The room was very comfortable and clean with ample space--very good value for the money, especially when compared to some of the other places in the area. We had a separate area to relax in, with a sofa and additional TV. We very much enjoyed our stay. It was only one night but super comfortable.

Amazing place. We were supposed to stay for one night but stayed for two. Room was excellent, bed comfy and the staff were helpful. Close to really cheap laundrette, do it yourself or leave it. We got a stack washed, dried and folded for $20.00. Coffee over the road, Petes from memory. Capitola was a gem of a surprise and we will definitely be back.

Breakfast was good. We liked that it included eggs, and breakfast meat for the protein. Location was great. Very close, an easy walk to the pier, and the boardwalk is nearby the pier.

Fabulous hotel for our needs. Was just across the road from the Santa Cruz pier and the beginning of the boardwalk so lots to do within easy walking distance. The staff were amazing and so helpful with any questions we had, restaurant recommendations etc.. We arrived there on Thanksgiving Day after a long day of travel and were expecting it to be difficult to find anywhere to eat dinner on a day that is so "family" in the U.S.. Instead, the hotel manager and his wife had put on a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings in the lobby for anyone to enjoy. Never did we anticipate getting a proper turkey dinner that day, it was such a wonderful surprise. The beds and pillows were SOOOO comfortable, we got probably the best night's sleep we had on our whole 6-week trip.

    Capitola offers many good restaurants, and plenty of beaches to visit. We went to the Moss Landing slew one day to watch the numerous birds. We ate at Cafe Cruz, and several other restaurants. We are not exactly a young couple, so we mostly like eating good food, and gazing at the Pacific. The weather was bright and sunny.

    Of course, we may have missed what's on offer... Our hotel was on a busy road near shopping malls, boring chain food outlets and petrol stations, next to a noisy facility of some kind which beeps and crashes into action early in the morning. I hope there is more to Capitola, but our part was definitely NOT by the sea. If there is a better side, it's a pity the hotel didn't illustrate or explain this. If you're on business or visiting family - fine. On holiday looking for a stop by the ocean? Forget it.

    Drab and musty. Needs better decor.

    Drab and musty. Needs better decor. Uncomfortable small bed and couches. Excellent location with view of ocean and ocean sights and sounds but overlooking a crappy roof first. No cookware, dishes or utensils in kitchen. Brown fake leather couches, cheap old pictures on the walls of Mediterranean?? Beige paint, dark brown carpet brown tables and more brown. Tiny shower. Spacious.

    The beaches are nice and easy to access.

    The beaches are nice and easy to access. The wharf is a nice place to shop and eat. If you visit in the fall be sure to bring layers of clothes because it CA be chilly in the morning and evening. Shadow brook restaurant is a great place to eat. The food is delicious and the staff members are great and attentive.

    I couldn’t say I would change anything in this beautiful well maintained hotel. The staff was great. The breakfast was wonderful an all the amenities were as described. I’ve stayed here a few times and was only disappointed in the higher prices and the mixup in giving our keys to other guests by mistake, and on the 2nd day of our 3 day stay, our keys were all deactivated. Thanks for the “ I’m sorry” goody bags! I would appreciate a free nite on a future stay

    The hotel itself is lovely, the rooms are spacious and clean, the breakfast is great and having a parking lot that isn't all open really brings peace of mind. Most of the staff was really kind and helpful when we needed anything. Andre, Julian, the cheerful lady and - I believe - the manager at the front desk, the ladies at the breakfast area.. Thank you!
