Top Seymour Marine Discovery Center at Long Marine Laboratory Hotel Reviews

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"It was good for the $$$. Location was good, breakfast was what's to be expected at that price. Check out the donut shop across the street!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"It was clean and quiet!"

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"A fine stay, but we were disappointed to find that the pool was closed"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous property with amazing views. Very relaxing and wonderful amenities. I highly recommend this property."

Surf City Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"A great stay, loved that the 2nd bed had its own room and tv. Bathroom was spacious. The water was hot, the fridge worked. They even have a mini golf there along side a patio where you Can relax. The only downside was you Can tell some guests live there as they were working on their cars and hanging out in groups in the rooms"

Edgewater Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was such a cute place to stay, and steps away from the wharf which was amazing! The only thing I didn't particularly like (but was looking forward to) was the patio which was included in my room BUT it is a shared patio between a few other rooms so I had to keep the blinds closed the entire time as the bed is right there. Other than that, great place. One parking space is provided per room, staff was extremely helpful and friendly as well."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We love The Paradox! It’s our staycation spot. The pool is great, the food is good, and the rooms are amazing and clean. Staff are very helpful, especially Blossom and Jay!! Jay is always so helpful!"

Beachview Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome property right in the heart of it all!"

Casablanca On The Beach

8/10 Good

"This place all around was beautiful, the location is great. My only complaint was that our coffee maker was missing a piece and I let the front office know about it and instead of getting a new piece or new coffee maker they told me oh well nothing they can do about it. They have a coffee bar from 8-10am but we have a baby so our mornings start at 5am so not having a coffee maker in the room sucked."
