    Great location, a little bit outdated rooms though. But great staff very friendly. Nice views of the ocean!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Super spacious room, great views, great parking and easy access to the beach and the boardwalk.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Close to beach with great views. Close to wharf and restaurants.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Extremely helpful staff! Excellent location-convenient to everything

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great location for exploring the boardwalk

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Older place, very clean and in a very nice location. Got a free upgraded room and it was way nicer than I was expecting. Room 105 had a private patio overlooking the volleyball courts next to the ocean and pier. Had a small kitchen and fireplace with a brass tub in front of it. King size bed, really nice shower. I’d definitely stay here again. The staff here was very nice.

    Room was very small and did not have a dresser or drawers to put clothes in. Room 203 is on the corner, which has 5 sides and had only 4 inches between the bed and air conditioner. We were informed via text near midnight that our reservations was double-booked, and to contact the manager in the morning. The manager charged us an additional $100 for the first night.

    10/10 would recommend and stay here again. Great location just steps from the main beach. Less than a 5 minute walk to the pier and the boardwalk. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. View from the room was amazing and the deck with tables and lounge chairs made it feel like a luxury vacation for a decent price

    Great hotel, older but clean & a great view of the beach. The staff was excellent! So helpful & great.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Beautiful property- however air did not work until looked at and the bathroom was very heavy chlorinated smell.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Our room was clean and spacious! Bathroom was clean and open. The view was clear to the ocean from our balcony. The only thing the place didn’t have was a restaurant or a bar, but we were close to near by places across the street.

    The TV remote didn’t work and still didn’t work after they ‘fixed’ it. Long black hairs on the bed, pillow and bathroom floor. Pillows were horrible - stuffing in clumps and they folded them over to the size of throw pillows with tucked in pillowcases to make them fit - replacement pillows provided were exactly the same but one came with another long black hair. Sink had a sewage smell coming from the drain which they tried to address, but it was back the next day.

    My friend and I stayed here for a night on our roadtrip to San Diego. The staff was very friendly, and when we left a perfume behind they kindly agreed to keep it until we can get back to pick it up! Very thankful for them. The view was beautiful and the boardwalk was fun to past, despite it being night time and closed. The vibe reminded me of Italy, very fun! Definitely get your money’s worth with this place!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We had the family room, which is such a great, large, unexpected room to have in a hotel, near the beach. I highly recommend it for groups that don't mind sharing the sleeping space like a sleepover. Conveniently located, cool, quaint property.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    My room was very small and had no sitting option but on the bed. The elephant feet above my head woke me each night. It is close to the boardwalk and I enjoyed sitting on the deck.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We got a Sun Room with a fantastic view and extra bed. Location is terrific, parking is terrific. Was quiet at night.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Not clean! The room was pretty cross, dingy and dirty, and we even found and had to kill a cockroach. See attached photos. I’m currently washing every item of clothing we had on the trip. The location was great but everything else was awful. The room was on the street and you could hear everything, there was plaster on the walls peeling paint, I could go on and on. And no phone in the room just a piece of laminated paper with who to call or text on your own phone. We will NEVER stay there again.

    Room was not clean. Bathroom smelled like mold and the tv did not work.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    This renovated property is across the street from the beach and a block from the Santa Cruz pier. It is blocks from the train that takes you to the redwoods. It couldn’t be any better of a location. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for a visit.

    Don’t expect anything beyond great location. It states breakfast is included on hotels.com, but that is not included. Lots of stairs, so if needing accommodations contact them beforehand. The walls are paper thin, so we tried to be as mindful and considerate as possible. We loved our stay but based on other reviews our expectations were that of a bare bones Airbnb and not a hotel, and that was pretty spot on. If you set your expectations low, you will love your stay here.
