Weekend getaway.

We will stay here again. 15 min walk to the beach, 15-18 min walk to Capitola Village. Rooms are spacious and clean, complimentary breakfast offers good combination of cold/hot food. Waffles were the best! Property is well kept and staff was helpful. Hotel offers parking so you do not have to deal with the limited parking at the beach or in the village. Shadowbrook restaurant offers complimentary pick up from this location.
