The location is a 2-minute drive or a few minute walk from downtown Santa Cruz and Pacific Avenue shopping. If you like acai bowls, check out Samba Rocks right around the corner. Overall, great find in a hotel.

Lovely staff and great location. The room was neat and clean. The hotel lobby and bar were really sleek. The outdoor area was also cool-looking with a pin pon table and heaters. I liked it, and I will stay there again.

This hotel has such an interesting aesthetic – it has rustic touches but also with a modern design. I was really into the wood paneling behind the bed, I love the huge tree trunk that serves as the welcome counter, and there are other really cool touches all over the hotel.

The bed was comfortable.

The coffee service in the room was of good quality.

And the pool area… man did I love that!

They’ve decorated it to be very loungy and inviting. You can get food or drinks out by the pool – at night it’s lit up with twinkle lights.
Looking forward to staying here again.

I usually spend many hours on the pool deck and as I see him going about his duties I notice that he interacts positively with each guest and he treats everyone the same. He’s quick with a smile and always has a positive vibe. He goes above and beyond in his service wherever he can.

This guy has really got it going on. For you ladies and gay men, he’s also easy on the eyes, so come to the Dream Inn and be sure to spend some time on their nice newly-renovated pool deck, and say hi to Jeff while you’re there. He’ll be very glad to see you.

Perfect spot to relax, and, hear the ocean. Great food and staff at McNeill restaurant. (part of the Inn).

I highly recommend this spot for views of the wharf, pier, beach and The Boardwalk. I highly recommend this spot for a getaway from the bustle of the SJ Valley.

es this place is expensive – but it is because staying here is a full beachside experience! Every room has an ocean view with a patio!

The pool has direct beach access, a poolside bar, and great features like mimosa hour and a taco stand. Not to mention, the employees really do reinforce the quality experience that you pay for. Definitely worth the extra $$.

This hotel is a delightful gem on the Santa Cruz coast. Fabulous views, uniquely furnished rooms with a 60’s surfer feel to them, great staff and service. We stayed away from the pool, in the tower section and had a very quiet stay.

The hotel is ideally situated for a long walk along Cliff Dr with fantastic views of the bay and ocean or the wharf and boardwalk.

Carousel Beach Inn is located across the street from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and its historic Carousel. We compared it with a few other locations in the area and decided to choose it for location and value. We are happy we made the choice.

The room was very nice. Beds were comfortable, decor was appropriate for the location, sea horse pictures and the balcony was nice to sit on in the evening. Parking was easy inside the complex.

It doesn’t have the beach view but it is the closest hotel to the beach.

The Boardwalk rides are just 1 minute of walking. Nothing can beat this location. The view to the boardwalk roller coasters are fun for kids. The windows and doors are very good on sound proofing. No road noise. Great for family travels.

Great location and worth the price. No turndown service and don’t count on their breakfast to satiate your appetite. Walls are definitely thin but it wasn’t too hard to sleep. Beds were comfortable but definitely could be upgraded with a thicker blanket.

Would definitely recommend if you were traveling with family for the boardwalk.
