The lodge looks average outside; however the rooms were clean and spacious! The only thing I'd change is to make the pool a bit warmer.

Good place

We enjoyed our stay here! It’s in a prime location so honestly couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s a straight shot to the beach and parking was convenient right on the property. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was a great stay for one night on our mini vacation to Santa Cruz.

Okay… but not the best cleaning prior.

It was not very clean … hair on the floor in the bathroom and sand or something on the carpet. Overall okay but questionable if they clean thoroughly :/

Great family place

Everything was perfect from checking to checkout. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient The room was clean, roomy and comfortable. The pool and hot tubs were clean and perfect to end the day. The only thing that would have made this better would be pastries and juice in the lobby in the morning

Love that it was pet friendly and close to the wharf! Walking distance to everything so you don’t have to pay for parking at the wharf. Only thing was that the room was pretty outdated and there was some hair in the shower before we used it.
