This hotel is directly across the street from the beach, Boardwalk & the pier. We stayed for our anniversary and was given a bottle of wine with rose pedals on our bed. We definitely choose this property on our future trips to Sana Cruz.

A good night's sleep next to the beach

Great location right next to the beach. I slept well in the comfortable bed. Convenient parking on site. Room was surprising quiet despite being near a busy street and lots of people. It was nice to hear the waves of the ocean from our room. The front desk staff was great.

The room smelled awful. Dank, musty, etc. Also, a former guest must have spilled coffee on the bed- all night long the smell of old burnt stale coffee wafted thru the room.

Classic Queen Room

The view was beautiful. The room felt smaller than the 200 sq ft listed although, I think this was due to the distribution of the space. The room was clean. The TV and remote were not working at first and required some manual adjustment. I would stay here again.
