EXCELLENT VALUE
We won’t interrupt your stay with added fees and unnecessary expenses. We provide an excellent value with complimentary Wi-Fi, beach cruisers, in-room coffee and tea and Sunday morning yoga (May – October).
LOCAL SUSTAINABLE FOOD & WINE
Our banquet fare is prepared and served just like the cuisine in Jack O’Neill Restaurant & Lounge. Our ingredients come from local California farms, and participate in the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch Program. Our menus feature fresh, organic ingredients, select local and international wine, and can address any dietary restrictions.
LOCATION
In just under an hour drive from Silicon Valley, there’s a coastal world where meetings and events take their cue from the Monterey coastline and redwood mountains. In this unmatched setting, walking distance to everything Santa Cruz has to offer, attendees will enjoy a multitude of activities and local connections.
UNBEATABLE SPACE
Tap into your creative roots and leave feeling inspired with our natural light-filled multi-functional event spaces, complete with panoramic ocean views and dedicated service. Spanning a combined 3,500 square feet, the Dream Inn features three flexible event spaces in one easily accessible location with executive-level views. Taking their names from our seaside setting, the Beach View, Surf View and Sand rooms all share a spacious pre-function space and offer high-speed Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art A/V equipment and personable, professional banquet service.
