Lighthouse Point Park is a great place to begin your discovery of Westside Santa Cruz. This protected natural landscape comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Set aside time for other sights like Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, University of California, Santa Cruz, and Natural Bridges State Park to really experience what the area has to offer.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (662 reviews)

Lovely, beautiful, convenient. Very thoughtful amenities within the hotel considering that there is no conveniences that are walkable. Pool, fire pit, workout room, lawn area- nearby Stevens Creek Trail and Freeway access- amazing. I happened to arrive on a Friday when the staff was clearly tired from the business travelers all week- 3:45pm is too late to get decent food at the Starbucks style coffee shop and too early to get anything at the bar. Front desk staff had the same lack of energy. But the property is amazing and very convenient.

Only on TV in one bedroom really needs to Tvs, one in each bedroom room. Otherwise, was perfect for what we needed it for our stay in the area.
