Love the place, even though it's too expensive in my opinion. I stay here several times each Summer/Fall. Falling asleep with the sound of the ocean is wonderful. Pool service is a pleasure and the beach access is terrific.

Dream inn is a great place..
Every room is ocean view... A great place to relax..There is so much to do. Nice heated pool.. Beautiful sandy beach. So many restaurants to choose from. Lots of shops in walking distance..
You will love it!!!!

The hotel was very nice with balconies overlooking the ocean. The beds were comfortable. Our room was on the top floor and we didn't hear too much noise from the hallways so it was quiet which was good. The location is nice. It's a quick walk to the wharf and boardwalk. The beach is right outside the hotel. The pool and spa are all nice amenities as well.

My friend was able to get another room when she asked and both of us were able to get late check outs with out a problem. The valet was also very quick.

So, my boyfriend and i just returned from spending a single night there in one of their suites. The location is really convenient, the rooms are just beautiful and the staff is very friendly. There were a few suuuuper minor things (they didn't call us when the room was ready, the fireplace didn't work and they never sent anyone to come fix it when we called) that took place, but honestly, they were so inconsequential that the experience was still perfect.

Well, they sent out an online survey and my boyfriend noted the very few things that could have been improved but made sure it was clear we still really had a grand time there. Since the online survey, he's been called twice with apologies, sent an email, and had the entire cost of the room comped. He protested since comping was completely unnecessary, but they insisted. This place is AWESOME!!

Seriously, if you are staying at any hotel in Santa Cruz, stay here. They are totally committed to your happiness and making sure you enjoy your stay. Hands down, the next time we're in Santa Cruz, we'll be back to the Dream Inn.
