Top Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

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!"

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Extreeeemely comfy king size bed, bedding and pillows. Quiet at nite (pool facing room fairly loud w happy children during the day). Nice variety at breakfast of eggs, delicious oatmeal, and yogurt for our vegetarian diet. Really long, dark hallways to rooms were slightly off-putting. Upwards of $20 per day fee (plus tips) for valet parking was a drag, but I guess that’s convenience."
