Santa Cruz Mark Abbot Memorial Lighthouse Hotels

"My friends and I stayed in a 2 queen bed room and it was very spacious. The motel is quiet. Bed was comfortable, but the base was made of metal and could be squeaky when you got on or off the bed. The hair dryer didn't work well so bring your own. There is no pool which was fine because it was cold and rainy. The price was very reasonable. I slept well for 3 nights there. Not a fancy place but nice and comfortable."

"The women had facials and thoroughly enjoyed it. "

"Right across the street from the boardwalk/beach. Parking was great. Don't gotta worry about your vehicle being broken into. Staff were nice as hell, no problems there at all. Room itself, no complaints. It was clean, it was neat and the bed was comfortable. Building was clean no trash outside. Will be staying again in the future "

"Great place"

"We had great stay. The room layout worked out perfectly for our family! This place was clean and had great proximity to the wharf & boardwalk. "

"Rooms are mediocre. Staff is kind of dry."

"This place was magic. It was beautiful, clean and perfect location. Staff was helpful and amenities are amazing. I would stay here again 1000%."

"Upon arrival, the service started off well. The gentleman at the front desk informed me that if I became a member, I would be able to check in early and receive free parking. Based on that, I decided to sign up. I was given a parking pass and we dropped our belongings off in the room before heading out to the board walk. First impression of room wasn’t delightful but we were in a rush. When we returned later that evening, I was able to examine it more closely—and that’s when things changed. The room did not feel clean at all. There were what appeared to be ketchup or possibly blood stains on the wall, along with noticeable dirt marks. Even worse, we found a gummy bear in the bed, which made it clear that the sheets had not been properly changed. That completely turned me off. I felt uncomfortable the entire night and barely got any sleep. Bracelet in chair. I brought my concerns to the front desk. Initially, I was offered free parking, which I already had, along with a $40 breakfast credit since I had become a member. Eventually, they refunded half of my stay, which I appreciated. However, I later realized that I was still charged for parking—despite being told it would be free. The hotel’s entrance and overall appearance are nice, but the cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. It honestly feels like the cleaning service needs to be reevaluated. There needs to be more pride taken in maintaining the rooms. At this point, I don’t feel like going through the hassle of cal"

"It was close to the boardwalk, best part about the room. "
