Surf City Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"Rooms were updated and nice"

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

8/10 Good

"The location was very conveniently located, however the property was a bit dirty feeling. The hallways smelled musty/ mildewed and were a bit dark. My room smelled clean, but the carpet was covered with what looked like dog hair. The soap and shampoo smelled great and were convenient in the kind of bottles that are refillable, which I appreciate. Linens and pillows were very good. Another area that was a bit disappointing was the pool. There was only one towel which my friend and I had to share. There was garbage (which says more about the other guests than the hotel tbh) Overall, I’d probably stay again, however it was not as nice as I had expected given the price."

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed there many times and we enjoy it every time. Didn’t go to the restaurant because it tends to have a long wait and no free breakfast is kinda a drag because it’s so busy in that area. But the pool and hot tub are really nice and it’s a nice facility. The rooms are nice enough with your usual coffee pot and small fridge. You get a little outside deck area with a couple chairs and a little table. We requested two rooms to be next to each other and they accommodated us. The price is REALLY good compared to most hotels in the area. We paid a little over $200 a night for each room. It was a Wednesday and Thursday so that might be why it was so cheap. Anyway, 10/10 recommend!!"
