Top Mystery Spot Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Improvement can be done to the shower head but everything else was great"

Seaside Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"It was a bit over cast but it was good and clean beds was comfy"

Four Points by Sheraton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the room"

Comfort Inn Santa Cruz North

10/10 Excellent

"The location worked well for the activities that I planned. The breakfast was suitable for my needs. The staff very helpful. The room was spacious. The hotel is has two stories and no elevator. Fortunately they sent a message to make me aware of this and I got a needed first floor room."

Hitching Post Studios Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Pricy but considering this was one night in September it was a good deal. Big room with good size bath."

5-Acre Mountain Retreat In Serene Santa Cruz Mountains Rental Permit #231090

10/10 Excellent

"It was a beautiful home! I just wished we have more than one night to appreciate it more."

Soquel Villa - 180 views of Monterey Bay w/ infinity pool, spa & movie theater

10/10 Excellent

"The property is literally just as beautiful as the pictures. They are adding on another covered patio party structure that will be so cool when complete. Also, the communication is just as good as described in all the other posts. The whole thing was a breeze. It wasn’t super hot weather so we opted to heat the pool during the day and then some of the group went in the spa in the evening while the rest of us sat by the fire. So relaxing! The only thing I will add for future renters- there is no ice maker in the fridge. There is a smaller one in the bar fridge but if you have a big group and need more ice, plan to get some bags to keep in the freezer. Also, there are a LOT of stairs. Both between the first floor, second floor and drop in living area and kitchen, and then again through various levels outside. This isn’t so bad except we brought our 89 year old parents and they had a little trouble. Just a heads up for older guests or someone that needs assistance. Overall the place was such a treat and we had a really great time. Thanks Matt!"

Light-Filled Redwood Cottage with Clawfoot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"This place was incredbile - we wanted to move in! Light filled and spacious with a HUGE tub and a super comfy bed. The hosts thought of everything. There was a towel warmer, extra blankets and they even put bottles of shampoo, conditioner, ect out and provided any kind of cutlery we could ask for. We felt like we were staying in a little peaceful oasis. The hosts were gret to communicate with and the spot was SUPER peaceful - little rabbits all over the place. HIGHLY reccommend!"
