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.

Rooms were nice, however there isn't an elevator to the second floor. If you don't want to take your luggage up a flight of stairs, you should ask for a room on the first floor.

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!

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.

I don't know. When we arrived at 3pm for check-in, the parking lot was completely empty? Our one-night stay was okay, nothing great or terrible. I guess we were comfortable enough and the room rate was reasonable.

The photos on Expedia are outdated. This place had new paint on the outside of building, updated and the rooms and carpet looked like they remodeled it. So it didn’t look as outdated as the photos! Looked better! Parking lot is huge, the area is quiet. Walkable to the beach and loved all the locals and neighborhoods we walked through to get there. Community is safe. The staff was kind!

The property is set back from the busy street, but close enough for us to walk over & enjoy a pizza! We only heard ther guests once - during our 2 night stay. Very pleasant stay - only thing that would have made it better, is if the staff knew the area a bit better - the person I spoke to only knew about restaurants in loop, but there are many other places close by!
