Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley
Loved everything about this hotel. Nothing beat waking up and sitting on the balcony, enveloped in the fog. It was the perfect distance for those who love windy drives. Staff was friendly and super helpful.

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The room was nice and the staff was very helpful. It was a basic room but I did like that it had Netflix and HBO attached. Charging 5 dollars for a water bottle is a bit much though. I would have given 5 stars if they had a fitness center
