As I write this review I’ve given myself lots of time to mull over my family’s most recent visit to this Hilton. Here goes, at just after 11:00 pm on a Friday night my wife and retriever arrive to wait to be checked in as the one clerk was helping another guest. The hotel clerk took my name, and credit card, and checked me in, although she didn’t initially bill me for the dog, as she stated “oh you have a pet?”. I said “yes does it not show this in the reservation? She said yes you are on the 5th floor, and asked me again to bill the pet fee, which is a cost of $100.00. Now I already learned this only after I booked this through Priceline. Meaning I paid for my hotel, and only after learned I had to fork over another $100.00, for my retriever. This is one of several times I’ve stayed at this Hilton, at least 3 or 4 times. First with out dog however. Having stayed at this Hotel before they always extended a $30. Credit at the hotel, either bar, restaurant or snack shop. I mention this as I called before I got to the hotel, before I checked in, and spoke with the desk who advised me, I didn’t ask, they told me to ask for Jeremy who wasn’t available at that time, but to ask upon check in if I could use this credit towards the dog fee. I mentioned this to the Hotel clerk, and asked if Jerry was in? She said no, he wasn’t in and that she couldn’t apply any credit and because I booked through Priceline, I wouldn’t be receiving any credit at all. At this point another women appears, and proceeds to tell me “I am very misogynistic“. I asked her “why she felt this way?” She replied I was speaking down to the clerk and being dismissive” she says this while walking away from me. The alarm i didn’t set went off at 6:00 am, tiny little alarm. It would be nice if housekeeping would check, I didn’t. I did go down and meet with Jerry, the next morning, this whole event, from checkin to checkout was eight hours. And nearly $400. I advised Jerry of what transpired, he essentially shrugged his shoulders and confirmed that no credit for this Hilton honors member was correct and that the $100. Fee was not a big deal. Take aways, last time I will stay at this hotel. The next night I was at the Hampton in Oakland and the experience was beautiful. So many other hotels/motels in Santa Cruz that charge between $20-50. for rover. Keep looking, save some money for the nice businesses in Scotts Valley like the Heavenly Roadside Cafe! They were amazing to me and my dog. Didn’t charge extra to do it either. They didn’t call me names either!
