Top Midtown Hotel Reviews

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were extremely helpful and pleasant."

Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a very solid place to stay. Comfy beds, clean rooms and clearly they made a real effort to make the best of their hotel. Even though the hotel is on a busy street that doesn’t appear to be in a tight knit neighborhood, it’s actually really close to a lot of cool hip restaurants and central to many destinations. The hot tub is cute but needs some love. The air conditioning unit, which I could manually turn on and off, would cool the room in cycles which didn’t really work well given the comforter was so hot. For two nights the covers were either too hot (when the air conditioner was not active), and just warm enough which I found was disruptive for sleep. Other than someone’s dog barking too early in the morning, rooms were quiet."

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

8/10 Good

"The staff was friendly and helpful with all our enquiries, and the facilities worked for our two day stay in Scotts Valley. The breakfast however was somewhat over marketed and whilst the breakfast service was great, the choice of food and quality was average. It did look like they may have had some maintenance going on, so worth checking status before going"

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"One of the nicer hotels to stay in Santa Cruz. Loved the vibe, decor, and how kid/dog friendly this property is. The rooms are a little bit worn and outdated and there were some updates that probably need to be made to the hotel itself. The pool and amenities were nice. VERY expensive parking, food, and drinks - although the room booking itself was reasonable. No outside food or drinks are allowed, so just note that you'll be spending a lot hanging out at the hotel."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"The valet parking was chaotic. Breakfast was a crazy mad house, we ended up not having breakfast there. We tired two different times and it was just nuts . The location was good, 10 minute walk to the boardwalk. 12-16 minute walk to downtown area. Rooms was clean and tidy. No one’s was rooms were ready when we arrived at 5. They also forgot to give us bath towels for showering. Staff was friendly"
