Santa Cruz hotellit lähellä Main Beach

Plussat: All rooms oceanfront with balconies. Clean, vibrant and great location. Nice restaurant on property, Aquarius. Fire pits, pool, spa.

Miinukset: Rooms do not black out No bell hop

Plussat: Over looked the beach and ocean.

Miinukset: On our Room Service to the pool. The food was cold. That's the only thing I didn't like.

Plussat: The customer service is superior, the location is ideal. The room looked nice just a couple minor areas things needed to be addressed. TV did not work and the cleaning crew needed to revisit our room. They addressed my concerns immediately!!

Plussat: We have not been to Santa Cruz in years, and have never stayed at The Dream Inn. We will definitely be back. What a beautiful venue and location. Our room was lovely, and the front desk service polite, service oriented and professional.

Plussat: great view, awesome pool and restaurant, perfect location

Plussat: Great hotel for the entire family! Walking distance to the wharf and boardwalk. The views of the ocean from each hotel room are fantastic. We will do it again!

Plussat: The staff was really helpful and kind. The view is gorgeous and it's close to everything. The room was clean and upgraded.

Miinukset: There was still some renovations going on an it was very confusing when trying to find our way around the facility.

Plussat: You can't beat the location, but the price is steep.

Miinukset: Lots of families and kids around the pool. I was staying with a friend and we could hear a lot of noise from the rooms on either side of us, which was difficult to sleep through. It wasn't late night noise. It was early morning families rising before 6am on Sunday morning.

Plussat: I like the location and the service.

Miinukset: This hotel at $600/night is wildly overpriced. It should be $250-300 at most. I didn't even get free parking (had to pay $25/day) even though I was completely ripped off. Unfortunately I had no other viable options.

Plussat: beachfront room. that's it.

Miinukset: $300 and didn't even get a bottle of water in the room. they told me they "don't do that anymore" poor condition of bathroom overall run down feeling

Plussat: The room was good size, nice design, beautiful view and nice pool

Miinukset: Hair in the bathroom, very dated, hallway carpet smells, iron baby crib. Could have spent the money in a better place elsewhere, I was expecting something better for this price.

Plussat: Loved the location. The rooms were small but nice and clean. The restaurant is really nice with great views.

Miinukset: The pools and hot-tub are filthy and 90% kids under 5. The hotel carpets common bathrooms and stuff are just Dirty. Staff RARELY pick up the phone when you need something. They automatically charge you a $25/night Parking fee whether you park there or not.

Plussat: Perfect location. Only 2 miles away from downtown/ The Boardwalk and a few minute walk to Harbor Cafe (Great Brunch). Woman at the front desk was really nice when we got there. Fridge, cable, nice bathrooms, VERY CLEAN. The bed was comfortable and there are several different wifi networks to connect to provided by the hotel. Ample parking provided for guests.

Miinukset: The hotel is sitting right along a road that sees a fair amount of traffic. Didn't really bother me since I was mostly out and about, but if you have trouble sleeping with traffic noise maybe this place isn't for you. Also, they do not serve breakfast, but provide you with a map and a list of places to eat in the area. There's no shortage of good places to eat very close by.

Plussat: The room, furnishings, and overall site are well kept and very clean. The bed was comfortable. Everything was in order for our 1 night visit. The young man at the front desk was very helpful and polite. I accidentally booked the wrong evening and did not realize it until I called to confirm a late arrival. He was able to get us a room that night and resolve the change via the booking site I used. Breakfast had a good select of cereals, fruit, breads, yogurts and more (that was all I was interested in) - there was plenty of seating available. Coffee and a limited selection were available outside in the courtyard - a nice touch. This facility is a great find for the price vs. national brands in the area. I would return here without hesitation on future visits to Santa Cruz.

Miinukset: Absolutely no complaints!

Plussat: Very clean and a very good complimentary breakfast.

Plussat: Clean, big rooms, quiet and comfortable.

Plussat: Very spacious room and comfortable beds. Convinient room location. Close to freway. Great staff.

Miinukset: The continental breakfast can be a little fresh.

Plussat: Overall very nice hotel in a good location. The breakfast room was great with a decent selection of items.

Miinukset: When my wife and I first walked into our room it smelled like stale cleaning products, we assumed the room had been cleaned the day before but since the window was closed it did not air the room out. Once we turned the A/C on it was significantly better. Also our mattress had a rather large dip in the middle of it which caused a little difficult sleeping And the pillows where very small and flat.

