Top Aptos History Museum Hotel Reviews

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and staff was very friendly and hopeful. As with many hotels it now seems that a parking fee is just another way to increase revenue. Also might be helpful for some to know that apparently no elevators, or at least in the building we stayed but was not an issue for us."

Charming, light-filled home - walk to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"We liked the binder with everything we needed to know and suggestions where to eat and places to visit close by."

Charming, Sunny Home!

"Nice"

Beachside Aptos -- Quick Walk to Beach, Pet Friendly, WIFI, Washer & Dryer

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely stay in Aptos! The host was extremely communicative when checking in and throughout the stay and took the time to call to help me get checked in as I got there after dark. The place was clean, cute, safe and peaceful, and the location was amazing. Just one block from the beach! The place had everything needed, including easy parking in the back, right next to the back door. Or sometimes there was a space available in the front. It's always a treat to find quality, dog-friendly accommodations. There were small grassy areas right out the front along the street for bio-breaks for the dogs, which made that easy. Thank you for being dog-friendly! The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful enough to enjoy sleeping with the patio door open to enjoy listening to the waves crash while falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning. Thank you for a great stay and a fun beach weekend!"
