Top Seymour Marine Discovery Center at Long Marine Laboratory Hotel Reviews

Beachview Inn

8/10 Good

"This is one of my favorite places to stay at Santa Cruz very clean and quiet in the front desk gal is very kind and friendly"

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"I will be back because the room was cleaner than others in town...there were many garbage bags full of trash all over the property at 4 and 10 pm...so no one was planning to pick them up? The front desk guy had the worlds worst b.o. and had a gross room freshener in the lobby to cover his scent but it wasn't working. Luckily the room wasn't stinky at all. There was a hair on the toilet seat and stains on the shower wall from someone dying their hair? Overall, its doable for the price and with no carpeting or scent in the sheets, its good enough for us!"

Lighthouse Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house awesome location! I know that Santa Cruz isn't usually hot this time of year, but it was in the mid to high 80s and the AC was either broken or didn't work very well at all. Just take into consideration if you are staying during the super hot months! Other than that, it was a fabulous stay!"
