Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was amazing!! We enjoyed our stay and plan to be back! Staff was friendly, room was clean, and the pool was awesome! I was not told about parking the first night, but was able to pay with a QR code in the parking lot. "
"Very clean room, comfy bed and the jetted tub was amazing! The location is perfect if going to the Boardwalk. Also there is a Safeway right across the street for easy shopping for drinks/food. We took ride shares from the hotel instead of paying for parking at the boardwalk and it worked out perfect. Will definitely stay here again. "
"We had a great stay! The staff was amazing and friendly 😁 we loved how clean the carpets are kept and loved cleaning staff coming to tidy up every day. The pool was a great temperature and the hot tub was nice! We loved it here and definitely recommend! "
"Hotel was great, very well run. If you have a kitchen you need to pay $50 for cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils - they aren't automatically in the unit. The Rio del Mar beach is very neglected and dirty, not sure why, as it's in a nice area. Also be aware that the area is foggier than Santa Cruz Boardwalk Beach, so worth driving there for better weather and frankly a much nicer beach. Nisene State Park is 5 min from the hotel and has beautiful Redwoods and plenty of hiking opportunities. Overall still a great place to stay. "
