We pre-registered so it made checking in much easier. We got to the hotel about 11:30am. Our room wasn't ready yet but they let us park on the premises. We ate lunch and walked around the pier. Shortly after we went back to see if the room was ready yet and we were able to check in. There was a new hotel under construction next door so it did get a bit noisy at times. The location was great. The staff was friendly and we had an incredible stay.

The front desk staff were wonderful especially Dennis. The on thing that was an issue was they only had one iron to share between the guest and it took us two days before and iron was available. Also, we put a sign for our room to get refreshed and it was skipped over. But everything else was great and these issues would not stop me from staying there again.

Had an ocean view “superior room”. It’s very small with poor lighting, but clean and newish still. I had to ask the front desk for an iron, as it was not included in the room. Check-in at 4pm was kind of late too.

Yearly trip to santa cruz

The front desk I think her name was Jessica( I hope) was very friendly and welcoming at check-in. The room was awesome. We had the corner balcony and the view of the beach! The room was awesome. The only thing I would change is the placement of the bathroom mirror. Its got this beautiful design on it but I think it should be on the other side. Other than that we will be staying again!

Our bathroom had a bad odor, I believe from the water. They cleaned our room once, and left no clean hand towels or washcloths.
