I booked a room for a weekend (off-season) and was absolutely delighted with the warm reception, the spectacular location, and the immaculate room. (Not large, not fancy.... but I care more about "clean".) I also appreciated the advance notice about parking and the reserved space that was waiting for me just a short distance from the hotel. (You can forget... More

Had to use some airline credits so decided to head down to Capitola for the weekend. Busy little place in the summer. Just right in the off season. Stayed at the Capitola Hotel right in downtown. Super location. Booked the Grand Bahama rom which is their largest and what we would suggest. Large, clean room. Hotel is small with six... More

Hadn't planned to stop in Capitola, but were pleasantly surprised. After a couple of passes around the town opted for the Capitola Hotel, really friendly staff. The hotel itself was very clean and had a really nice side entrance where you could sit and drink and catch the setting sun. It's positioned not far from the beach and right in... More

This was our last stop on our Anniversary road trip. This hotel couldn't be cuter. Capitola is so quaint and beautiful and Capitola Hotel is smack dab in the middle of town. We stayed here on the off season so I'm not sure what it's like in the summer, but in September...it's GORGEOUS. The hotel is small and sweet, the... More

We only stayed one night. No surprises with our room it was as shown on website. Spotlessly clean and modern fittings. Just found it (the accommodation and Capitola generally) all a bit "twee" and precious. The weather for us was unseasonably cold so beach and sea not too appealing. Would recommend Mexican restaurant round the corner close to sea front.... More

They tell you there is free parking. There is if you can find it on the street or hike up past the police station to a public lot. We had to take the hike as the street parking was non-existant. Also the downstairs room we stayed in was real noisy. First thing in the morning the desk clerk and clients... More

Cozy and cute hotel. If you want quick access to the beach, beachfront shops, restaurants, and bars, then this is probably the hotel for you. The hotel is conveniently located on the main beachfront drag in Capitola, and, when you stay here, you are literally right across the street from all the above mentioned establishments and steps away from sinking...

I booked this hotel because I was doing the Strawberry Fields Road Bike Century in Aptos. This hotel was in a great location, the parking was a bit funky but we figured it out. This hotel is in the middle of town were all the bars and restaurants which was great for us. The hotel offered rooms that exact straight... More

The hotel was built in the 40's. It has been entirely renovated and is very clean. It is in downtown Capitola, across the street from Maranitaville Restaurant and approximately one short block from access to the beach. Drawback is the parking. The hotel gives a placard to be placed on the dash that is good in any downtown parking lot.... More
