Top Lincoln Beach Hotel Reviews

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"We stayed here after a day at the Santa Cruz Beach and Boardwalk. Check-in was quick and painless. The motel was full and there was still adequate parking. The A/C worked well enough. There are several food options and a convenience store within an easy walk. The Beach Hut Deli on the corner makes a mighty fine sandwich, and you can even have a beer while you wait. The only ding on this motel is that the bathroom was a bit tired. The sink was down to steel in a couple of spots and please repair the stripped spline in the shower temperature control."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great, and the room was good."

Carousel Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"No windows Need a window."

Bella Notte

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was truly one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Everything was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable. You can tell they pay attention to every detail. It felt calm, welcoming"

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient place"

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Seamless check in, and really good amenities for the price. Didn’t even get a chance to use the putting green"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Unfortunately, when we first checked in, we found bedbugs in the bed while doing our usual bed check. We immediately notified the front desk and showed them photos. The staff was very concerned, took the situation seriously, and quickly moved us to a different room far away from the original one. Our new room was very clean, and we had no further issues during our stay. The hotel was extremely accommodating and waived our parking fees and provided us with breakfast, which we really appreciated. Despite the rough start, everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind and helpful. We also had great service at the hotel bar and restaurant. The hot tub was unfortunately out of service and being repaired during our stay, so we weren’t able to use it. However, the pool was amazing and heated, which we really enjoyed! Finding bedbugs was obviously concerning, but I really appreciated how seriously and professionally the staff handled the situation. Their customer service made a big difference in our overall experience."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"I always stay here when in Santa Cruz. Excellent customer service. Perfectly located and the property is always spotless."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our stay. Great and friendly staff. Valet was super welcoming and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The treadmills weren’t working. We didn’t eat breakfast at the hotel. The location was in close proximity to the beach and downtown which was perfect. Overall it was amazing and would definitely book again."
