Great location. Seconds away from the beach. Can be a little noisy at times being so close to the action, but still worth it.

Don’t stay here. The beds are feel like sleeping on concrete with a a thin camping pad. But don’t worry, you won’t be sleeping because the noise from all the drunks on the street will keep you up to at least 4 AM. They even put earplugs in the room which do not help at all!

Enjoyed my stay at the Capitola Hotel. It's right across from the restaurants on the beach and within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do in the beach area. The hotel has a nice outside seating area so we could relax outside in the shade between outings.

Horrible stay!!! Staff has an issue with communication. Housekeeping kept walking into my room while I was in bed. Creepy!! Let the front desk know I had a late checkout and she was rude and brushed it off. Never staying here again!

Right next to beach, you can’t beat the location. The room was clean and small. The hotel has a bed and breakfast vibe.
