Felton is stunning--majestic redwoods, peaceful river vibes... or so we thought. Unfortunately, the…read moreproperty owner had other plans. We arrived Mother's Day weekend hoping for serenity and got a front-row seat to her personal 40th birthday rave. The main river access? Taped off for her party from Friday to Sunday. The peaceful sounds of nature? Drowned out by a DJ and enough bass to rattle the trees from 5-9pm on Saturday. Other guests looked just as confused as we were. Things really peaked when our assigned parking spot was taken by a party guest after we came back from dinner, and the "emergency" contact basically said, "Good luck--there's a party going on." Nobody in the office, of course. The cabins themselves? Think sad summer camp meets thrift store chic--hot, musty, and uncomfortable, with a creaky bed and WiFi that gave up faster than we did. The location has so much potential, but, unfortunately is neglected by an owner who doesn't care about you or your stay. In fact, she passed by my family a few times and did not appear to be friendly. If you're looking for peace and nature, this place might deliver--just not when the owner's throwing herself a bash like it's Coachella.

However, check in was incredibly strange... we had to call a number at the door, then we called another number. Finally about what seemed like 10-15min, a lady came out and showed us to our room. Once at the door, she had the wrong keys. She went back and gave us the correct ones. But after that, everything was great! lol

Yak milk bone (for dogs) and goat milk soap (for people) - these are but two of the more…read moreinteresting things we discovered during our stay at this dog-friendly bed and breakfast. Sitah and Dale (the owners) and their staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Their affable mien, as well as their superb culinary skills, made our stay memorable and deeply satisfying. We chose the East Room. It is lovingly decorated, spacious, and well-furnished. The queen size bed, desks, sofa, mini-fridge, and heater that warms up the toilet seat provide just about all of the creature comforts one needs. The room also has a fire stove to delight the pyromaniacs and a huge, deep stone soaker tub that can easily accommodate two sumo wrestlers (or half a dozen jockeys). A couple of things to note: (1) There's no cell phone reception (at least not T-Mobile or Sprint). But there is free WiFi. (2) While the windows and skylights may infuse the room with a bright and cheery feel, they may make it hard for you to sleep in late. So don't forget to pack your sleep mask.

I am so delighted to now say that Sitah and Dale made the most special day of my life a total dream. After searching up and down the California coast for a place to get married that felt "right", I was feeling pretty disheartened and was ready to throw in the towel. But, on a whim, we decided to take a trek to Bonny Doon on our way to another venue location and I happened upon the Redwood Croft for a potential place for out of town guests to stay. And wouldn't you know it, they mentioned they host events on their website! My now husband and I took a day and drove down the coast from San Mateo and stopped in to chat with Sitah about her home. The place was (is!) stunning and from the moment we set foot on the grounds, we knew it was the perfect place to get married. Sitah and Dale charge a reasonable amount for the 2 night rental of their whole B&B, plus having nearly 100 people on-site for a wedding! It was so magical to spend the night there before the wedding, then to wake up and eat Sitah's homemade blueberry pancakes (which she made a batch gluten free for me! So amazing!) and spend the rest of the day primping and relaxing before we said "I do!" on their beautiful back lawn and garden. They made everything go so smoothly and they opened their home to my family for the weekend -- it made the wedding weekend just sublime. Before we had our big day, the hub and I spent an impromptu overnighter at the Croft, just to get a feel for it. Our night was peaceful (we stayed in the East Room) and I can't wait to go back now and spend special weekends and anniversaries there. Thank you, Sitah and Dale, for making our day a true piece of romance. Our memories will be sweet and our life will be grand and you had a hand in making that come true for us!

I've always seen these cute, colorful units and thought it would be too expensive to stay at. To my surprise, mid week was a great deal! The parking situation was close by and we even were able to check in online and I was able to use my phone to open the door keyless!! The decor is beach and relaxing. I wish I was able to take advantage of the kitchenette, but our stay was so short that we were in and out of there. We had a cup of soup, bread and a beverage in Capitola before heading out to our show. We know now that this is definitely going to be an option for future trips. Looking forward to the next time I land in Capitola.

Arrived there to stay 1 night to celebrated my daughter's birthday even if it's raining she just wanted to be by the beach so we came across this place, we used Expedia and fully paid it on there which when we check in we're only suppose to give a card to hold incident fees and parking, WELL KERI said we never paid and we need to pay when we check in, she doesn't want to see any proof she said we need to pay and Expedia needs to pay, she accused us that we're refusing to pay and we can find somewhere else. I gave my card and she took the WHOLE amount double charge us, I ask for the number of manager she gave me the name EVELYN and gave me the wrong number. She was texting someone which she said she's texting her manager that I'm refusing to pay once again she already took the funds out of my account. She refused to have her manager call me. Then I Stepped out my mom and daughters went to try to talk to her and she accused them of yelling at her which they didn't it's all on camera my daughter filmed it and it was shown to the police. She told them to leave the office and my mom called the police. The police came she could not explain what credentials mean to the police.

We have everything in video. Just a recommendation don't stay here if you want to have a hard time!

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."
