Seemed to have plenty of parking, not too far a walk from things. Lady at the desk upgraded my room for me which was a pleasant surprise. Nothing to complain about. Two small notes, only place I’ve seen that has ever charged for ice, but I think it was like $0.25 or something. Also I didn’t notice ...

Yes. I felt safe. But my windows were nailed shut. Missing a light bulb on the desk. Floors without rugs need to be mopped.

Not bad for the price. Difficult to get assistance. Staff was unavailable from 9pm to 9am, couldn't even get towels. Hot tub was reasonably warm but not very clean. Shower water was inconsistently hot. TV did not work unless logging into your own Netflix. Kiosk check in was a bit strange - a person ...

The biggest disappointment was that there was a strong smell of mold/mildew in the bathroom. The fan only made it worse. It was hard to be in there even to quickly use the toilet, let alone take a bath or shower. The rooms were renovated and looked nice but were cheaply done with corners cut. There ...

Dream Inn Santa Cruz
5 out of 5
Posted 7 hours ago
Travelocity Verified Review
"The hotel is in a beautiful location overlooking the Boardwalk, wharf, and beach. The staff is friendly and helpful. We had a dog-friendly room, so we got to bring our fur babies. The pool and beach access are great, and they have umbrellas and chairs you can borrow if you are going to another great (dog) beach. Lots of food options are close by, and DoorDash is an easy pick up at front desk. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area. "
