The staff was so attentive and caring

We love the retro vibe of the Dream Inn. It is a classic throwback tribute to the surfer days from the 70's. It is convenient for just about everything for tourists in Santa Cruz.

Great location, loved the pool areawith food and drink service! Beachfront can't be beat!

The views were amazing, staff was great and room was awesome.

Great place for our 30th anniversary

No notes, just great!

The room is so clean and cute, location is awesome, and the view is fantastic! Definitely will be back again.

The perfect Santa Cruz beach hotel right in the middle of all the best stuff!

The staff were the stars of our stay. They were extremely kind and patient when my wife lost her box of medication. Very attentive to our needs. The room was immaculate (we always to a bed bug check on the first day) and everything was clean and spotless. The view was incredible, absolutely breath taking during sunrise/sunset with the shimmering water reflecting the colorful sky. Ended up extending our stay 2 nights.

Beautiful place to stay and a close walk to The Boardwalk and Pier. Excellent customer service

Beautiful stay by the ocean.....the only place I will book in Santa Cruz.

We loved our mini vacation at the Dream Inn. We only live an hour and a half away, but wanted to spend some time swimming and hot tubbing and at the beach. The room was beautiful, the weather was great and the service staff was extremely helpful and friendly.

This property is amazing. The views of the ocean are like no other. They have a wonderful pool overlooking the beach, close to the boardwalk close to the lighthouse and the pier. Couldn’t ask for a better location The staff was super friendly. The room was beautiful. We will definitely be staying here again

Great hotel, would recommend

Absolutely perfect! We were incredibly impressed with our service during the entire visit. We have been to a lot of resorts and this was by far our favorite! Directly on the beach, the pool was actually warm, amazing bar tender, within very short walking distance of the pier and of the Boardwalk.

Was automatically charged for Valet parking. No hot water in the morning. No water in room for hours on 1 st day and the second day, same thing.

Well maintained, great restaurant and staff.

It's very close to the Boardwalk and has a great restaurant. Staff is incredibly helpful.

Couldn’t ask for a better oceanfront getaway… The Dream Inn is the perfect mix of sand and sunsets with every room overlooking beautiful Cowells beach, the Santa Cruz pier and famous Beach Boardwalk. All of the staff are on point, from the moment you pull up to valet to front desk, management and housekeeping. Everyone at The Dream is upbeat and professional with an eagerness to help make your stay amazing. We had the most enjoyable week splashing in the waves, sunbathing by the pool, riding bikes through town and falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves below. It’s a great place for kids and adults with so much to do you can’t go wrong. My only suggestion is to make sure you request a room above the 3rd floor, just trust me on this one- you’ll be grateful you did!

It was a nice stay.

When we booked, it said we could have 5 people in the room. When we arrived they could not accommodate 5 people. One person needed to sleep on the outside deck or on the floor.

Too expensive. Carpets need cleaning, in the rooms and out. Room was clean. Overall though still an incredible hotel with the ocean view and pool access.

Sleepy beach town vibes with an overall cool ocean front atmosphere. Great experience. Left our balcony door open all night to listen to the crashing waves and seals barking. The hotel restaurant is legit, some of the best food we had on our voyage from San Diego to San Francisco. This review by a simple Michigan traveler.

It was great being so close to the beach

Had a great weekend!! My girlfriend and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. It was perfect except for we didn’t stay long enough!! Thank you for you’re hospitality

We have stayed at the Dream Inn a number of times, with our kids, as a couple and recently with our two grandsons. We had a great stay, swimming, beach, wharf and Boardwalk all in walking distance. What’s not to like? Staff is super friendly

Really amazing stay!! View was incredible, guest services were amazing, bed was comfortable, exactly what i wanted from a beach stay. And the pool and hot tub added bonus!! definitely worth the extra cost!!

Good stay at the hotel

Great location, lovely hotel, and friendly staff

Great location & amenities

You are paying for a great location. The rooms feel old & the beds/bedding are very uncomfortable for the price of this hotel. The room is not worth the price, so only spend the money if you really want the location.

Excellent!
