Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The hotel was beautiful. However, the room was not the best. There was no outlet by the nightstand between the beds. I have a CPAP machine and I needed to buy an extension cord in order to plug it into an outlet across the room. There was no microwave, and no ice bucket.
