Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"The best thing about this property is its prime location right on the beachfront. The views are wonderful. You can walk along the cliffs or down onto the wharf and enjoy all that Santa Cruz has to offer as a beach town. They have updated the property so it has a retro modern feeling, which is done well and cute."
