Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good
"We were the only people at reception but we waited over 10 minutes to be checked in because the receptionist was on the telephone, giving lengthy instructions to someone about shipping labels…. Then in the morning at the restaurant we had to go away and come back later for breakfast because they only had 2 servers on duty. This property “nickel and dime” you to a huge extent- if you want milk for your morning coffee in the room it’s charged as extra even though we had prepaid for breakfast. You are given only 2 plastic half n half packets in the room and no tea bags. Parking is 15$ extra even though you can’t arrive by any other means and the car park is very big and nearly empty. Breakfast was charged at 58$ which is full menu price, for 2 of us in advance, but after we were finally seated, we were told that we could only have one choice for that pre-charged amount - the American breakfast and coffee or OJ. No pancakes or avocado toast or burritos… we wouldn’t have booked it and paid in advance if we had known. Room WiFi would have been charged as extra unless you joined the Hilton honors program (we did!) . We had paid 309$ for a room for 2 people so these add-on charges seem really excessive. The pool garden was really smelling like sewage; when I asked they said that they were having a problem with the sanitation and it was being serviced later today. They seem understaffed or poorly managed, not sure which."
