Top Mark Abbot Memorial Lighthouse Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay here. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, everything was great and we really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay here again!"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I love the place and the rooms are just perfect right in front of the water, the beach and the pool in one place… awesome..! Love it.!!"

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Very good and well-run lodging. Very clean and well maintained. Downstairs room was dark and not well lighted. Shower water volume was less than ideal--water saving to excess? Upstairs breakfast room (no elevator, not accessible) is bright and cheerful. Breakfast somewhat better than average--waffle machines, fresh apples, bananas, and oranges, cold peeled hard-boiled eggs, but too much bread and not enough protein. And weekdays breakfast ends at 9 a.m., too early for vacationers but just fine for business travelers."

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"I Truly love it here. This place has help me get My R and R just how I need to. I love how it Is single level and your vehicle is close to you. They have an Ice machine and they accept Service Animals. The water is hot and the Cable works and is decent. It's very close to food places and the Beach is just rite there is works"

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location and closeness to the boardwalk and beach. The breakfast area is a bit too small to accommodate the guests, we had to move around people a lot to get to the items we wanted to eat and drink."

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front dest was warm and helpful"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great location, ten minute walk to wharf and beach boardwalk. Competitively priced, very basic but comfortable hotel rooms. Nice pool with two jacuzzi hot tubs, lounge chairs, tables with umbrellas. Self parking on site, breakfast cafe and deli across the street, with taco bar a block away. We enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood and found everything we needed close by."
