We were stuck next to a loud ice machine that cycled on and off all night; the hotel was full so they couldn’t move us. Walls had unexplained stains running down them, and the bathroom had about five flies we had to swat.

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was basic. I dont think Pets should be allowed. I dont want to see a pet peeing inside or outside. Pet dander. I have friends allergic to pet hair. They could never stay at Hyatt. Bottom of hot tub needs cleaning a few people were complaining about that. I agree. Should have happy hours (free) Wed-fri. Free chartuerrie or chips & salsa. Should NOT charge for parking."

Dream Inn Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Hotel Solares

8/10 Good

"Check-in is 4pm, on our reservation it stated 3pm and there wasn’t a room available. Otherwise great location, rooms were comfortable and clean."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Staff and breakfast was great! I really was offended by the daily on premises parking fee of $25 per day. It was never clearly posted on any site. I would have paid for a higher reasonable room rate and had the parking as a amenity service like the advertised free morning breakfast."

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is so close to the boardwalk , parking is a reasonable price"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"My biggest question would be why on earth are the towels grey…? They don’t look clean even if they are, but also they don’t look like the color is intentionally chosen… they’re pale grey and look as though they just don’t get washed properly."
