I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean and had a great view with a lovely balcony. The location was perfect, right by the beach and close to the boardwalk with amazing views. The staff was friendly and helpful, making my experience even better. However, the dining options could use some improvement as there were limited breakfast choices. Overall, a fantastic stay with great value for money.

A charming hotel with lovely views and a convenient location across from the pier. The suite with a small kitchen and balcony was delightful, but the lack of daily room servicing was a downside. Service was excellent, despite late-night activities by staff. The snacks were mainly sweets, and some protein options would have been appreciated. The hotel offers a pleasant experience overall but lacks some necessary amenities for the price.

I stayed in a suite with a small kitchen and a balcony, which was perfect for my stay. The standard size refrigerator was very convenient. The only drawback was that my room faced the parking lot instead of a more scenic view.

The in-lobby dining options mainly consisted of cookies and cakes, with limited protein choices like yogurt. It would have been nice to see a more balanced selection for a complete dining experience.

The hotel offers basic facilities without any standout amenities. While the property is clean and comfortable, it lacks some essential services that could enhance the overall guest experience.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quaint and clean rooms that even had a kitchen included. Being told the room was beachfront was a wonderful touch, and the sunroom facing the beach was a perfect spot to people watch and enjoy the ocean view. However, I did find it odd to work until 2:00 in the morning and not have anyone with a service mindset to assist, although the staff was generally pleasant and helpful. The location was amazing, with the ocean just up the hill in a great spot, offering a range of nearby attractions. While the dining options weren't impressive, the high-quality dishes made it worthwhile. The hotel facilities were decent overall, with some room for improvement.

Although it was odd to be working until 2:00 in the morning without much service assistance, the staff, in general, were pleasant and helpful. It would have been more convenient to know about the USB ports on the bedside tables.

The location was wonderful, by the ocean and up the hill in a great spot, offering a range of nearby attractions. However, it may appear less inviting under different management.

While the dining option wasn't anything special, visiting Santa Cruz Diner for breakfast would have been a nice addition. It lacked quality dishes, but the convenience of nearby places made up for it.
