Top Santa Cruz Wharf Hotel Reviews

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"We found this hotel right on the beach in Santa Cruz to be ideal for a seaside night. The rooms are artfully decorated in a classic California beach theme and they are scrupulously maintained and cleaned. The amenities are excellent and beds comfortable. The pool is small but the chairs can face the ocean and, of course, the beach is just down a stair. The adjacent Jack O’Neill restaurant down the first floor corridor was very good with great evening views. Beach volleyball etc was available for the kids and young adults. The wharf is adjacent for a stroll off the sand or walk under it along a half mile of sand."
