"The view of the beach depends on what room you get. I couldn’t see the beach from my room but I could from 10 steps away from my room. The pool area has a view of the beach as well. Excellent location right across from boardwalk and beach. "

"Wonderful experience"

"Great stay, we stayed in a King Bed, pullout couch. No complaints there. Only issue was the valet caused a minor damage to our rear bumper, but the company let us know they would take care of it."

"Yes"

"The breakfast was good, staff was friendly and helpful. This spot it's great to be close to the boardwalk and the downtown area and other surrounding areas the only things that were not so great is the parking is really tight"

"The experience was pretty disappointing overall. While the place advertises a lot of amenities, several of them were not working during my stay, which made it feel misleading. The room itself was extremely small, honestly felt like the size of a jail cell, and it was not clean. There was a noticeable weird smell that never really went away, which made it hard to relax. Between the lack of functioning amenities, the cleanliness issues, and the uncomfortable room, it just was not a great stay."

"Pretty basic room, it was an OK shape. Best part about this place is they have indoor pool and hot tub pretty close to walk to the boardwalk"

"Room was mostly clean except the basin. Bed was comfortable. The hotel is showing its age. The parking situation was not good. Not enough spaces and were made primarily for compact vehicles. "

"I have stayed here three times in the past year. I am a quasi local. Friendly, clean, safe, local, uncomplicated. Lobby has space to sit and read, cozy fireplace, big windows, for when you want to give your travel companion space. Fresh brewed coffee in the morning, restaurant on site for lunch and dinner and the locals use the restaurant. Pool is heated when open for season, call ahead to confirm. It's a bit old school, you park in front of your room, rooms are updated, super functional but not spacious unless you book a suite. The wifi is a bit weak, access email reliability, yes, stream movies you will probably get buffering. The rooms are fine for solo, duo or couples, or family with one child travellers. Ironically, it's a good location as there is a lot that is accessible by car within 5 minute drive. Please note, even though the maps show local roads, it is not walkable, there are no shoulders, local road is narrow, no shoulder, people speed, or are restricted access. Don't plan to get a morning walk or take the baby out in a stroller or think you will walk to town for the day. Yes there is a bus, but it's once an hour. You must have a car and a 5 minute drive will get you to parks and open space, 10 min to beach. Super easy to find. Can be pricey during beach season and weekends, all places in Santa Cruz are. I will stay here again."
