Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreation Area Holidays

I had heard lovely reviews of this place, especially if you're seeing a show at Shoreline Amphitheater. I agree with the recommendations. It is close to the venue with an easy walk, the amenities are nice, and the place is incredibly clean. The only reason I wouldn't give it a perfect score is because upon arriving and checking in, I noticed other guests being given a complimentary beverage of either champagne/sparkling wine, or a beer. Myself and the other guests are all over 21, and I even presented my ID during the check-in process, but none of us were offered this amenity, seemingly due to being assumed "too-young." I understand maybe questioning us and asking for our IDs, but to not be offered anything at all made us feel a bit bummed out at how we were being seen and treated differently than the other guests.

Best hotel experience so far. Friendly staff, very clean rooms, and excellent amenities.

Booked a stay here for trip to take my son to see his favorite artists perform at Shoreline Amphitheater. This was one of the best stays ive had at a hotel. Rageev, Guneet and Fernanado were all amazing and helpful. This hotel has thought of everything you may need or want for a pleasant stay. At checkin we were given welcome bags that had slippers, eyemask for sleeping and a bottle of Path water and there are path refill stations. Rooms were super clean and had every hookup needed for computers or gaming consoles. Nice rabbit air filtration system as well. The windows open fully which is nice for fresh air. The bathroom has heated floors and a Japanese heated toilet seat. The shower has 3 heads. Overhead rain shower, regular wall shower head and a handheld head. Best shower ever. Nice selection of teas, coffees and snacks available free in lobby 24/7 but its the espresso/coffee machine available during breakfast that was my favorite. I've never stayed anywhere that I enjoyed the coffee available. Convenient location to Shoreline. Also there's an In N Out and corner store within a few minutes walking. We will definitely stay here again and refer friends.

It was a really nice room, a lot of space, and the pool was nice. That being said, the locking app situation is hard to manage. Also, because of Internet issues, my husband and I got locked in a stairwell for 10 minutes while our kids were in the room. It's kind of panicking. Also, I was really worried if there was a fire or emergency what would happen since all exits are managed by this locking method, even emergency exits. I hope that place has a plan, because it could be a death trap. Luckily we were on the bottom floor so our evac route was the balcony. Locking stairwells seems so so dangerous. But if you don't worry about that sort of thing it's a great place to stay. 😬
