I booked this Hilton hotel for 2days, 1night trip to visit Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the Mysterious Spot. The hotel was located within an accessible travel distance to the two attractions. I booked a room with two double beds. The room was clean, and newly renovated. Parking fee was USD10. There was an extra fee for in-room WiFi. The heated outdoor swimming pool was a bit small and crowded in the afternoon. The pool water was not clean, with leaves, bugs and human hairs. If I visit Santa Cruz again, I will try other hotels in the area.

Convenient location. Slightly dated - especially the bathroom

Loved the gardens and pool area. Restaurant with live music was a bonus. We ate elsewhere, so I can not comment on food.

The hotel is located in a valley, there is a stream outside the room, the balcony door is open, the stream is gurgling (this sound is so healing), the room is super big, with two 1.35 beds, the concentration of oxygen ions in the air is very high The only regret is that the water was cut off when taking a shower

Just in Santa Cruz, not far from the beach, the important thing is that there is a more authentic Chinese restaurant next to it. The room is bright and clean. The breakfast is average. If you park, it costs 15 dollars a day. You have to give the car key to the front desk to help you park.

I feel that the room is a bit poor, the balcony is connected to the balcony, I don’t like the privacy of this room, the parking is difficult to pick up the luggage in the room, I won’t consider such a hotel next time, the sea view room is beautiful, you can Seeing the sunrise 🌄 Live once is enough...
