Top The Hook Hotel Reviews

Ocean Echo Inn and Beach Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful place! My husband and I and our two dogs truly enjoyed our time here. Walking distance to the beach. We enjoyed a nice beach bonfires every night. Can’t wait to go back."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Unique, the snacks in the room are “complimentary “…sure, you’re paying for them in the long run, but it’s a totally different “feel” than places that put $5.00 bottles of water in the room. Staff extremely polite, attentive and helpful. Will stay again. Longer next time."

Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was so friendly, super helpful and everything was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be coming back."

Best Western Plus Capitola By-the-sea Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Exceeded every expectation for a Best Western. Staff was professional, competent and helpful. Facility is large and well maintained. Our room was spacious, with a large bed, L,-shaped sofa and small desk, with 4 drawer dresser with counter top for our bags. Even our bathroom was larger than I have found in similar hotels. Located close enough for a short drive or a vigorous walk to and from the esplanade -- my wife and I (mid 60s) walked it 4 times in 3 days. Amenities include a nice outdoor pool and spa (which I visited every evening, using pool towels offered by the front desk). There is a larger than normal and excercize room and a guest laundry available. And a much nicer breakfast than typical, with greater selection and a bit of variation from day to day. In total my wife and I were very pleased with our choice, and expect we will stay here again when we return to Capitola in the future."
