8/10 Very good

Great Place to Stay to Explore Capitola

Everyone was very friendly and the room is comfortable. It is a good choice for people who want to explore Capitola. It is about 1 mile to downtown Capitola with the beach and many great restaurants to enjoy.

Tight squeeze

The bed was so close to the desk making it nearly impossible to squeeze by at the end.

Just what I needed after attending a 3-day conference: cleanliness, very comfortable bed, comfy lounge chair with ottoman, balcony with views of nature and very quiet. I would stay here again!

4/10 Fair

Filthy

The places was filthy. People were working on their cars in the parking lot with oil leaking everywhere. The room was not made and obviously someone had just been resting on the bed with the TV on. It was totally gross.

Great location

The location is great--walking distance to shops and restaurants, close to beaches on Highway 1.
Patricia, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Convenient to what we wanted in Capitola with out the cramped parking and noise of downtown. We are mobile but elderly and were able to walk down to the beach area for an early dinner and back.

George, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was easy to find and quite close to good restaurants.
Dean, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Stayed one night only, saw cockroaches in bathroom, shower water was rust colored when turned on, night stand drawer handle was hanging loose due to missing screw, had to use outside stairs carrying our luggage to access our second floor room (no elevators). Couldn’t report these conditions due to hotel office sign advising hotel office closed until 7:30am as we had to check out of hotel at 6:30am. We were not pleased with this hotel.
Jesse, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We really liked the balcony on the double Queen room, the area around the hotel was well maintained and felt very safe.
susan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic Hotel

Basic hotel that offers a minimal low quality breakfast. Rooms are reasonably sized but overall the hotel is overpriced for what it offers. Even the coffee is bland and watery.
