Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed here with my adult son in a room with two queen beds. It was great to have valet parking taken care of for 23 dollars a day. When looking at places to stay, parking was a big issue and this hotel just takes care of it for you. The location was so central that we did not need to take the car out until we were leaving. The room was really nice and clean and had a couch seating area. All the staff were friendly and attentive. They all need raises. The complementary breakfast had lots of variety. They have a bar that serves bar food until I think 10-11pm. We didn’t use the pool or gym, but they seemed to be nice. I will be returning to Santa Cruz for genealogical research and hope to be able to stay here."
