Great location - walked to Capitola Beach one day and Pleasure Point the next. Nice breakfast with hot food and waffles and more with option to sit inside or out on patio. Hot tub and pool that were perfect temperatures. Nice sized room with sitting room/small living room with tv. Everything in great condition.
