Room service, the friendly and attentive staff and how clean the hotel was.

The pool area was incredible, fun and well taken care of. Everything else was simply ok. Nothing special. Check in take a long time, with no especial interest to us or our needs. The view of the parking lot from our room did not add to the overall experience. Dining was mediocre at best and a bit expensive for the quality. Good bar staff. Overall this one of the most average of any hotel I have spent time at. Would I return? No.

Very nice property close to parks and beach. We enjoyed our stay.

I had to pay for breakfast when other hotels offer free breakfast

I was charged an extra 100$ for idk what. Will be asking for a refund.

Quaint hotel with great amenties. Nice lobby! Katie the new waitress was very accomodating.

Enjoyed to room, very cozy, comfortable beds. TV and wifi worked great. Wish breakfast was included though. Paying as much as I did for 1 night breakfast in the morning should have been included

We arrived Friday night and was given a room four doors away from the bar. The noise from the bar was extremely loud until after 11 PM. Sunday morning I requested a late checkout and the front desk confirmed we could be out by 12:30 PM. At 9:30 AM a member of house cleaning entered my room even though a "Do no disturb" sign was posted on the door. It was not an ideal weekend.

Great location and nicest hotel in the area. Rooms were smaller than expected and the hotel is built on a hill that makes getting from rooms on the 5th and 6th floor to the lobby and or parking frustrating. Its like a maze 2 elevators to get from 5 to 1.

The hotel was so convenient, yet in such a quiet location, with many great amenities, as a lounge and restaurant, with nice views and landscaping.

I really liked this Hotel. Nice grounds, clean, relaxed.

This is my first time writing BAD review for Hilton property . We also own HAMPTON INN near Chicago area . When I check in front desk don't even have time to tell where we should go . No towel in swimming pool area . Room mell like chemical room . No water bottle in the room. But I still did not complaint . But when I check out after 2 days stay . Front desk ask me .HOW WAS MY STAY? I could not stop my self and told them . But they was very proud to say we don't give water in the room this PROPERTY? This is really WOW . when someone pay more than $400.00 per night not even water there . What a answer !!!!!!!!

Very good location for day trips south all the way to Big Sur and Hwy 1 to San Francisco heading north in a great drive.

Spent a week here. Nice location. About 15 min to Santa Cruz and 20 min to Los Gatos. Monterey, Big Sur and San Francisco all close by. Must do the 17 mile Drive & stop by Pebble Beach GC. Great area with Redwood forest and wineries less than 30 min drive. Hotel is just off Hwy 17 so easy on/off. Google & Apple maps both slightly off so when you get off Hwy 17 it's just across Rt 9 at intersection. From north go straight across and from south turn left at first light and hotel is less than 500 ft on right.

Good location for redwoods and santa cruz. A little far to monteray and route 1.

Nice hotel with very friendly staff. Nice pool, easy parking. Close enough to main Santa Cruz but quieter and less hectic.

Relaxing week and only 4 miles to Henry Cowell State Park and magnificent redwoods and hiking trails..

Nice hotel, clean & quiet facilities, overall a great experience. Only annoyances were limited parking and if you are on 5/6 floors you have to use two different elevators to get to your room if you don't find parking in the back of the hotel. Our room was fairly small, though I think we got put unknowingly into a handicap room so our bathroom was disproportionately large, cutting into floor space in the room. Nice, clean common areas and Starbucks coffee in the lobby in the mornings. Pet friendly, but with the exception of running into some dogs in the hall, you wouldn't know it.

This is an incidental hold in case of ordering items to your room. This is returned upon your departure.
