cleaning of the rooms every day. Nice clean room .
Santa Cruz was surf central California long before the Beach Boys sang about it. The Surfing Museum in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse tells stories of those who have braved some of the world’s best waves.
Overlooking the ocean rollers are the Coconut Grove Ballroom and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk - the oldest amusement park in the state of CA, and the last original one on the West Coast. Its historic carousel, rollercoasters and rides are a colourful backdrop to Cowell’s Beach, best viewed from the Sky Glider cable cars.
Jutting into Monterey Bay is the wharf where sea lions bask and pelicans decide on their next meal. Seafood restaurants are abundant here and the bars provide lively nightlife. Pacific Avenue is the main shopping area and one street away is the Museum of Art & History.
Unsurprisingly for a surfer hotspot, the city has a liberal outlook and is known for political activism - a far cry from the era when the Santa Cruz Mission was established. The mission is now a state park alongside Natural Bridges Beach and the Big Basin Redwoods in forested hills behind the city, home to the gravity-defying Mystery Spot.
Booking.com’s Santa Cruz accommodation includes pet-friendly motels, hotels with hot tubs and cheap inns near UCSC.

Fun beach town.
Fun beach town. The Victorian architecture of homes was lovely. We visited the high school track to run and that was very nice. We only stayed one night but could have easily made it a 3 day stay. Shopping, seal watching, good food, art, carnival rides, sun and the beach. Wonderful for all ages

I believe the hotel is a nice location to stay, they might consider getting better maintanance, and cleaning help, some one that can speak english, to better help the guest. Jessica, was very polite, and tried to help as much as possible. There were just a lot of little things, they could have been prevented, especially when you pay the high price charged there. When booking, I thought I was booking direct with the property, never knew bookings, com, jumped in to the equasion. So when I asked if they honored AAA, or AARP discounts, they said no because our room was booked by a third party. Also asked for room with 2 queens, was told they were sold out, which forced us to book 2 seperate rooms, after arriveing, found out they had suites for four people. I think this was a money thing, for bookings.com

The location was the best!
The location was the best! The stairs are a lot of work if you have issues. I can't believe the Boardwalk is closed on fridays! If you are planning a friday night adventure at the boardwalk you will need to find something else to do.

Santa Cruz gets sleazy fast (a lot of justly disaffected youth manifesting the consequences of a tattered social fabric & like), but the near-perfect climate year-round, the surrounding (2nd or 3rd growth, but still....) redwoods, challenging cols (lots of category 2s & 1s), vast fields of agriculture (it is delightful to cycle through the fields on what amount to ruelles; these areas are intensely redolent of earth, manure & whatever is being cultivated, plus it makes one appreciate just how back-breaking is the labor that goes into producing one's strawberries & artichokes & like) & vegan eating options (especially the bakeries) make any visit worthwhile, especially if you're from an area that does not have that year-round ideal climate. I recommend cycling up SkyLine or HighLand or Empire Grade or getting out in the fields toward MonteRey. Country roads are nearly uniformly narrow, but traffic is mostly light (minus HighWay 9) & drivers generally courteous (again, minus HighWay 9). Santa Cruz even has the mark of any good location -- a nearby Grocery Outlet -- which, due to its location on the edge of town (it may actually be in Soquel), is easy to integrate into the end of a ride for some yummy and cheap vegan delights =)
The location was great for what me and my 2 kids were in Santa Cruz doing. Could walk to the boardwalk and enjoy the beach. Our room was located right by the pool and we had a bit of pool smell to our room, but wasn't too bad and after getting settled, barely noticed it. Our room was fairly clean and it had everything we needed. Hotel felt safe and quiet and was surprised by that since it is close to a main road. The check in process was smooth and the person assisting when we checked out was very nice. Great customer service
The location of the hotel was wonderful. When we checked in we found out they had upgraded our reservation! After 8 hrs on the road it was a great surprise. We had a huge ocean view, lounge chairs on our deck, the "kitchen" amenities were amazing and the oversized shower with double shower heads were an added surprise. I can't wait to travel back to Santa Cruz to stay at the Beach Street Inn!
Perfect location for accessing all the fun activities in Santa Cruz! Jane is such a sweet lady! She is so friendly and takes the time to walk the property with you and explain what all is around to do. She truly cares about her guests stay and their comfort. The hotel is a cute little vintage motel stay, very clean rooms with a “comfort of home” feel. We will definitely be back!
The Dream Inn was right on the beach and also an easy walk to the downtown. Staff were friendly and competent. The decor appealed to our taste (midcentury with a surfing motif!), pool was big enough to do laps and the hotel restaurant was pricey but excellent. Overall we had a good experience and plan to return.
Attractive, clean, comfortable room. Very nice breakfast bar, in an upstairs area. Well located for access to the campus of UC Santa Cruz, up the hill. Not far from the downtown, easily accessible. On a main street, but we weren't bothered by traffic noise.
This is my favorite moderately-priced hotel in Santa Cruz. The staff are lovely, the location is great, and the rooms are clean and cozy, with plenty of electrical outlets, storage areas for bags, a big tub, and a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker.
Very charming hotel in Santa Cruz with a beach view. It is an old building, but very nicely decorated. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, clean, they do provide a very good breakfast. Main pier, beach is basically 4-5 minutes walking distance.
This was a clean property and a reasonable price as it was a big weekend in Santa Cruz seeing as it was the weekend of the 100th Anniversary for the rollercoaster. This was a reasonable price. Basic, but all you need for a one night stay
Location, location, location. Can´t beat those sea views from your window! Also loved the hotel vibe, really what we were looking for visiting a surf town as Santa Cruz is. We could walk everywhere and it felt a lot safer than I expected.
The facilities were clean and stylishly furnished. The hotel was located well, within minutes of a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and breakfast places. It was a short drive to UC Santa Cruz. The management was responsive and helpful.
Hands down my favorite hotel in the area. I come out to Santa Cruz every year and for the last two years I stayed here. So long as it's not booked I won't stay anywhere else. Lovely views, close to pier, friendly people.
Its a nice motel.
Fantastic location directly across the road from Santa Cruz boardwalk and amusements..
The room had a balcony, fridge and microwave.
Ample complimentary parking.
The location of the hotel was excellent, within walking distance from the main attractions in Santa Cruz. The hotel was also pet-friendly, which was a huge plus!
Nice place to stay in Santa Cruz, even better than expected. Beds were comfortable and the room was large enough for us. Free parking inside is a good plus.
