Amazing stay!
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hilton SC/SV for a few days during our spring break and we loved it! We were greeted by Stacy who was so nice and gave us some really cool spots to hit up in town. It was quiet, clean, and a very beautiful stay. Thank you!

Great check in service, friendly and accommodating staff. Bed felt a little too broken in, so we didn’t sleep the best. Everything else was wonderful, though!

Had a great stay
Stay was good! I would say great but since we were next to the parking it was loud throughout the night due to people leaving and hanging out at the parking. The parking situation was also super confusing. I paid on line and it left me two warnings. Need better system. Overall it was a nice stay. Clean, friendly staff and the pool was heated which is a great plus since it’s so cold there. The front staff is very helpful and friendly. The hotel is clean a little old but it’s a good stay.

A+ for rural families
Resort was lovely, the trees were gorgeous and fragrant, the upper parking lot was busy on the weekend but tbh not even remotely similar to being anywhere IN Santa Cruz. Being from a small touristy mountain town we felt pretty at home. Even the drive down into Santa Cruz was doable for someone who is used to a super rural life, pace, and drive. No complaints from us.

Will try again
Nice hotel! The room was great in all ways, but unfortunately our room had a very strong odor. Not smoke, but just an unpleasant smell. We opened the slider but it didn’t help. I did like everything else about it, so I will TRY it again next time I’m in the area, in hopes it was just that one room that smelled bad. Bed was comfy, decent view on balcony, big tv.

A beautiful hotel at a decent rate
A beautiful hotel with great amenities at decent rate. I'd stay here again. The only down side is that you have to pay for parking.
