No housekeeping

Hotel was clean but we did not get housekeeping service which hilton says every member gets it daily as complimentary which is not true. Will have to rethink our next trip to any hilton.

Nice and clean stay

Stayed for Memorial Day weekend. Hotel is very nice. $17 for overnight parking. No complementary breakfast. Pool was very busy at 5pm on Sunday evening. Full of children but what can I say it was Memorial Day weekend. Room was nice and clean.
Nylisa, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Upon checking, the concierge was not very friendly. There were a lot of construction workers staying at the hotel. There were no perks and no amenities. The facility was run down. For the same price, we could have stayed at the autograph in Santa Cruz, which is much nicer and much more family. Friendly atmosphere I was quite surprised that this was actually a hilton.
