This is a fabulous place to stay right on the beach/boardwalk of Santa Cruz. First, the service is excellent, every staff member we encountered was extremely helpful and went out of their way to help us. They have free coffee in the mornings, snow cones in the afternoon, and popcorn at night, so something for everyone - that was a big hit! The room was spacious, beds very comfortable. We had a room with a kitchen, which was nice, although we only used the oven once, but it was fine. There are great restaurants within walking distance, and you really cannot beat the Picnic Basket right downstairs for breakfast and lunch. We loved the big chairs on the balcony, it is so nice to sit out there. The pool and hot tub space is really nice, there is also a fire table there, which was cool. If you want to be on the beach/boardwalk in Santa Cruz, you cannot beat the location, the wharf pier is right across the street, the amusement park/arcade is just a couple of blocks away - the beach is great, we saw sea lions on the pier and one night on the beach ( in a tidepool). We drove downtown to the amazing bookstore, visited the NHS skate museum, the Santa Cruz Boardroom skateshop, and even did a day trip to visit Stanford (about 50 minutes away) Our two teenagers really loved it, which meant we all had a good time. It was really a great stay! I highly recommend.

Great suite for family of 5 with teens. Ideal location right at the beach/boardwalk. Fantastic views from decking/sun terrace. Friendly, helpful staff. Kids enjoyed complimentary snow cones and popcorn which was a really nice touch. Comfortable beds.

We stopped here during part of our honeymoon and the view and room were great. The rooms are very spacious and we had a great view of both the ocean and the wharf. The pool area was nice and there was a fire pit. There was also a laundry room available. The hotel offered free coffee drinks, free snow cones, and free pop corn through out the day, which is great if you had children. All of the staff members were extremely friendly.

The location couldn’t have been better, great room size, unique amenities, but the PEOPLE made the experience. The people working there were kind, helpful, and authentic. I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to come back. Get a room with an ocean view. Eat at the picnic basket downstairs. If you have kids, they’ll love the sno cones and pop corn.

Great location and beach view. Coffee was great too! TV wasn’t working but we didn’t need it for the 1 night. Too many cool things outside:) nice pool, fire pit and hot tub. The restaurant downstairs had great breakfast. There was dancing and music on the pier and some nice shops too!

Absolutely the best hotel I've stayed in Santa cruz, beautiful beach view, enjoy epic sunrises and sunsets. Heated pool and jacuzzi,plus excellent staff like Stephanie, she really went out of her way to make sure all my needs were met,she also served me popcorn. Old school hospitality is rare to find, sometimes little gesture like that really mean alot!

We loved this place! Amazing location and the room we got was huge. We were able to spread out as a family of 5 without our youngest son starfishing on us in a queen bed. It had a pull out couch, a murphy bed, and a queen bed. The view of the pier was fantastic. The staff was so nice and the check in popcorn was a nice touch. Would absolutely come again.

This was like staying at the beach house of a friend more than a hotel/motel, with cozy touches like seashell soap dishes, sand dollar hooks, wooden pegs, cute signs, white shutters, baskets for towels, and charmingly mismatched cutlery. The view was incredible, and the complimentary barrista morning coffee and afternoon popcorn were welcome bonuses. We were there on a rain soaked weekend to celebrate my daughter's birthday, but we felt so cozy in our one bedroom suite, that it was painful to leave. This is our third Santa Cruz hotel in the past few months, and we liked the other two, but as my son said, next time, we will check this one first. Minor reasons why it's not perfectly perfect: weirdly, no bed side table lamps--only overhead lights. But aside from that, the only thing that really would have made it completely perfect for me was a fireplace--but on non-rainy days, I wouldn't have even thought about it. We look forward to returning when it's sunny so we can really enjoy the amazing sun deck!

We chose this hotel for the large patio overlooking the ocean and it did not disappoint. It rained during our trip but we could still open all the shades and watch the ocean from bed. The hotel is walking distance to the boardwalk. Room was a little squishy with the two beds but was comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.
