Top Seymour Marine Discovery Center at Long Marine Laboratory Hotel Reviews

Casablanca On The Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Immaculate surroundings, loved the various patios on diff levels with grand ocean views. Upgraded very clean rooms, lovely surroundings!"

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"i liked how clean the whole property and rooms were"

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"10 min walk to the boardwalk or to the downtown area. Clean rooms friendly staff"

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is highly recommended."

Riverside Inn & Suites Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and check in was easy. The motel is cute and our room was clean, comfortable and spacious enough for two. The bathroom was also clean and spacious. Definitely walkable to the boardwalk. Parking was a little tight but had plenty of spaces. Would recommend and would stay here again."

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was probably my least favorite. The eggs were cold and of course they didn’t have any flavor and I thought that they had hot oatmeal cereal, but on closer examination, it wasn’t that I think it was potatoes or something. Not appetizing at all. But I grabbed an orange, an apple and some yogurt and a stick of cheese and that was fine. Whatever"

Seaway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, clean perfect stay"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my family decided to have a last minute beach visit we had no idea we were going to want to stay the night and once we figured we would I called everywhere (it was 7pm) and only this hotel answered there was always someone to help at the desk and it was fast and easy to book and it was a great price and me and my family would definitely recommend my only complaint would be you can hear the trash people early in the morning but everything else was just what we wanted"

Ocean Pacific Lodge

8/10 Good

"Pretty convenient location and a decent price compared with the astronomical price of many other options. Adequate parking and walkable distance to the downtown and plenty of dining options. I would stay again but would make sure my room was not immediately adjacent to the ice machine ( foot traffic of people getting ice) and the pool ( kids birthday parties etc not great if you’re trying to rest). Air conditioning was a bit loud tbh at least in my room - but on the plus side their wasn’t any drama at night or noise and I think they keep a close eye on the place- it’s a motor court arrangement with rooms facing out so could be vulnerable to randoms wandering through but there was no problem."
