Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

"Great location with valet parking 24/7. A nice walk to the beach, shops and a music venue nearby. Friendly staff to greet you and comfy cozy clean rooms. Stayed on the third floor and enjoyed my stay. Gym, pool and hot tub available as well as a hot breakfast early mornings. The lobby has lots of seatings to relax, read or work. Bag hold came in handy as I didn’t want to leave luggage in my car. Will be back- thanks !!"

"This Hyatt is within walking distance to the boardwalk. It is clean and comfortable. Your vehicles are valay parked. It is extra, by the way. But all in all a very nice place to visit"

"We opted for a less expensive hotel since we knew we’d be spending so much time off site, but I wouldn’t book here again. We had to request a room change because the AC was so loud. The AC was still loud, but since the climate was so moderate, we didn’t need to use it much. The best thing about the hotel is definitely the staff. They were all friendly and attentive. We didn’t use the outdoor pool or hot tub, but all the screaming kids did! The walls are pretty thin, so we could hear people walking around. Fortunately, the door slamming issue in another review wasn’t an issue during our stay. The room is spacious and the bed was comfortable (not amazing, but adequate). The sheets were scratchy and the pillows were pretty bad (lumpy and thin). The TV situation is out-dated. Direct TV is terrible when it comes to programming choices. Infomercials or religious shows with a few other channel choices. A lot of reviewers rave about the breakfast, but it wasn’t all that impressive. I think it’s well suited for families with kids. Overall, this is a budget friendly option if you have kids, but not a great spot for a relaxing trip with your sweetie. Next time, we’ll spend to get more elsewhere."

"Enjoyed our time at this hotel during a rainy weekend (read: we spent more time in the hotel than anticipated). Welcoming front desk staff. Friendly and helpful valet - always willing to offer up a suggestion on nearby restaurants. Water pressure in the shower was incredible. Room size was nice and the in-room amenities were very convenient. Breakfast buffet has a lot to offer for various tastes and preferences. The power went out when we were about to check out; very happy that a backup generator was going in the public areas."

"We had a blast. The hotel is clean, pool is heated during the Winter and is OPEN! You do have to pay a parking/valet fee if you are getting there by car, but most hotels charge some kind of fee these days! Better than the usual "free breakfast"! Nice gym that is open 24/7"
