The Aqua Pacific Hotel
We’d booked at a similar hotel but messed up so ended up at this hotel. It’s very unique, didn’t charge for our chihuahua. Nice staff provided brand new remote. Huge TV. Didn’t hear other guests at all. Chill place!

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
The staff was wonderful, especially Raichel. I loved the copious, varied breakfast with many healthy options. The only thing I would suggest to improve is how you wash the towels or what detergent you use. The towels smell very strongly of cleaning agents.
