Top Lighthouse Point Park Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Pool in pics looks way bigger then the actual and not enough lounge chairs"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Pretty convenient location and a decent price compared with the astronomical price of many other options. Adequate parking and walkable distance to the downtown and plenty of dining options. I would stay again but would make sure my room was not immediately adjacent to the ice machine ( foot traffic of people getting ice) and the pool ( kids birthday parties etc not great if you’re trying to rest). Air conditioning was a bit loud tbh at least in my room - but on the plus side their wasn’t any drama at night or noise and I think they keep a close eye on the place- it’s a motor court arrangement with rooms facing out so could be vulnerable to randoms wandering through but there was no problem."

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff, clean room, affordable. Will come again."

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"So close to everything in Santa Cruz.. especially the beach. Eateries are walkable too. Good view from the room."

Edgewater Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room, great location. Very friendly staff. Only thing I’d mention is that it had a huge deep tub that was challenging to get into and out of as a shorter person but I imagine it would be dangerous for someone older or less abled. We’d definitely go back!"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Pool is amazing ! Staff amazing !! Food excellent Only thing was the ac was just ok so the room felt alittle humid, but we propped the door open for some fresh air and it went away !! Rooms are small but not to small and it’s the perfect location. Everything felt safe and secure"

Lighthouse Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"This is such a great place! Walking distance to the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Enjoy a walk to the ocean where you can watch the surfers catching waves and run along the coast. It felt so good to come "home" to this quiet, peaceful area."
