Top Capitola Hotel Reviews

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good
"Convenient and clean hotel close the beach and easy freeway access to everything else Santa Cruz has to offer. The staff was very friendly and patio at the restaurant was very peaceful. We have stayed there several times and find the freeway side buildings to be extremely noisy. The light coming through the door at night was a bit annoying and the daily charge for parking was a surprise and seems unnecessary. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Towels were not replenished the second day. We were given complimentary bottles of water when checking in, and that same water was $3 ($5 for Fiji water) in the room. . Why charge for water? Seems petty. Not our favorite place in the Santa Cruz area but we will probably stay there again due to the location."

"Quiet and spotless with a great seasonal pool. I was surprised to find only shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower/tub combo. Another bottle, apparently a bath gel, was mounted near the sink out of reach. I would also have appreciated having a rubber shower mat or something else to prevent slipping in the tub."

"My biggest question would be why on earth are the towels grey…? They don’t look clean even if they are, but also they don’t look like the color is intentionally chosen… they’re pale grey and look as though they just don’t get washed properly."
