Love, love The Capitola Hotel! The staff, especially Julie, are awesome and always helpful, the rooms and property are always clean and welcoming. The Grand Cayman is our favorite room and paying for the garage parking is so worth the price! The location perfect, within walking distance of everything. If you’re a light sleeper, use the ear plugs, early mornings are very noisy with deliveries across the street and the street cleaning.

Stayed in the Grand Bahama room which was very beautifully furnished. Everything was super clean and the robe and slippers were a great touch. The continental bfast in the am was pretty basic but good enough for something light before setting out for the day. Parking was extra for the particular spot we had but it was less than 10 ft from the front door. The courtyard was also nice and cozy. Can't beat the location for this place, will return for sure.

Location was awesome. Could not be better, near the beach and beach shopping. Room had high quality furnishings, but a bit small, although the location made up for all of that. Beds could have been a better quality.

The room was clean and comfortable. We were able to get checked in before check-in time. They were very accommodating with that. We've stayed here a few times before and will definitely stay again!

My wife and I decided to spend our 39th anniversary in Capitola and wanted to stay right in town. We chose the Capitola Hotel and we were not disappointed. It is truly a wonderful boutique hotel. The building and rooms are beautiful and the staff were absolutely the best. It will be our go to hotel whenever we visit the Capitola/Santa Cruz area.

There is nothing bad I can say about this place. The place is cute, quaint and very comfortable. The staff are very welcoming and super friendly. We could literally walk out the front door and take 25 steps and be at the beach. absolutely amazing place. We will definitely be going there again.
