What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in Santa Cruz?
If you choose to book a stay at a 4-star hotel in Santa Cruz, you'll typically find lots of amenities to keep you comfortable, such as a gym, restaurant and pool. You can experience top-quality service and upmarket accommodation. Choose a 5-star hotel and you'll get a few extra perks — think around-the-clock concierge, on-site spas and indulgent turndown services.
