Top Lighthouse Point Park Hotel Reviews

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"Right across from boardwalk, but they were actively painting doorways on the floor we where staying so the smell of paint was coming through the door!"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"We had a beautiful large room, with sunroom. We felt like we were in a bit of a fishbowl, but we chose that room, since we needed the three beds. There was a fantastic view of the beach and the volleyball courts from our room, so no one noticed us. The walkable wharf to the right provided a nice variety of restaurants, although very pricey. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. There was not much ventilation in the room, I would have appreciated more, as there was a bit of a stale smell. I would suggest you take your own pillow, as the ones they provide are small and lumpy. Those are just small nit picky things, that can be overlooked, as we had a delightful stay and wished we could have stayed longer."

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a bit over cast but it was good and clean beds was comfy"

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"It was a true suite. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the rooms in this friendliness of the staff."

Hotel Solares

8/10 Good

"Room is clean"

Seaway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Room was great. I wish they would clean up the lobby. They use it as a storage space. Extra chairs, refrigerators, lamp shades, and the tv is never on. Can’t sit there and relax. Three days I went there in morning there was no coffee made or hot water for tea. Looks like counter space for snacks but it is cluttered. I love this little hotel but the lobby space has never been finished. 😞"

Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here every time I go to Santa Cruz. It's close to the boardwalk and it's very well maintained"
