Top Mystery Spot Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz

10/10 Excellent

"From the time we drove up to Valet our stay was top tier. The staff is friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to accommodate our work truck for our stay. We will be staying there for any business trips in the future."

Four Points by Sheraton Santa Cruz Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location a bit far from the boardwalk but it’s not. It’s definitely not walking distance but a good 20 min drive. Theres food and gas and little stores around there’s a Starbucks too. My only gripe is that when we came back from the wedding we went to the parking lot in the front and inside were both full. I ddnt know where to leave the car and it was about 2 am I was exhausted until I found a spot. Other than that great hotel ok location staff is GREAT! The rooms are comfy and big there’s no door on the shower but not too much water comes out of you move the shower head."

Charming 3 Bedroom Home

8/10 Good

"The property was fine but nothing special. Kind of pricey for 3 couples. Spacious living areas but not particularly warm and inviting. The third bathroom is off the kitchen…not near the bedrooms. Therefore 2 of the smaller bedrooms share one small bathroom. Only one hand towel, shower towel and washcloth per/person for 3 nights. No beach towels or extra amenities. The kitchen was ok but no extra spices or cooking oils etc…The back deck/porch was big but the furniture could use sprucing up as the cushions were worn and dirty. On the plus side we were given early entrance which was nice and made our travel to the area easier. The hot tub was clean and hot!"

Light-Filled Redwood Cottage with Clawfoot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"This place was incredbile - we wanted to move in! Light filled and spacious with a HUGE tub and a super comfy bed. The hosts thought of everything. There was a towel warmer, extra blankets and they even put bottles of shampoo, conditioner, ect out and provided any kind of cutlery we could ask for. We felt like we were staying in a little peaceful oasis. The hosts were gret to communicate with and the spot was SUPER peaceful - little rabbits all over the place. HIGHLY reccommend!"
