Everything was fine, very nice and clean rooms, there was variety at breakfast. But parking is not included, there’s a $25 parking fee, it’s probably typical in the area it just surprised me because it said parking available, I mis interpreted to mean free parking.

Great Area. Unfortunately for us, the shower had the worst water pressure. Barley came out. Our toilet wouldn’t flush. When it did it would take 30 mins for water to go back down. Room 560 needs a lot of fixing.

Confused when checked in. We had the reservation start the day before (we had to change our arrival date). Because we went 3rd party there was nothing they can do. So, we got there the day after our reservation started (4:00 pm). And no room was ready. I literally spoke to someone the day before who assured me we had a room. Remember, I am paying for a room I didn’t use. When we got there, we were noted as a no-show……….?????? We were offered a 50 dollar credit to use which was nice but we heard (SEVERAL) times how short staffed and busy they were. Unprofessional. The client doesn’t care. The 2nd night, we had no hot water in the showers. That was fun. Positives…… Dave in the bar and overall service. Seems contradictory but you had to experience it to understand.

Limited options in the area. I thought Hilton would be a great option. I had to pay for parking, even when staying at the hotel, but this is not mentioned anywhere during booking. I reserved a king room with a balcony. What I got was a king room with a patio. Hey Hilton, a balcony is an outside platform above the ground. A patio is an outside area at ground level.

Upon checking, the concierge was not very friendly. There were a lot of construction workers staying at the hotel. There were no perks and no amenities. The facility was run down. For the same price, we could have stayed at the autograph in Santa Cruz, which is much nicer and much more family. Friendly atmosphere I was quite surprised that this was actually a hilton.
