I stayed here with my family. The front desk was attentive, listened politely and was speedy in rectifiying some errors, for example the crib we pre-ordered was not yet in the room. The family suites have one minibar fridge and one empty fridge, which was a huge help as any family with young children knows. My 5 year old loved... more

I was booked into the Dream Inn as part of a business event I was attending so I didn't know what to expect and thought the name might be an overstatement--it wasn't. The place was so unexpectedly comfortable, clean and cozy with a fantastic view of the beach and pier. Comfortable beds, nice balcony. The staff was professional and accommodating... more

We stayed at the Dream Inn on the last night of a 4 week road trip and it was a great way to finish. After starting our trip at another JDV hotel in San Francisco we had high expectations for this one due to the jump in class. We weren't disappointed. The rooms all overlook Cowell's beach and the pier... more

The service provided by the Dream Inn Staff started before we even arrived. We booked our room and indicated in the comment section of the on-line reservation page that this trip was a surprise for our childs birthday. We received an inquiry back from Aretha asking more specifics and if there was anything else she could assist us with regarding... more

From the moment we stepped into our room, the Dream Suite, we were in love with this hotel. The room was minimilist yet comfy and the view over the water was picture-perfect. Adding to the perfection was the full moon rising over the pier during our stay. The restuarant, Aquaris, is easily the best in town. The food, the ambiance... more

This hotel is nice. The rooms are roomy, modern with balconies looking out onto the ocean. We stayed here before heading home and it was so relaxing. From the huge comfortable bed, great TV with on demand films, huge bathroom with power shower and a great coffee machine. The mini bar was reasonable too. You listen to the sound of... more

We were welcomed by very friendly staff at the valet parking and check-in; the view from the room is really breathtaking, since the hotel is located right above the beach. The sunrise is also very spectacular to watch from the balcony; the modern room is very comfortable. We felt a bit less comfortable with the crowd of (homeless?) people next... more
