I really liked the bed was super nice slept really well even though our window faced the busy street. The shower body wash, shampoo and conditioner smells really nice too. The continental breakfast actually was not too bad Bagels, different little cake like pastries, fruit, oatmeal, OJ, Coffee. This is for the people that complain about the price while a agree a little over priced to me too however we are paying for location your right on the main strip we came early so we were able to park right on the curb in front so that was really nice and convenient. Staff was super nice and helped us to light the fire pit outside. No for the downside of things I do not like the bird poop all over everything outside and the turquoise table out back just really needs to be re painted with some rust oleum paint, could even be sanded a little and just hit with some spray paint bam new table. The rooms are super small so if you do not like small places this boutique hotel is not for you. But if you like have the location and being right where everything is you will love this place. We had a nice time and slept well probably one of the nicest beds we have slept in. We would definitely come back again so thank you Capitola Hotel and staff!

Hey Casper and hellos

The workers seemed very friendly always acknowledge us the only thing I didn’t like is the parking but that’s always Capitola parking….. I do think our room was haunted and yet I didn’t mind it too much. He just wanted to be acknowledged. Interested if anyone else had the feeling of that. But I do think maybe a smart tv would make it better for movies but we made due.

Cozy stay in the heart of Capitola.

Although our stay was on the second floor and I have limited mobility we managed to get everything situated and did enjoy our stay. All except for the six-legged invaders who decided to visit us during the evening. Just had to make sure that no food was left out. Biggest detractor was not having a microwave available. Stay was nice but stairs would be a concern to stay again (no elevator).
