The staff went above and beyond to make the stay feel welcoming
The beaches are nice and easy to access. The wharf is a nice place to shop and eat. If you visit in the fall be sure to bring layers of clothes because it CA be chilly in the morning and evening. Shadow brook restaurant is a great place to eat. The food is delicious and the staff members are great and attentive.

I couldn’t say I would change anything in this beautiful well maintained hotel. The staff was great. The breakfast was wonderful an all the amenities were as described. I’ve stayed here a few times and was only disappointed in the higher prices and the mixup in giving our keys to other guests by mistake, and on the 2nd day of our 3 day stay, our keys were all deactivated. Thanks for the “ I’m sorry” goody bags! I would appreciate a free nite on a future stay

Great location, elevator not working, room #1 with no view, very stuffy, no designated parking space, very noisy. We were Basically told you get what you paid for. Hard to find parking even though they give you a hang tag permit, there's time limits.

Lovely seaside ‘village’ vibe.
Lovely seaside ‘village’ vibe. Friendly people, beautiful scenery, quaint shops and lots of restaurants. My favorite always is Shadowbrook Restaurant and I like to stay at the Capitola Hotel whenever I can! Great area for wandering through shops and along the sea.

Capitola has a friendly and inclusive vibe.
Capitola has a friendly and inclusive vibe. Lots of families, older folks like us, and younger couples as well. It is charming. Flowers everywhere, interesting cottage type architecture, beautiful ocean views, clean and quiet neighborhoods. Plan to return!
Loved sitting on the balcony of Margaritaville: excellent food, superb views, and friendly and efficient staff.
Recommend visiting Gayles, a world-class bakery, deli, and coffee shop. Short walk up the hill.
Worth it to walk down the pier and watch the larger sea creatures.
Check out the flip-flop shop “Slap Happy.”
Must have lunch on the patio at the restaurant Shadowbrook.” A charming, multi-level restaurant perched on the river bank, accessible by funicular or stairs, with water features and gorgeous plants.

We, and my sisters and cousin, are very familiar with Capitola and have stayed in other hotels/rentals. We love the town. I did feel that the description of the room was misleading; it indicated that our room would be oceanview, but one of us had stayed in the same room before and told us that it actually faced the street. That should be clarified. It turned out to be fine anyway, but others might have been quite unhappy with the location. I forgot to mention that the only negative to the room was an odd smell when we entered - possibly mold, or maybe an unusual cleaning product? It was better after a few minutes and we would still stay there again.
Beautiful lobby, very peaceful and inviting patio area, very nice parking garage and access, delicious breakfast, caring and friendly breakfast attendants, large generous room (it had too much for us - less would have been just as wonderful). The hotel location is fantastically close to all we needed. Hotel facilities are excellent, and availability is great. We really enjoyed this hotel stay, except for the few issues listed below. Thanks for a great stay - we will certainly stay here again, if one important need is rectified.
The breakfast was ok for most people. I'm GF, so I didn't expect much. I also only drink decaf, they only had herbal tea 1 day.
We were able to take a short walk to Peets, Whole Foods and CVS. Through that parking lot at the back of CVS you can access a path along the creek to the warf. It's a bit over 2 miles RT. It wS also close to freeway, and 41st street. They were doing some repairs on the hotel, some of the smells were bad. But all in all were happy with our choices.
The hotel itself is lovely, the rooms are spacious and clean, the breakfast is great and having a parking lot that isn't all open really brings peace of mind. Most of the staff was really kind and helpful when we needed anything. Andre, Julian, the cheerful lady and - I believe - the manager at the front desk, the ladies at the breakfast area.. Thank you!
Where do we start? Location location location. 15 minute walk to Capitola. Separate cottage with a full kitchen with plates and silverware etc & dinette. Nice backyard for doggy. Excellent breakfast each morning. We wanted to stay another night but they were booked. Met a couple from Israel and another couple from Norway. This place is in high demand
This is very special B&B hotel located in an amazing place. The rooms are kept in old fashionable style so you can imagine this place long time ago already welcoming guests. It is a nice 15 minutes walk to the center of Capitola. We got good recommendation for the whale seeing trip ans it was juts amazing to see these animals!
The hotel looks very nice from the outside. The rooms are spacious enough, with a small fridge and microwave. The pool is smallish, but large enough. It’s a 15 minute drive into the centre of Santa Cruz. Restaurants and supermarkets are a 5 minute drive.
The breakfast was simple, but you could make your own waffles.
It’s a great location. It’s very clean and the staff were very friendly. There are several restaurants right across street for lunch or dinner and a coffee shop for a quick breakfast offering bagels and other morning foods. The coffee prepared at the hotel in the morning was good.
The location was near a massage spa, coffee spots, Capitola and Santa Cruz; very convenient! Complimentary breakfast was good and had a lot of variety. Refill water bottle station located near the front desk. Room had a fridge and microwave to store and warm up food.
We stayed here twice in one trip as it was probably the most comfortable hotel of the road trip. Rooms were really big and comfortable, the staff were excellent and the breakfast set us up for the day. It felt like home.
Sager, host most helpful, nice, informative. The room was comfortable and access courtyard a plus. Walk to town very convenient and hotel restaurant recommendation excellent. We had a very nice stay.
Great location, nice neighborhood, lovely garden with beautiful views of the ocean and 10 minutes walk from Capitola seaside and restaurants. Very good bed and nice breakfast provided by friendly staff.
