Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good
"Room is clean, however, discovered trash still inside from previous tenant. Hotel is nice and centrally located 15 min walk from Santa Cruz boardwalk. Staff super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent. Had noise issues with stomping all day and night but overall a good stay. Thin walls."

10/10 Excellent
"The staff was friendly and helpful, and even pointed out where we could get filtered water near the day spa. While the hotel does not have direct views of the beach, upon request they changed our room to one with a beach boardwalk "peek" view. The room was impeccably clean. The only downside was the room did smell like chemical cleaning agents when we arrived, but we opened the windows and let it air out while we were out to dinner, and it was just fine upon our return. Thank you Andrea and the rest of the staff!"
