Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
It was good overall, the room and property condition slightly exceed expectations for the price; parking is extra and there’s not much amenity or places to go in the area

Chaminade Resort & Spa
Rooms were nice; beds were a little too firm. The pools are nice; there wasn’t a bar open at the pool but they had a service option although it took an hour to be delivered. The hiking paths were a fun thing to do.
