Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
5/5 Excellent
Beautiful Grounds
"Check in to check out was great! Very clean, grounds are really nice and well maintained. Spent first afternoon and all day the 2nd day at the pool. Sip and stroll on the lawn was a bonus we were not expecting. Very fun"

"This was one of the most charming, cleanest and comfortable places we have ever stayed. We were very impressed by every aspect of this hotel and will definitely stay there again.
Our room had a large, shared patio with partial ocean view – we could hear sea lions barking at the wharf. The room had three windows, hardwood floors (actual hardwood), beautifully done tile work in the bathroom, and doors that appear to be from the original hotel in the 1920s (actual solid wood). Beds were comfortable and impecably made (tucked). "

Pros and cons..,.
"The room was not very clean, but the breakfasts are good, they change daily, which includes a waffle machine. The price and it being 5-10 mins walking distance to the beach is great"

"Great location close to the beach, shops, coffee and a soccer field if your into that.
Friendly staff, tidy rooms.
Laundry onsite but you need about a million quarters to use them so useless really. "

"This is my second time here at the hotel. It is a great place if you have children. Our room was spacious and had a small kitchen. The facilities are great and it’s a very convenient location for the beach. Would highly recommend. "
