Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous view from the balcony, highly recommend the cloud rooms. Lovely stay, helpful staff. Getting from hotel down to the beach in a wheelchair requires a bit of a maze but it is doable and the staff knew how to direct me through that maze without having to look it up which is always nice from an accessibility training standpoint."
