Top Lighthouse Field State Beach Hotel Reviews

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I was on a trip to Santa Cruz for couple of nights. Booked this Inn for the proximity of the beach and the parking. It seriously takes 2 minutes to go to the beach/Wharf, and walking distance there are a ton of great restaurants, gift shops, coffee, ice cream, everything. Boardwalk is 2 minutes walk as well. It’s a room with shower and bed so that’s all I needed. I am giving it 5 stars because of the location and price. Don’t expect anything too fancy, there’s a fridge but not coffee maker or hangers. I didn’t care anyway, it felt safe and nothing can beat that location for the price!"

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"☆☆☆☆☆ This is your choice for a great hotel in santa cruz. It's a simple breakfast, the hotel itself is an island paradise, the rooms are comfortable clean and cared for! Very friendly and professional at the desk and the property staff were sweet and a tad on the shy side. The spa (6) area is small and quiet. A really nice hidden gem. Lots of restaurants, 711, gas, parish pub, a safeway shopping center, and they are all within short walking distance. If you had straight to the ocean , go two blocks north, you'll hit the west cliff drive tide pools. 5 minutes to natural bridges north, 7 minutes to santa cruz beach boardwalk south. Ps costco less than 10 minutes away. High five and chakas. Very satisfied."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This location was great and the staff was excellent and the rooms are very clean. Also they are pet friendly and have bags for pet and are for Fido to go. However There were some rude guest who are irresponsible dog owners and so pick up after fido. However I definitely stay here again and I would recommend it 5 stars great place."
