“Alison & Snoopy were here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed here on 12/23 to 12/25 2011. I brought my dog Snoopy with me and it was so comfortable, clean and like a little beach apartment I didn't want to leave!!! I enjoyed the location to watch Cowell beach surfers and do some bar hopping at night WALKING of course...enjoyed the bar at the end called Olitas!!! and there is a great place to eat and dring called IDEAL just at the end of the hotel driveway...Inside the rooms the dual glass fireplace is so great, the owners are so accommodating and welcoming I literally felt at home. There are 17 different rooms and themes I want to take 16 more weekends to stay in each of the rooms at least once!!!

“Great beach and boardwalk access”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving stay at this hotel. The staff was absolutely fabulous and treated us like a five star hotel. It has a great view of Santa Cruz beach from the top of the hill and simple, easy access down the hill about maybe 300 meters to the beach. The room was perfect for us with a microwave and fridge. The huge bath tub surprised me too. If you want an easy location with quick access to the Pacific Ocean this is the place for you. Perfect little deck area to sit quietly and watch the waves and world go by too.

“The room was great and the view was perfect”

The room was nice and clean. The room had a fireplace that was in the wall between the room and the bathroom. Very nice while sitting in the jacuzzi tub. Located 50 yards from the Boardwalk.

“A bit overpriced - location and owners make it work”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

We were happy to have found such a great location and truly enjoyed our stay. Clean room albeit small (Room 103) and had the look & feel of a room from the early 70's. There was a small table sized ironing board but we had to ask the front desk for an iron, there wasn't a hair dryer and no tissues in the room. Not a big deal except what we paid for the room we expected a bit more.

The owners couldn't be kinder and more helpful. We will be back but next time we will get a bigger room with a view of the ocean.
