I was overcharged for my stay. I've emailed about it and not received a response. While staying I asked for new bedding and house keeping never got to it even though I was out of the room all day long. I was given 2 flat sheets to sleep with my final night if my stay. The only great thing about this hotel is its location and close proximity to the beach, warf and Boardwalk. Expedia quoted me $450 per night, they charged me $500 per night. I would not recommend staying here. It is not worth it.

I paid for a king suite with a private balcony. I was placed in a room with two queen beds on the ground floor. The view was of a construction site. Not to mention the construction started at 7:45am. The front office was gone by 8:45pm and does not return until 10:30am. I paid $270 for one night. Yes it was by the coast but I am extremely disappointed.

We were checked in my a very helpful young man when we arrived who helped with luggage and went out of his way to be useful. Unfortunately that level of service was not consistent as there is a constant rotation of receptionists/front desk team members. There is really no breakfast despite offering a “continental” service each morning and lunch/dinner options are zero in the hotel. The room, it was very comfortable though not particularly clean. The drains smell terrible and the overall interior could use new paint and replacement box-springs for the beds as ours were filthy. Check in is 4pm and front desk take an afternoon break so if you arrive early you will need to leave all of your belongings in an unattended parking lot and wait for them to reopen. We would stay again however we’d be more picky about which room we took and we’d have brought groceries to be prepared when we wanted a snack or a bowl of cereal without having to leave the property. As far as proximity to SC Beach Boardwalk, you couldn’t ask for a better location and Downtown is only a 15 minute walk away.

We were happy with our stay and would recommend or come again! I liked the proximity to the wharf and Boardwalk, the views are great! The parking lot is safe and I felt secure at our inn. I loved our private balcony and the bed was super comfortable. Andres was a very helpful front desk clerk too! Thanks for our stay, it was nice to be on the coast to experience the Santa Cruz area.

We chose this property because of the views and we ended up in the back,with zero view. Looked way nicer than the place immediately next door but if i booked the other place I could have save $200 and had a view of the beach and a hot tub and pool. Disappointing when your wife wants the ocean view for your 30th wedding anniversary. The continental breakfast is absolutely a joke. I’ve stayed at tons of best westerns that blow away this measly offering… literally just coffee and cookies. If anyone asks me I would not recommend this place especially at over $600 a night.

Book directly with property, seems to be a discrepancy between expedia prices and property prices at checkout. $35 early check in fee. Ocean view is worth it. Some rooms are half renovated, some paint coming off walls and baseboards weren't cut to fit rooms, a bit trashy but nice view/ location. Not worth 300 a night.
