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.

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!

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.

1-night trip

4/10

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.
1-night trip

10/10

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

6/10

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.
