Property in general is a little dated but good. However, the hair blower in the room doesn’t work. And at breakfast, coffee pot ran out of coffee. When I asked the staff when can the fresh pot could be made, the answer was she didn’t know, because she didn’t know how to make a new pot and was waiting for the manager to come in to do so!

Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.

This was a really lovely stay. Away from the noise of Santa Cruz, we relaxed in the pool, played pickle ball, and enjoyed the onsite bar/restaurant/music. Ideal for adults looking for a quiet few days away where you can park the car and stay put until checkout.
