The staff was welcoming and friendly. We had early check in and the room was spotless. Everything is all decorated so nice. Breakfast was generous and delicious.
My wife and I decided to spend our 39th anniversary in Capitola and wanted to stay right in town. We chose the Capitola Hotel and we were not disappointed. It is truly a wonderful boutique hotel. The building and rooms are beautiful and the staff were absolutely the best. It will be our go to hotel whenever we visit the Capitola/Santa Cruz area.
This is our 4rth time staying at the Capitola Hotel over the past 10 years and we are never disappointed . Always friendly and clean with many great amenities . Location is perfect !
The room was clean and comfortable. We were able to get checked in before check-in time. They were very accommodating with that. We've stayed here a few times before and will definitely stay again!
There is nothing bad I can say about this place. The place is cute, quaint and very comfortable. The staff are very welcoming and super friendly. We could literally walk out the front door and take 25 steps and be at the beach. absolutely amazing place. We will definitely be going there again.
Location was awesome. Could not be better, near the beach and beach shopping. Room had high quality furnishings, but a bit small, although the location made up for all of that. Beds could have been a better quality.
