Aaron, Jul 2020
Pros (+) Conveniently located so you can drive to almost anywhere to hike, go to the beach or shop. Lots to eat around within a short drive. Priced much lower than Santa Cruz hotels.
Cons (-) Beware of all of the doors not letting you in. The exterior doors will not work 9/10 with your key card. Swapped key cards multiple times at the front desk and that didn't solve anything. Only 1 key card would work and if I went out to take my dogs out (btw no poop bags at all even though they say they do, bring your own) I wouldn't be able to get back in. I had to call my husband to come and open...

Pros (+) Good location between Boulder Creek and Santa Cruz. Used to be a fine Hotle but has declined seriously.
Cons (-) An overall pattern of careless indifference to our comfort made this the opposite of a typical Hilton experience. While one or two glitches are understandable, service was skimpy, or downright bad, most of the time. Worst we our two unasked for wale up calls at 5 A:M both days, even after we called and asked them not to. Then there was the Series of Nos : No water glasses. A $3 charge to deliver o...

Pros (+) Overall friendly and helpful staff, checking in and out was easy. Room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. HBO included. There is a pool, hot tub, gym and laundry rooms.
Cons (-) Unfortunately, my room did not have a bath tub. I was really looking forward to taking a relaxing bath the night I stayed there. Crevice at bottom of front door didn’t make the room entirely dark. Staff were a bit too noisy in the hallways in the morning.

Pros (+) Conveniently located to the highway. Daily complimentary bottled water for Hilton Honors guests.
Cons (-) Staff was curt; housekeeping changed bath mat and towels, but did not clean the bathroom (toilet, sweep floor) or refresh toiletries during my 3-night stay. Noisy panel in ceiling near door. Also, bed was not made after night 2. I reported to front desk that speaker on phone was not operating and it was not addressed. Suggest stairs from tiered parking lots so that pedestrians do not have to walk ...

Shirley, Jul 2017
Pros (+) I arrived for a 3 night 4 day stay over 4th of July The front desk was friendly however, not overly informative as I had heard them be to one of their preferred Hilton points member which was awkward. The layout of the hotel is clearly inconvenient. To get to my room on the 6th floor it required me to take an elevator to the 4th floor walk across to the other side of the building and take the 2nd ...

Pros (+) Conveniently located to the highway. Friendly front desk staff. Parking was convenient with multiple options in front and back of hotel. Ease of use with the restaurant/lounge in the lobby.
Cons (-) Housekeeping staff was noisy in the hallway speaking to each other. They started knocking on doors at 9am to clean the room when checkout is at noon. Also the AC unit in the room made a loud clunking noise when turning on and off.

Pros (+) The location. Quiet and tastefully decorated. Loved the blackout curtains We wished they had given us enough towels as we were three people. I was able to hunt down a housekeeper and she was very accomodating
