We stayed here for a quick getaway. The check in staff were extremely helpful and helped get us rooms close to friends we traveled with. The rooms had been renovated recently and the bed was very comfortable and the room was large and clean. The patio was unfenced and consisted of a slab, two chairs and a table. We did... more

We booked The Chaminade for a quick weekend get-away. While the property is in a lovely location, we will think twice before returning. We found the complaints about service that we had read about in other reviews, to be present in our visit as well. The rooms have been renovated, but are very dark with little attention to detail. The... more

Stayed at the Chaminade one night on a two night stay in Santa Cruz. The hotel rooms look like they just had a renovation, but the room still had an outdated feel to it. Not everything was renovated and you can tell in the rooms, they were also very dark, but I dont know if it was just the room... more

We have stayed at Chaminade many times over the years (at least 10 times)) and it is ALWAYS a pleasure!! It is a full service resort and VERY child friendly! We always bring our three children and they have a ball! The pool is wonderful and there is a sand Volleyball court...Excellent restaurant and the spa is fantastic! One year... more

Service from front desk staff start to almost finish was awful. Tried to check in a little early...made us wait 1 1/2 hours more than then originally quoted - no apologies. They'll mention to you about maybe wanting a 2nd floor room - this is because they know full well of the poor construction and that the walls are paper... more

Went to a wedding held at this resort on Memorial Day Weekend. We had booked a block of rooms at another hotel but moved here for the second half of the stay due to problems at our original base hotel. We were able to get in on a great special where others we knew who were staying here had paid... more

Stayed at the Chaminade while visiting UC Santa Cruz with my husband and college-bound son. Our room had 2 queen beds, desk, chair, tv, closet, wardrobe, refrigerator, bathroom sink, and additional raised sink across from the mini-bar area. Beds were supercomfortable, and the decorative throw was also a nice warm addition in the cool evenings. We arrived 8:00 in the... more

I spent two nights here for a company conference, and overall was very impressed with the place. The location is in the Santa Cruz mountains, and while not really near the beach, feels secluded and is surrounded by plenty of hiking trails. The hotel rooms are spread out in numerous buildings across the property. The buildings look older, but the... more

I left some items behind at the hotel. When I called a few hours after I left,they told me not to worry, that they are sure they will be recovered. I was very disappointed with the management when I finally realized after weeks that nothing would be returned. Nothing was of large value in price. When I did call again... more
