Top Elena Baskin Visual Arts Center Hotel Reviews

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

National 9 Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, smells very fresh and very nice staff. This is my second Hotel. First one was a nightmare so had to relocated to this one. I used on my trip from the UK and will definitely use this Hotel on my next trip.."

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"The Hyatt was beautiful and clean and the staff were helpful. It was my mistake to not have checked the location of our second floor suite. Unfortunately our room was above the kitchen, and facing the street where the valet parking took place well into the evening. Lots of music from cars and the noise of car doors shutting. The staff did supply ear plugs so I slept fine after that. Loved the heated salt water pool and hot tub. Lovely guests and amenities. Breakfast was 5 star. Very nice and would stay again"
