Dream Inn Santa Cruz

We stayed from a Monday to a Friday. It was our first time at Dream Inn and we booked an ADA room as my husband uses a walker to get around. Our room was on the lobby floor and the restaurant and pool were on different floors. But there are a couple of elevators which made it easy for us to get to both of these locations. We had breakfast every morning and a couple of dinners at the restaurant which we really enjoyed. There are also many restaurants in the wharf area so lots of options. I loved sitting out by the pool. There were some children swimming but for the most part they were reasonably quiet. We found the staff very helpful in answering any of our questions. The room was always clean and fit our needs perfectly. We had great weather and a great time! I am looking forward to coming back again next summer.

Check in was quick and simple. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were very spacious and clean and the view was PERFECT! Definitely will be returning. O and I highly recommend Jack O’Neil Restaurant. I ordered a steak and it was DELICIOUS!!

Perfect location for any occasion

Very good

Beautiful views, close to shops, restaurants, amusement park, easily walkable, pool and on the beach.

Great location with direct beach access. It’s an older property, but clean. Super friendly staff.

Superb

Beach view

Very good

Beautiful views Views

Our stay at the Dream Inn was fantastic. The staff was polite and more than helpful. The amenities blew me away, I was not expecting the resort level experience that we received. Sipping slushy drinks by the pool, looking out onto the ocean, I could feel my stress just melting away.

Loved everything about everything. Especially the ocean view and coffee shop on the lobby. NA

Right on the beach. Restaurant on site. Beautiful room. The room we were in was right off the lobby and across from the elevators so the noise level was loud and busy all day and night. We were celebrating our 40th Anniversary so that part was a little annoying.

Great location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Beautiful sea view from the room. Full of kids, noisy communal areas and pool. No complementary breakfast. Should have a few adult only spaces and seperate bar area, as couldn't use any of these as they were too noisy and busy. However I can really recommend the Big Basin Vineyards, as a great place for a quiet drink and tapas.

Love the old California style. We had a very enjoyable stay, The hotel is positioned nicely near the beach and boardwalk, the property is well cared for and managed. The only down side was the extraordinarily high price (twice that of a more fancy hotel) for accomodations during the summer season.

Wonderful place to stay. Beautiful view, helpful staff, definitely recommend

Very good

Cool location but staff talks through you not TO you. Wasn’t impressed with additional add on charges that added up to 3/4 the room rate….. tired of greed and hoarding of $$$$ that doesn’t do anything to ease and make nice for clients

First visit at this hotel and it was beautiful our room had a nice ocean view and a slight view of the pool area. The rooms were clean and we fell comfortable with our young Babies.
