Top Seabright Beach Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"I liked how big the room was, I did not like you have to pay for parking."

Hotel Solares

10/10 Excellent

"Property was nice, clean, prefect for our one night stay exactly all we needed, the balcony was very cute touch to rooms. The secruity hold of 250$ was a bit much."

The Aqua Pacific Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was really good here I have nothing bad to state. It was a clean room oh and we loved the towels they were reallly big so that is a plus. Lol"

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great place, except $25 to park at a hotel you're staying at is a little ridiculous. And the bed could have been more comfortable.."

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Initially thought the hotel was too noisy, but then realized the windows were open. Ha! Packages of earplugs were placed on the nightstands which was a nice touch. Hotel is located on a well traveled intersection, so getting in & out of the parking lot was annoying. Overall, it’s another older Santa Cruz hotel in walking distance to the boardwalk and beach. It served our purpose for our quick weekend trip."

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The room we had facing the beach was amazing. Fantastic views and great location. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer, and would definately stay there again."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and welcoming. Loved the pool and the beds were really comfortable."

Carousel Beach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, spacious. Bed was the best one of our trip thus far. Right across the street from the boardwalk. Breakfast was pretty good, wish they had more protein options however. Staff was friendly and helpful."

Harbor House A, overlooking Santa Cruz Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"I had a perfect 11 night stay in this unit while in Santa Cruz for work. It was a perfect fit for me, a minute walk to the beach, restaurants in walking distance, and I did enjoy the sounds of the sea lions in the background.The hosts were very easy to communicate with. I needed additional towels and they were dropped off the next day. My girlfriend came out for one of the weekends and it was plenty of room for us, especially since we were out most of the time exploring the area."
