The hotel was very nice - much better than a typical Best Western! It looked brand new inside - probably was recently renovated. The breakfast was free and pretty decent. The location was in a quiet residential neighborhood. You do need to drive to the beach and other points of interest. Not much was in the walking distance. Parking was easy - there is a convenient parking lot behind the hotel.

We read most of the Trip Advisor reviews before we came here. This was literally an impromptu trip we created on Friday at 4 pm. We looked at Trip Adviser and this hotel got great reviews. We looked at the few negatives and before we booked the King room with the ADA accessible bathroom (it was the only king room left), I called the hotel front desk to ask questions. Steven picked up the phone and he answered everyting for me from customers who had noise complaints, to being on the first floor, to parking, etc. My wife and I finished the reservation, hopped in the car and we were at the hotel in 2 hours. Our room on the first floor was spacious, the king bed was comfortable and the ADA shower obviously had a lot of room. We appreciated the extra sink outside of the bathroom. The breakfast had eggs, meat, waffles and lots of other stuff so it was great for being included in the price. Our room was also quiet and it was restful staying here. The location of the hotel is right in Capitola. We brought our bikes and we were able to bike to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in 20 minutes, to the Capitola wharf in 12 minutes, and we drove over to downtown Santa Cruz as that was further than we wanted to bike. The location and amenities are great at this hotel. Pool, hot tub, gym. Nice features. We would stay here again! Thank you Steven and staff for a memorable stay

I would stay here again. The hotel is in town (not near the water), the rooms were spacious, plenty of parking and breakfast in the morning is helpful to get something in the stomach before heading out for the day. They had homemade chocolate chip cookies at the front desk! All in all, it worked out well.

Over all great stay Good place to stay! The only thing I Must note is the floors are thin so If you are on floors 1 or 2 you will hear people walking and in the bathroom. Breakfast very good and they have good coffee. Clean overall but wished their sink was in the bathroom. We went for the car week event's, but Capitola beach is a cool little area.
