Service was horrible. Worst hotel experience ever. Three Only person who spoke English was the guy on the desk, nobody else could answer us or help us with anything. No soap in the room and we had to ask three times, the man that came didn't speak English and kept pointing to the shampoo and we were asking him for hand soap. We had to simulate hand washing till he understood us and went away and never came back with the soap. Room we rented we paid extra for a room with a balcony, only balcony overlooked a parking lot. This was supposed to be a forest view balcony. There was a line of trees that we could see beyond the parking lot but no sense of forest and no decent view at all. Many other small things happened that made our stay terrible.. can't write about all of them. Good thing about the hotel is how it looked outside. It looked somewhat like an old castle. That was what attracted us to it when we booked our room.

I experienced several issues during my recent stay at a hotel. Firstly, I found that the bathroom towel provided to me was dirty and not properly cleaned. Secondly, the service at the hotel restaurant was frustratingly slow, and to make matters worse, they had run out of food. Moreover, the information provided by the hotel regarding parking was incorrect. To add to my woes, I accidentally left my retainer in the bed sheets, and despite informing the hotel staff, they could not locate it. All these issues have left me feeling extremely dissatisfied with my stay at the hotel.

I paid more for the room with a patio, but as I walked into the patio there was evidence that they haven't clean it at all. There were dog poop on either side of patio. I had to ask twice for them come clean it. The bathtub drain was completely clogged up I had a ask them to come fix it. They took care of these issues, but I was expecting to not have any.

Not a great experience. They charge $10 extra for parking. The view of the room was all blocked even though I had selected a room with a forest view and they refused to change it. Even with my Hilton gold membership, they refused to change it. The staff was rather rude. There was no breakfast included and the buffet was very mid. Definitely not worth the $24 they scalp for it.

Overall a nice facility and comfortable clean rooms. Although I did not park a vehicle, my fellow travellers had to pay for parking which I thought was unnecessary in a small town where parking is pretty much free elsewhere.

I didn't like being charged $10 to park way down the hill. Hidden fee. I didn't like getting ripped off for $40 and had a terrible mixup on rooms checking in. Putting railings up in a bathroom doesn't make it "Accessible". Try putting the towels IN the bathroom, not the cloet in the main room. Don't put the coffee pot out of reach for someone in a wheelchair. Don't put a timer on the bathroom light, a real problem for wheelchair bound. sit in a chair and try to look in the mirror in the bathroom. Fine if all you want to see is your forehead.

Scott’s Valley Hilton was a wonderful experience. The only down side was our room was not ready at 530 pm. They were professional and apologetic and made it right with an offer of free breakfast and a wonderful dinner recommendation. We went to dinner and it was ready before we returned! The hot tub was also on the cooler side but the rest of the facilities were perfect.
