Top Seabright Beach Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had the family room, which is such a great, large, unexpected room to have in a hotel, near the beach. I highly recommend it for groups that don't mind sharing the sleeping space like a sleepover. Conveniently located, cool, quaint property."

Torch Lite Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable beds. Mexican restaurant around the corner walking distance. Walking distance to the boardwalk. Perfectly placed. All hotels in Santa Cruz are a little used and beachy. Perfectly safe. I will probably stay here next year when we come."

Hotel Solares

10/10 Excellent

"Visited with a small group. Room was spacious. 2 blocks from the Santa Cruz boardwalk. Elevator was hot and tight - Stairs were easily accessible. Only complaint - They forgot to refill Toilet Paper. Other than that this room was great."

Seaside Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"To. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Bath towels weren’t great. Complimentary coffees were nice. Air conditioner worked great. Very quiet. Close to restaurants & shopping."

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Good overnight only. The rooms could have better pillows and king size. The pillows were flat standard and 4 per king bed not enough. "

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We booked our stay through Expedia, expecting a room with a balcony and an ocean view. Unfortunately, our dining experience at the High Tide restaurant was disappointing. From the hostess who seated us to the uncomfortable low seating at our table, everything felt subpar. The food had no flavor at all, especially when compared to their sister property, Bernardus, in Carmel Valley—there’s simply no comparison. On a positive note, the pool and staff at the hotel were excellent and very accommodating. However, while the room was decent, it did not justify the additional price we were charged for our two-night stay."

Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"The room was clean yet needs more TP. I was not able to try pool or hot tub this visit."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent time by the pool on a saturday. The burgers were out of this world. Staff was very friendly and helpful."
