The parking and internet were provided free of charge. There is a lot to do in the area. We rode a train, spent a day... More

Absolutely gorgeous hotel with the most friendly staff that I have ever encountered. The pool and hot tub were perfect except for closing them at 10:30, which kinda put a damper on our new years eve plans:/ and the soap is downright dangerous! The soap in the room does not like to come off at all no matter how much... More

We stayed in the King suite with the small balcony. The room was very spacious with a very comfortable bed. The master bath was well laid out with a jacuzzi tub and roomy shower. The living area was also comfortable. Being just outside the environs of Santa Cruz itself made it easy to zip down a few exits and be... More

This place is in a little hideaway in between Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley... escape from the bustle of the city and stay in a peaceful spot. Cool, huh? This place is cool!

I chose the Hilton Scotts Valley because of the location in the hills outside of Santa Cruz and it seemed like a good relaxing place in the woods. The facility looks new with a lodge type motif. Our room was spacious and had a small balcony. We got a good rate on our room which included the continental breakfast. The... More

This hotel is only a short drive to local attractions - Santa Cruz Boardwalk and Roaring Camp railroad attractions. The hotel had free parking. The food is really good. We arrived on Thanksgiving night and the restaurant had a excellent dinner buffet menu with turkey stuffing and prime rib. It was pricey, but worth it since all of the restaurants... More
