"The room is great and the view is amazing! Staff has been great- will definitely stay here again! "
A verified traveller stayed at Dream Inn Santa Cruz
"We weren't really there very long, but our room was great, nice and big; beds were comfy; bathroom nice and updated; little thing that we loved, the bath products were very nice, sometimes you stay at a place and the soap, shampoo, etc is pretty cheap, these ones were not. Loved the decor, very cool looking. On-site restaurant was very good too, we wished it wasn't raining, I bet the view is amazing. Will definitely stay there again next time we are in the area."