Plussat: The hotel is clean, quiet, and the beds were pretty comfortable. Best selections for a continental breakfast that we have seen.

Plussat: The room seemed to be clean. Smelled strongly of cleaning products. The owner replaced a lightbulb when asked but did not bring the bedside lamp for the other side of the bed as he said he would.

Miinukset: Noisy air conditioner, turned it off but there is no air circulation, got too hot, bed too hard, pillows too big = terrible night of no sleep

Plussat: Rooms were tidy for the most part. Close proximity to boardwalk and other shopping.

Miinukset: Manager named Danny was very rude. Found bodily fluid stains on the headboard and when I asked for a different room he blamed the stains on me and my wife and yelled at us to check out if we didn't like the room. Extremely unprofessional.

Plussat: Guy up front was very nice. Had Direct Tv with many channels. Fridge.

Miinukset: Old, other visitors were a little sketchy but all was fine.

Plussat: The studio was a decent size. The AC/heat is updated to a thermastat.

Miinukset: While it had a full kitchen there was nothing there to use for it. No pots/pans/plates/utensils/paper towel.....it was totally useless. Even if they had paper plates and bowls and plastic utensils it woulda been better. There isn't enough outlets. The kitchen was dirty...had a fine dust (sawdust?) all over. Floors were dirty. Ick! It's a very old building and it shows. I chose this place cuz it had great reviews but I don't see how after being there.

Plussat: The beds were comfortable, the water hot, and the room clean.

Miinukset: The pillows were too big/hard.

Miinukset: We booked the hotel room advertised online at $285 a night for one night. Our credit card was charged 2 nights for a total of $966.39. The priced had gone up but the website had not been updated. We got the charges reversed but it was an inconvenience.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The room had old outdated furnishings. The walls were dirty and the room was dusty. Would not recommend.

Plussat: Location, location, location and comfort.

Miinukset: People next door extremely loud at 5am and no bedside lamp.

Miinukset: I booked a night for the memorial day weekend for my young family to stay. For close to 400 dollar, and all the positive review, I expect a decent place to stay next to the beach, until it turn into a nightmare. When I show up around 5pm on Sunday, they seem to be surprised. The gentalman was polite, he checked me in and told me they have a very nice unit at street level. When I was down there, at this so-called "6A" unit, it was basically the worse you could get, much worse than any motel you can find. Here's why: it's a very small 1 bedroom unit with small living room and a kitchen, right next to the pedestrian traffic with a very old and dirty front door. Walking into the unit it smell funny, and there are spots on the bedsheet, the floor is sticky. I was wondering why wife would book such a motel, so I walk back to the parking lot to bring her and our baby down, and my wife was all mad and told me how much we are paying for this "very nice" unit. I went back to the front desk and ask for a different room (twice) and they eventually told me the truth: they are over booked and the only alternative is that I have to go to a different hotel own by the same company a few blocks away (but obviously there's no more beach view, though there isn't one for this street level unit in the first place). I went to the Bay Front Motel as told and was offered 2 room to choose from, which aren't a lot better. WIthout much choice, I pick one room and pay more than I could have than when booking Kayak (though they told me they have offered a great discount due to the inconvenient they have brought). When I was able to finally settle down, it was after 8pm, so there is no more sunset viewing on the beach. For anyone who have stayed at this hotel, and wondering what "6A" is like, you can go down to the street, and there is one (yes, only one) unit in between a bunch of garage doors. Would you pay close to 400 a night for something like that? In case if you book through Kayak and was offer this street unit, my advice is you can same your time and ask for a refund right away.

Plussat: great location

Miinukset: terrible service tried rooms and hotel tried to get me to cancel kayak booking and re-book directly with them, presumably to save the booking fee unhelpful staff if you have to stay there make sure you get a room with a sea view

Miinukset: The room was small and dirty. Was angry how much I paid to stay in such a dump. Not worth spending that kind of money for this place.

Plussat: The location of this low budget motel was nice!

Miinukset: We stayed in the presidential suite. The room was very dirty cobwebs everywhere and stains on the carpet the bathroom was awful the rooms needs a complete make over.

