What a hidden gem! The hotel’s location is perfect, just steps away from the beach, making it easy to enjoy everything Capitola has to offer. The Aruba room was a great size for my daughter and me, keeping us comfortable during our four-night stay. I appreciated how clean and well-appointed everything was. Although I loved my time here, I could hear some noise from nearby activities, but it's manageable. Overall, a lovely spot for a retreat!

The Capitola Hotel is a charming little retreat right in the heart of Capitola, close to the beach and local eateries. My room felt luxurious, and I truly appreciated the high cleanliness standards throughout the hotel. However, the room was a bit smaller than I expected, which may not suit everyone. Also, while the staff were very helpful, the parking situation was quite challenging and costly.

This hotel offers a wonderful getaway with its charming atmosphere and great beach access. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, although a bit on the smaller side. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable, providing helpful recommendations for local spots. While the breakfast options are decent, I did wish for a bit more variety. Overall, it's a lovely place, but the price might feel a touch on the high side, especially for the amenities provided.

I had a great stay at the hotel, which is charming and cozy with a welcoming atmosphere. The location couldn't be better, right across from the beach and near various restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was a tasty perk, though I was surprised to discover the housekeeping policy after my initial stay. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with some minor drawbacks regarding cleaning routines.

I had an amazing time at the Capitola Hotel! The location is unbeatable, just steps away from the beach and a variety of restaurants. The quirky and cozy atmosphere made for a charming stay, and I appreciated all the thoughtful touches. However, there was quite a bit of street noise at night, though the earplugs provided helped a lot. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I can't wait to come back.
