    Capitola Hotel - Beautiful and comfortable bed

    Cute little hotel with very nice staff. We were able to check in early. The bathroom was a bit…read morecramped in the room we had but others are fine. Surprisingly quiet for being on the main road across from Sand Bar. Ear plugs provided in the room came in handy when bar music got obnoxious one night. We got reserved garage parking that worked out well. Capitola just doesn't have parking to support the volume of visitors. Continental breakfast is served a bit later, 8:30am.

    Everyone knows that in Real Estate three things matter: Location, Location, Location. This could…read morenot be more true of Capitola Hotel. Is this the nicest hotel you can find around Santa Cruz / Capitola / Aptos? No. Does this hotel have the best beach views? No. Is this hotel the best overall value for family looking for a beach weekend? No. Instead, if you and your partner are looking for a phenomenal location, super cute rooms, great service, and a location that is unbelievable, then you should stay here. The hotel has a bit of a B&B vibe, but each room has its own bathroom, and there is no need to share space with other guests. The rooms are small, but cozy and clean. There is "OK" WiFi, a mini-fridge, a TV, etc. We booked the "Nevis" room, as it is the only room with an Ocean View. (The View is across the center of the village, but still, you can see and hear the ocean. If you want Ocean View / Ocean Front, this is not your hotel.) The main reason to stay at Capitola Hotel is to come to the Village, park your car, and be done with the car for the duration of your stay. EVERYTHING is within walking distance or a short Uber. You can hit the shops, the restaurants, the beach, the bars, etc. with a short flip-flop walk from the front door. If you book early, they have garage parking, which is EPIC in Capitola Village. They also have beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. that you can use free of charge. There's coffee and lite breakfast in the morning, and happy hour in the evening. My wife's comment after we settled in was literally, "OK, you need to book this room, for this weekend, every year, for the next ten years."

They helped with my Best Western loyalty account (which I was unaware I was a platinum member (who knew). Location was just a few minutes away from UC Santa Cruz and the boardwalk. Great Chinese restaurant and sandwich shop across from us. around us. Some say it is noisy, but we were in the middle. No noise at all. When we opened our blinds, it was the inner enclosed courtyard. Lots of translucent panels that lit up the inside with daylight. There is no pool but there is a large hot tub. Parking was inexpensive ($15/night). It was ample (I have a 4x4 4 door truck and had no problem). The only thing was the toilet in our room flushed very slowly. But the other facilities we used flushed fine. Great place for a family, close to other amenities (gas station, food) and great restaurants around. Pictures on their website are accurate.

    We recently stayed at this hotel, and paid extra to prepay for parking…read more However, this hotel would not honor that, and still made my family pay for parking. After a rude and unpleasant interaction upon check-in, I called corporate. Corporate confirmed that they prepaid for parking. Corporate called the hotel, and told them they needed to honor the rate and not to charge my family for parking. I was ensured that the hotel confirmed this, and there would be no additional parking charge. This location, and Crystal at the front desk, ignored this and still charged my family for parking, and treated my family poorly upon check-in and check-out. This is FALSE ADVERTISING. We will not be coming back to this location.

    This was an amazing place to stay at. I was not expecting much since I have stayed at best westerns…read morebefore and it's usually just a place to sleep in. Well this place really goes above and beyond. Their rooms are nice and clean, beds are comfortable with plenty of pillows, and I loved how there were two sinks- one inside the bathroom and the other outside. The location was perfect- accessible to everything: food, grocery store, mall, about a 5 min drive away from the water and the pier. I knew they had a complimentary breakfast but this was a whole new level: make your own waffle station, make your own parfait station with fresh berries in individual cups, granola, chocolate chips, cereal, muffins, bagels, English muffins, and bread. They had little individual peanut butter, jellies, and Nutella. If that wasn't enough, they had the hot food with bacon, eggs, and biscuits with sausage gravy. If you need anything, they text you from number and you can text them with anything you need: housekeep services, requests for towels, etc. Will definitely stay here again if staying in Capitola.
