The website listed that pets were welcome but did not state it was only for service animals. It was very disappointing and unexpected and we had to change plans.

The check-in was chaotic. The staff first told us that they cannot find our reservation, and suggested that we either accept a downgrade to a smaller room, or change to another location. After 20 min back and force, they said they found our original reservation and would be able to accommodate us. The reality was, we did get a room, but not the one with a tub like what we reserved.

On Saturday morning there were small kids hanging around the front desk. They were apparently the kids from the person running the front desk. They were running around and popping the graduation balloons and eating ice cream which dropped on the ground seemingly without the front desk person who we think was the mom not aware. Is Marriott now allowing family members to be around the work area and feeding them?

We visited during Memorial Day weekend and the pool and the hot tub were closed. We’ve stayed here before and were surprised to learn when we arrived it was closed during our stay. It was an okay stay, happy with cleanliness, parking, and proximity to beach. However with a young child who loves the pool that was a huge let down. Unsure if we’ll stay here again. Maybe time to check out other places on our bi annual visits to Santa Cruz.

The whole place ŵas clean, well organized, smelled incredibly pure clean without any chemical or scented cover-up. Management was great, reception was great also. Seems like the Star ship of the fleet, displaying the pride of the man that started it all.
