There was a mix up with our room type, ocean view. We had booked a 1 night on hotels.com. Premium king - full ocean view. We checked in and they assigned us to a room 3rd floor with view to the swimming pool. We called and discussed it with Matthew, front desk Manager. Came back down and Matthew worked on getting us another room, #605, partial ocean view. He was very attentive, decisive and committed to make our stay memorable (celebrating my wife's birthday and our anniversary). Since we had paid more for an ocean view he compensated us with a credit on our account and a nice bottle of wine. Outstanding service and delivery.. We love this hotel, overall experience, we will be big supporters of this property and will recommend it to all our friends."

We read books and ate dinners on the decks overlooking the ocean, enjoyed quiet nights even though the hotel was full, and even got some help with bike repair from the hotel handyman. It was a great weekend." - "The property is chopped. No smooth flow. Up the stairs then down and up again. Fortunately not more than 8-10 at a time. And that ends the down side. On the up side the location could only be better if the room was ON the sand instead of just across the street. The views are spectacular! And the location is right between The Boardwalk and the pier. It could not be better. Everything in walking distance. We had a baby next door crying all night, but we could NOT here him well. You had to listen closely. The room was just fine, not great but certainly enough for my wife and our twin 9 yr olds. We will be back!"

Absolutely no complaints!" - "Nice room and great staff!" - "The guy who’s the manager was fantastic I’m coming back soon and I love the breakfast too " - "Staff was very nice and friendly. " - "Happy to stay here and have a couple blocks to the beach and boardwalk amusement park. This hotel is owned and operated by a family. They have done a fine job at remodeling the rooms. Please do not hesitate to stay here just because the outside of the hotel seems not as shiny and new as others. Know that you are supporting an immigrant family and trust that your room is superbly clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Thank you!"

The staff is always friendly and the hotel though on a busy street is quiet. " - "My wife and I stayed here for two nights. The property is located on Ocean street and it is walking distance to downtown Santa Cruz. The location in the heart of Santa Cruz made it a perfect location for our weekend on the beach. They had free WiFi and a deluxe breakfast that even had waffles. I was impressed with the 37" flat screen TV in my room, and they had lots of channels. It was a quiet Inn and the property was very well kept. The room was clean and the customer service was exceptional.
