It’s a unique place in the midst of nature trails and old Redwood trees. It’s also positioned with a direct overland path to the ocean. All around a good choice for a stay.

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
I have many good things to say about our stay however I would have preferred a room with a garden view. We were put in a room overlooking the parking lot and at night a light shined into our room and bed.
