My 12 year old daughter and I spent three days here, starting on Memorial Day Monday. I sense there may be a big difference between weekend/high summer days and midweek/non-summer days at this hotel. When we arrived on Monday, it was packed, but things calmed down over the course of the week. We loved more things than we disliked: great... More

Stayed here one night in May on a road trip down the West Coast. The room was a good size with a comfortable bed and excellent views over the bay. The style / décor might not be to everyone's taste but we loved it - modern without being at all pretentious. The hotel bar is also great - bloody mary... More

Warm, courteous, thoughtful, detailed, timely, and comfortable...Just a few words to let you get a small taste of what this gem of a hotel has to offer. A few friends and I made a long weekend of it over Memorial Weekend for my birthday, and can only say, every single staff member was on it. Super easy going and professional.... More

We booked this hotel last minute before a long weekend. We were very suprised to enter the large room with two queen beds and see nothing but the Ocean with sailing boats from the windows. Glorious views..... Great location right next to the Santa Cruz boardwalk, sort of private beach and average pool area with sun lounges. Very clean hotel,... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights of our honeymoon and it was really great. The room as large and roomy and very, very clean. We had a large balcony that looked out at the water and though it was often too windy or cold to stay out on it (we're from Texas!) we did enjoy a great... More

Looking for a last minute getaway on Memorial Day, we found the Dream Inn available. Right on the beach with a pool and drinks to just relax. A great restaurant on site made it a great place for us just to relax. Great views from our room. If only it could have been 10 degrees warmer ....

Probably one of the nicest hotels in Santa Cruz. Very close to the board walk and right on the beach. The room we stayed in very nice,comfortable and overlooked the ocean.

We had a great stay. Staff was wonderful and we enjoyed looking out over town and the ocean from our balcony. We would definitely come back.

Recently my wife and I were returning from a stay in Monterey CA and decided to check out the Dream Inn in Santa Cruz CA. We arrived mid afternoon, close to check out time, so there was some activity at the registration desk. We were quickly greeted by the staff and offered service. I explained that we were simply stopping... More

This past weekend a group of old friends and I met at the Dream Inn for a weekend of fun! We picked the perfect hotel, hands down! The Dream Inn is exactly where we needed to be. The location was great, the decor was hip and funky, the rooms were perfect, the accessibility to everything was great. All in all,... More
