So, this hotel is NOT in Santa Cruz (and doesn't have the Santa Cruz vibe, if that's what you want) and it's definitely NOT in San Jose "South" (as Hilton calls it). But it's a very nice property, a step up from your typical Hilton hotel and probably the nicest hotel in Scotts Valley. If you are doing business in... more

Just got back from a stay. Nice as all Hiltons are, room was a little disapointing though. Beds were good, amenities were fine, but the fourth floor two bed room was a cavern in the sence the echo was defining. during the night the ac hum that usually puts me to sleep echo's so much it kept me from snoring.... more

Just spent this past weekend here and have nothing but positive comments to relate. Even before arriving the front desk worked it so that the family accompanying us would be located directly next door to us. Upon arrival, the hotel's exterior is very unique and set in a beautiful hillside. We stayed in a suite which was worth the upgrade... more

My husband and I stayed at the Santa Cruz Hilton for a long weekend, while a friend of ours got married at the Passatiempo. What we loved about this hotel was that it was quiet, the rooms were very clean and new, the bed was AMAZING (we both slept through the entire night every night of our stay! Very unusual... more

This was a great hotel in a perfect location. My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night on our way to Monterey. The hotel was easy to find and located on the side of a mountain and was absolutely gorgeous. Our room overlooked mountains and was on the 6th floor. One problem was that there was only one elevator... more

I have stayed at this hotel several times over the last two years and it is the staff's friendly attitude, clean modern rooms and cozy architecture that draw me back each time. The hotel is a quiet location within a ten minute drive to Santa Cruz. The lobby bar is a nice place to chill out and also draws locals... more

Great experience at this hotel. Everything as very well maintained, pool and spa are very clean. What I really loved was the fitness room- this is one of the most extensive fitness rooms I have seen at a hotel in this price range. There are 3 elipticals and 3 treadmills, each with their own television screen for private viewing while... more

We wanted a place that was a little quieter than the actual Santa Cruz Boardwalk scene and that we knew we could count on to be clean and neat. We have a 3-year old daughter and wanted a place that wasn't grungy. We reserved a standard room with 2 queens. My husband liked the free wireless internet. The room had... more

Located in Scotts Valley, not Santa Cruz. It is conveniently located near the onramp to Hiway 17 for quick access to Santa Cruz or Los Gatos . I needed a comfortable hotel near my home for several weeks, and the Hilton was a good choice. The rooms are big enough for a king size bed and a sitting area of... more
