Beach front property! Views are amazing! Staff is wonderful! Beautiful place to stay!

The bed was hard. We had to ask for a pillow top. Housekeeping was very accommodating. Issue was taken care of right away!

"Comfortable and convenient Santa Cruz location"

Exceptional

I came for a class reunion that included a reception at the pool lounge and buffet banquet. Food and service were excellent. There is a heated pool as well as access to the beach. My room had a balcony that faced the bay, and the sound of waves breaking on the beach was very relaxing. Walks East and West Cliff Drive and to the Wharf were very accessible and scenic. The area is also very bikable.

We stayed at the Dream Inn for Mother's Day 2026 - it was a great surprise to wake up to "Happy Mother's Day" written in the sand! The staff is always pleasant, the views are amazing and we think it is the best location on the Boardwalk. They also have onsite charging stations.

I often stay here with my young children as a weekend getaway from the east bay. The pool deck is fun rain or shine, and all of the pool staff are very friendly. Jack O’Neills restaurant on site is great. The valet service is also nice for traveling with kids. Shout out to housekeeping’s Dolores who tracked down my child’s stuffy toy he had left behind after our last visit. We can’t wait to stay again soon!
