Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again. Clean property, very comfy beds, plenty of hot water, and great towels. We did not get a chance to use the pool or hot tub, which both looked well maintained and clean. Breakfast is included and was well stocked with many options. Staff was helpful and the valet-only parking was quick and easy. The hotel is central to downtown, UCSC campus, beach. The people staying next door were loud until after midnight on a Friday but it was very quiet Saturday night."
