We checked in at 9:30pm yesterday and was told there was no parking spot in the hotel garage and we have to find the parking on street. This is the first time we came to Santa Cruz and we’re not familiar with the area at all. It took us 30 minimum to find a parking spot about 10 minutes away from the hotel and the parking spot was only valid for free parking till 8:00am. So we had to get up early in the morning to move our car. It was a terrible experience. We spent over $500 a night and we have to find a parking space by ourselves on the street in a strange city. We have travelled a lot and had never such a bad experience especially it was night and we were exhausted after driving a long way.
