Our heater did not work. The light in the bathroom did not work. Usually a perfect stay. This was the first time things were not working.

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.
