Sonia, United States of America

Cool beach theme. Classy not trashy. Beautiful and clean. Staff was extra friendly. The most amazing part is the PILLOWS!!!

Great location and gorgeous rooms. Cant wait to return.

Rhonda, United States of America

The room is nicely decorated in pastel tones, the bed is comfy. The view on the ocean from the room is amazing. There is a direct access to the beach from the pool deck. There is a pool and a jacuzzi.

Anne-france, Belgium

The location of this property was great as it is set right on the sea front and all rooms over look the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful and the pool and hot tub were great place to relax.

Korgi, United Kingdom

great place for family or get away for couples, we have been coming here for the last 25 years and seen lots of changes over the years it's only getting better. Nice and quite! We brought our son and family from Florida and they had a great time.

Beach, United States of America

The location of this property is very close to the Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk, so it's within walking distance. The property itself is nicely remodeled, the beds are comfortable, the pool area is great, the hot tub was big.

Julianna, United States of America

The hotel was extremely clean and the location was exceptional. The staff were extremely kind and responsive. Drinks at the pool were fantastic.

눉bath amenities, knowledge of public transport, lack of English speaking housekeeping staff. This is pricey for mid season.
눇When you say bathtub' It's veyr pleasant, comfortable and a bit pricey although the location is superb and taht's waht youpay for in part. The whole atmosphere is retro-not my style- but it's nots overbearing or in-you-face. Some of the housekeeping staff do noy speak English so bring your thespian expertiese also to explain you need more kleenext. Boggest disappointment were toiletries the bathroom lacked.No body bath oil or shower liquid sopa.No little packs of shaving lotion although one worker readily found it when the others siad it did not exixt.Important because the airport police take away full cans of shaving foam. Wv was easy to understand after an initial investment of 20 minutes on how it works. For front desk: These people have no idea about public tansportation services other than taxis.The neighbourhood is teeming with buses but they don't know. They have no ideabout where is a PO or where to get postahe stamps. Bit they are very friendly and gongenial.

눉Our floor (5th floor) was extremely loud. We heard doors slamming, footsteps from up above & foot traffic from outside our room throughout the night. We’ve stayed at this hotel several times before and usually stay in the upper cloud levels and I dont recall hearing much outside noise at all.
눇Proximity to beach, Wharf, and Boardwalk.
