Overall good night’s rest

Friendly service at the front desk. Place is clean. Bed was comfortable. The room we stayed - looks like they were still working on the wall for the showers.

Mediocre stay

Commercial trucks unloading outside the room at 4:30am was not very pleasant. Lost a lot of sleep because of this. Also surprising was the duck tape holding the floor together by the bathroom?

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.

Amenities such as the pool/jacuzzi and free breakfast were amazing. Breakfast was great, opened early at 6am with lots of options. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, they even gave us freshly baked cookies upon arrival! Nice little treat (especially for our kids).

What a beautiful hotel. Our room was amazing! Super clean and quite large. We appreciated the full breakfast offered at extended times. The staff is the best! John, at the front desk was wonderful. He went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. We will definitely be back!

Worked well

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.
