Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

Hilton Santa Cruz/Scotts Valley

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is located at an ideal location if you want to experience serenity, clean and fresh air, mild weather, and a clean, comfortable room. It is located 5 minutes away from Santa Cruz and Capitola. The staff was very professional and kind. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. We were won over at this Hilton and have decided we're going to stay here whenever we visit the coast."
