Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

size of the room was awesome, great breakfast, great location, great bathroom size.

i was hoping not be under anyone upstairs,I am sensitive to stompers but we got them, early morning, you can hear them running back and forth, so not the best sound insulation.. i wish the gum was better, it is tiny, no spin bike.. which i love and so happy when hotels get the peloton bike....

Staff are great and , very friendly , room spacious and clean ,location

Breakfast had good variety of hot and cold selections. Hotel had good lunch and light menu available. Parking was valet only, or park on street.

Room was spacious and comfortable. I had plenty of space to spread out my suitcase etc.Having a sofa was nice. The bathroom was modern, clean and in a good state of repair. Importantly there were enough HOOKS in the bathroom to hang stuff: hooks are important! There were plug sockets by the bed too - welcome in this day and age of portable devices. The hotel overall felt modern and the decor was pretty cool and related to the hotel's locality. It was easy to get to by car from the highway from San Jose and it's only a short walk into downtown Santa Cruz (along a dark sidewalk).

1. Valet parking - a bit of a pain having to wait for your vehicle and then having to queue to leave while families slowly pack their vehicle ahead of you. Felt like I couldn't just quickly "nip-out" as getting the car was such an event. 2. I would have liked more options at the breakfast buffet - limited savoury selection. It was typical of most American hotels: some wobbly scrambled eggs and either some sorry excuses for sausages or weak streaky bacon then a load of sweet stuff. The breakfast potatoes were nice. 3. Quite a bit of noise from local area/pool area leaked through my window to my room.