Plussat: I surprised my husband with a quick getaway to Santa Cruz and booked a room at the Casablanca. I was shocked to find out how close to the water it was! With the warf on your right and the Boardwalk on your left, our stay was complete with the Casablanca on the Beach! We could walk right down to the water or any shops or restaurants. Our room was a family room with a cute living area we could see the water from and a private room in the back. The decor was vintage yet updated and it was fairly quiet. They even had a great little continental breakfast- not the typical stale bagels and coffee! We will definitely be coming back :)

Plussat: Loved the location, charm, updates and view. Our room resembled a studio apartment with a refrigerator, stove & kitchen area. We will definitely come back for longer stays with the kids and save money by having the kitchenette.

Miinukset: The hardwood floor appeared clean but did leave our socks dirty. I expect this in ever hotel though. Even in $300/nt carpeted rooms. That's why we always wear socks. Everything looked and smelled clean otherwise.

Plussat: Great location, nice terrace but needs updated furniture. Staff was friendly and the rooms were clean.

Miinukset: Older resort need of facelift. No screens on windows or window locks. Tile was broken in bathroom and shower stall very small. The vent above the toilet was open and not screwed in.

Plussat: I loved the proximity to the boardwalk and the beach access. Restaurants were all in walking distance. Off street parking was great. Staff very nice and let us keep our car there while we spent the day at the boardwalk after checking out.

Miinukset: This hotel was extremely overpriced as are most in this area. For just $20 more, we could have been in a much nicer and updated hotel. While it had charm, it was not worth the money we paid. Also, we came during construction and were placed in the room right next to the “workshop”. Kayak had said waterfront view; however, we had a view of the parking lot. The balcony was accessed only by leaving the room. And while that did have a view, it was full of paint and buckets of cement which made it basically inaccessible.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: The carpet was disgusting, very old with a bad odor! The bed was worn out. 1980's tv.

Plussat: Nice bathroom

Miinukset: Beds soft

Plussat: Loved it

Plussat: It was nice how close it was to the boardwalk.

Miinukset: The staff was very rude. No greeting when arrived. After getting settled in our room (30min) in we were next to the cleaning room, so all we heard was banging, loud rolling carts, very loud talking of the staff and more banging! I asked the lady if we could switch rooms, her response was there is no rooms left, sorry " with a blank stare" like she was waiting for me to just get out of her office already. About 5 min later, a younger lady came by and said we do have another room. I thought that was strange considering how rude and adamant the other lady was about them not having another room. So she showed me the room ( I paid for a king bedroom), the room she showed me was a very very small queen size bedroom with a very small bedroom. It would have been ok with me because it was away from all the banging and loud talking from the staff, until I asked if it would be a cheaper price and she said no. How can it be the same price for a significantly smaller room? So I said no thank you and she just turned around and walked away saying absolutely nothing. Needless to say I had a very bad experience at this hotel and I will not be staying there again. It's overpriced, not nice and the staff is very rude and unhelpful. Take your money else where.

Plussat: Close proximity to beach and downtown. Fairly priced (I went in January) we got a kitchenette and separate bedrooms within the unit.

Plussat: You get a lot of space for your $$! It was two bedrooms with a kitchenette and full bathroom. They have a nice little breakfast available if you want to grab a quick bowl of cereal or muffin before heading to the beach. The closeness to the boardwalk is what really makes this place worth it.

Miinukset: I expected it to be a little dirty and it was. I saw a tiny cockroach, but I mean it's an old beach motel with a circle of a few units... I knew I'd run into some kind of creepy crawly.

Plussat: It was close to the Boardwalk and the Downtown area. The parking and wifi were free.

Miinukset: I did not like the overall quality of this place. It was run down and overpriced. The "breakfast" was some sugar-filled, pre-packaged pastries and unnatural juice. The rooms were very small with tacky interior and run down aspects: carpet, AC/heat unit, dilapidated furniture. The sheets on the bed were clean, although the bed itself was small and uncomfortable. I didn't like the lack of privacy that the rooms offered - we had to keep curtains shut always because the window looked out to the parking lot. Anyone could just come up and look into our room. We had to pay for ice from a machine. Overall, I was very disappointed with what we got for our money. It was not an enjoyable, relaxing or comfortable experience. In fact, it was one of the worst places I have stayed in. It was an upset to a nice weekend away.

