amazing to watch your teenage kids surf in the sea from your balcony! Bathrooms very basic but clean towels and linen. Valet staff super friendly and helpful.

10.0 / 10.0

Had a great time. Great location!

6.0 / 10.0

Over priced. Very expensive per night but objectively does not meet that quality. Being on the beach, you pick this hotel for location but it became easily evident that that wasn’t required, especially at the price point. The rooms were not clean, very dated, and not properly maintained. Even to the point of dangerous for some potential patrons.

10.0 / 10.0

Best hotel in Santa Cruz! Walking distance to the wharf and the boardwalk! Best of all, all rooms have an ocean view! We always crack the patio door at night and sleep to the sound of the sea!

10.0 / 10.0

Room was great, spacious, clean and loved our ocean view. Bed and pillows comfortable. Staff was nice, kind, welcoming and helpful.

8.0 / 10.0

If you get there at check in time , it's very hard to park with valet there's limited space...so keep that in mind. It's a big place in a great location overlooking the water, you can hear the waves crashing, that was wonderful, but you also hear everybody else. It's very loud and family friendly. So there's lots of children running around. Having a balcony is really, really nice. But the doors shutting in other rooms shakes your wall.

Ive stayed here many times over the years, and it just doesn't have the same mystical feeling about it.

Great location. Super kid friendly. Warm hot tub. Taco bar for lunch. Easy beach access and easy walking to boardwalk. Kids had a blast! Ages 3 & 6.

8.0 / 10.0

The location and views are great. However, the room needs lots of updates, specially in the bathroom ( grout on the floor/corners coming apart, gray/black grout in the bathroom, scratches and wholes in the cabinets). It was also very noisy, you could hear everything from the rooms next to us and people walking in the hallways. The pool was nice but needs a good clean. There is a lot of buildup around the pool, specially in the jacuzzi. We didn’t stay long. The worst part was the hostess at the restaurant. She was very rude and condescending. Even though the restaurant had many open seats, she asked if we would leave by 11am “because a lot of people like to camp out and stay long.” What kind of welcome is that?! Food was ok, but we didn’t return during our stay. Overall great location, but the amenities and our room need updates to be at the high-end level that is advertised as.

Dream Inn has been perfect for our quick get aways. The location on the beach is awesome! Awesome service by the reservations staff and front desk. Parking fee is a bit steep though.

3.0 / 10.0

we have been coming to the Dream Inn for over 6 years. The room was clean but the bed was very uncomfortable and our room was on the corner just above the pool in the tower, The light shined in the room all night long and we could hear the elevator. I don't normally complain but I paid a lot of money for the room as well as upgraded the room when they are all the same. There were not extra amenities added to the room and we had to pay.
