Bay Front Inn Santa Cruz
8/10 Good
"Me gustó lo cerca que está de el boardwalk y la playa."
Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"We had a great Labor Day Weekend staying at Hyatt Place, Santa Cruz! Staff was great. Helped us stash bags before check-in was available. The guys valet my car early as well, so we could take off for fun stuff. Room was flip'n Great too. Nice view, including Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Hotel's pool and hot tub as well. Perfect bed and living room sofa was really nice. We had a great full breakfast with lots of choices. Totally stuffed our faces, haaaa. We wanted just one more swim & tub, so asked for a later check out time. Desk said no problem. Hotels.com got us there and Hyatt Place has locked us in for next Santa Cruz or Capitola stay. We love the beach and Hyatt Place ! Thank You Sniders"
