Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good
"Property was very nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location wasn't as close to the beaches as I thought however it wasn't too far. I was hoping for walking distance, but we definitely had to drive. Bathroom was a bit small. Overall, my family and I would go back. It was comfortable."
