Beautiful clean and classy retro hotel. Loved the oceanfront balconies, robes in the room, hot tub, and tequila happy hour!

Beautiful view from our room. We could watch our boys play on the beach from the pool and room.
30.10.2025 Ansar
Balcony view was amazing during the day, we had clear view of the ocean, except that swiming pool lights in the night were on your face depending on your room was not a great experiance, THAT SHOULD CHNAGE in swimming pool, secondly, they advertise as breakfast avaible but in reality not included in the room booking price we only learnt in the morning and was a surprise, third, the front desk experiance was not welcoming for me, they just checked in and provided no info about anything we just fogured pur way to our room and the thing about vallet parking i had check with fromt deak before giving the keys, the vallet guys shoudl aleeady know based on booking last names etc, over the property location is great if they can fix above issues, probably visit again !!!

This is a great property and has a very cool 70s vibe. The location is awesome and the amenities are very good.

I have stayed at the Dream Inn for 25 years or more. You just can’t beat the ocean views. overall our stay was good.

You go for the view as it’s truly special, rooms did not align to a 4 star hotel as there are worn bathrooms and peeling wallpaper. The coffee cart offers great options for purchase and the restaurant was good. The front desk did not feel very informed ( gave us incorrect directions to our room twice and outdated information on website specific to available activities)

Beautiful decor. Easy access to the beach and places to rinse off. Excellent amenities including a rain shower head, toiletries, Keurig coffee machine with dark roast, decaf, and tropical green tea. Refrigerator. Ocean view. The bed is super comfy. Amazing staff
07.10.2025 Ronda
Love this property is on the beach. Full view of the ocean with no obstructions. Great pool and spa. Hate that check in is at 4 and check out is 11. You don’t even get 24 hours on the property. They were able to check us in a bit early. And when we asked for a late check out, they said no you have to be out by 11 and they were very rude about it.

Absolutely beautiful. Amazing views of the ocean and boardwalk and it’s right on the beach. Slight problems with water temperature sometimes, but out of all 6 showers taken in the hotel room only one had problems. Rooms are nice and spacious, and each room has a decently large balcony. Cafe goods are fairly priced and good tasting. Pool is a nice temperature and hot tub is very nice, also in walking distance of the big boardwalk and you can buy tickets in the hotel. I would recommend this place if you are thinking of staying in Santa Cruz.
