I booked this hotel because I was doing the Strawberry Fields Road Bike Century in Aptos. This hotel was in a great location, the parking was a bit funky but we figured it out. This hotel is in the middle of town were all the bars and restaurants which was great for us. The hotel offered rooms that exact straight... More

The hotel was built in the 40's. It has been entirely renovated and is very clean. It is in downtown Capitola, across the street from Maranitaville Restaurant and approximately one short block from access to the beach. Drawback is the parking. The hotel gives a placard to be placed on the dash that is good in any downtown parking lot.... More

This hotel is perfect if you want to visit downtown, and not drive. The staff were very, very friendly. The rooms were small, but very clean and cute. Our room was upstairs and across the street from Marguaritaville Rest. The band across the street started loading up their equiptment around midnight, and it was very loud. After that, the restaurants... More

The location is just great - across the street from the beach with many restaurants and shops just steps away. As others have posted the rooms are small but clean and reasonably priced for the area. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed over Christmas so there wasn't a lot of people or any noise at... More

The hotel is right in the thick of things in Capitola and the price is really competitive. The staff go out of their way to take care of you, unfortunately the paper thin walls and mini sized rooms let it down a bit. Most people have complained about the noise from the street and bars outside, but we found the... More

Being in the middle of the village we expected noise. We stayed two nights Friday and Saturday. We used ear plugs to sleep. Closing the window did help too. We heard there is one room with no windows. Those guests heard no noise! The hotel is very clean, stylish and comfortable. The complementary coffee and muffin are okay. We skipped... More

I love this place. It's small and easy to go back and forth to the beach. Across the street, up the small flight of stairs and your there in your room. It was so convenient. I got the best parking spot across the street with the provided parking pass. No problems with noise from across the street. Ignore people's dumb... More

Enjoyed our Capitola get away. The village is crowded but more sedate mid-week. Our room was small but stylish, comfortable and very clean. (Not for folks who like to spread out their belongings.) We savored the flavored coffee and muffins in the patio. We were not in our room for long as the beach and shops beckoned. We found quite... More

Our stay at the Capitola Hotel was pleasant and quiet (weekday), the room (Aruba) small, but comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were disappointed that the complimentary cooked to order breakfast (which was praised for on the hotel website at the time of our reservation) had been terminated without notice, and that coffee was only available...

Seriously - do some research before you decide to stay at Capitola - this is a holiday town with Party weekends. If you're after a quiet getaway - go to Carmel. In saying that, we stayed one night in the middle of the week - Nice quiet time in the town - & it was awesome - no noise complaint... More
