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.

7.6/10 Good! (32 reviews)

In regards to the level of customer service, this place is equivalent to the Riz Carlton!! I know its a budget hotel, but they were extremely accommodating as i flew in for the night for my cousins funeral on short notice. It was affordable, exceptionally clean, quiet, close to shops and restaurants, but i cannot stress enough the friendliness of the staff and management. They held my bahgs after my checkout so i could attend my cousins funeral. The manager is incredibly friendly and i cant tell you how much weight a simple smile carries when youve been traveling all day or after attending an emotional service. I will only stay here next time i come to San Jose!!!

I stayed at valley inn for a night. It was very easy to find and it was in a really quiet area which was great. The parking was convenient. The room could use some updating, but it was nice especially for the price.

The water in the bathroom is not strong enough to wash the soap off the body.

Fresh perspective
#lifeatexpedia

Santa Cruz of all its wealth along coastline has more than boardwalk, surfing and wharf.

It has a dog beach point!
On a sunny dawn my sunny glasses gave a fresh perspective when I was looking at Pumba, my family's German Shepherd prancing along beach.
