Super clean room. Respectful and friendly staff. Great breakfast, best we ever had at a hotel. The valet parking staff are the very best. Everyday they asked about our day, our stay, our family. They are super friendly and always available

Great place to stay and for the price, beats most of the same caliber. This is our go to when we are in Santa Cruz
Stay was pleasant for the most part. However, the only thing which made me mad was that breakfast was not fresh at all. I expected more out of Hyatt and thought it was above a motel quality food
My girlfriend and I came to stay here for our anniversary and we were so surprised with how clean the lobby, breakfast area, and our room was. The front desk workers were super kind and helpful, and the valet workers were super kind and knowledgeable.
Valet & check in staff we're fabulous! Furniture in the room a bit worn. Breakfast okay.
Room AC motor very noisy.

Very disappointed with the check-in. We got there a little bit early for our check-in and of course we were told our room was not going to be ready until 3 PM. They were supposed to call us and let us know. We called at 3 o’clock and they said the room was not cleaned yet, to wait another half an hour. We contact the office again, but it was not ready yet. We never got a phone call. We ended up doing our activities around the area and at 11 PM our room was given. Nobody knew what happened, The food is not good at all, we got stomachache from it. Front desk is not friendly at all.
When me and my girlfriend stayed the night in the hotel room we woke up to having red spots on ours body's and we didn’t think nothing of it till a few days later when the the red dots grew into bigger pimples the doctors said they were bedbugs bites. Please do better in cleaning