Miinukset: Stay Away!!! My wife and I both woke up with large welts all over our arms and legs after staying there. We both got all bit up by something while we slept. Room 141. When they came and "cleaned" our room all they did was pick up the used towels off the floor and fold them up and put them back on the rack. They also took the soap and did not leave any new soap. This place is way overpriced. The rooms here should be no more the $40-50 a night, that is the quality of this place. Disgusting.

Plussat: Close to the board walk and the beach

Miinukset: Wifi never worked , the tv was going out and had a green screen

Plussat: Room was clean and fairly good location

Miinukset: Room smelled . Breakfast weak

Plussat: The room was cute, and the bathroom was nice. Very close to the boardwalk and restaurants.

Miinukset: When purchasing the room, it said that is was completed paid for, and that HBO and refrigerators were included in the room. When we got to the hotel, I had to put down additional $100 deposit that has not yet been returned. In the room, there was no refrigerator and no HBO. We had perishable items that needed to be refrigerated. When we asked about the refrigerator, they said it was an additional $10 a night.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!! Dirty, overpriced, horrible.

Plussat: The works were nice The pool was clean

Plussat: the cheap rate we got

Miinukset: i want you impressed with a whole lot. it has nice appearance outside but definitely not inside based on on our room...

Plussat: We chose this hotel, because of the location.

Miinukset: The overall was dirty. Commom area sofas were dirty. Carpet in the room was dirty. The dinet chairs in room were dirty. Jacuzzi filled with kids. Not relaxing environment.

Plussat: The only thing we liked was the waffles at breakfast. We had the breakfast provided by the hotel which was ok. The girl at the desk the night we arrived was great.

Miinukset: When we arrived, hotel is under construction which we were unaware of. We checked In and went to our room. The room smelled like cigarettes! We had no towels in our room. We called the front they brought two towels and a spray. She explained "I don't know why it could smell like cigerettes? This is a smoke free facility!" Our room itself smelled horible the entire time. We had a queen bed, with a pull out couch, and a patio according to the details. The couch was dirty, I would not have let my friends sleep on it. The patio was a sliding glass door that opened to a 2 by 4 foot cement slab, and then the backyard of the entire hotel where we had a gorgeous view of tarps, trash, and other hotel guests. Far from what the pictures looked like. The breakfast was our favorite part because I love waffles. But the already cooked egg with fake cheese inside was horrible. The orange juice was so concentrated I had to mix some water into it. All in all I would not stay there again. It smelled, the room was dirty, and the view... What view?

Plussat: Not one thing the room had part of it remodel and the other tours the bathroom was old the shower old and dirty.

Miinukset: I did not like the room and the bathroom what was Mo's it important it wasn't clean .

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Location, the hotel was within walking distance to the beach.

Miinukset: Overpriced for the quality of the hotel. While reserving this hotel parking was supposedly included, I had to pay a parking fee upon arrival. When I arrived there was sand on the chairs and on my bed. The bathroom smelled and did not look clean. There was only one towel available, I had to ask for more. I ended getting a few hand towels, instead of bath towels.

Plussat: location was great.pool was nice.

Miinukset: toilet ran the whole time.lights didn't work.towels were old and dingy.room needed some fresh paint and baseboards were missing.

Plussat: Room wasn't ready on time so we got a free upgrade

Miinukset: Parking was full even though we had a parking pass but they made a spot for us

Plussat: Walking distance to boardwalk, pet friendly, they even have a grassy yard area for dogs to prance around. It was a pleasant, affordable weekend getaway for my boyfriend and me

Miinukset: The beds are pretty hard but with the low price you pay there isn't much room for petty complaints

Plussat: The facility is well cared for - newly painted, clean with attention to small details like the lighting in the courtyard. Breakfast was nice. Staff very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: Our room was a little odd - a huge closet that was an obvious retrofit because the door was held closed by a lock on the outside to keep it from hitting the front door (someone could be locked inside the closet...) Poor lighting - no light switch near the door - at night, you had to enter a dark room to turn on the lights, Minimal lighting - bedside lights and one recessed light made for a very dark room, Bathroom retrofit with a strange double door entry and odd shower configuration.

Plussat: The room and bathroom was large and spacious. Beds were comfortable. The pool was open until 10 p.m. Walking distance to the boardwalk.

Miinukset: Towels were dirty. Wouldn't clean our room. Had to ask for clean towels after 3 days. No a/c in our room. The FREE WIFI never worked in our room. Said they would check it and never did. Some staff members were not friendly. The breakfast could use some pastries. Not everyone likes waffles.
