Dream Inn

Dream Inn Santa Cruz boasts a dreamy beachfront location, with views of Monterey Bay at seemingly every turn. Watch surfers make it look easy from your balcony, or wear a wetsuit and join the fun. Steps from the Santa Cruz Wharf, and a short, easy walk from the lively Boardwalk, the hotel’s location is tough to beat.
