Its a convenient location walking distance to the restaurants and stores. We stayed in the Bonaire Rm. Quiet, breezey, good light. Very comfortable bed and pillows. The staff was lovely, very knowlegeable and most helpful. The hotel provides parking placards for guests althought, parking during busy times, could be a bit of a challenge. The breakfast is continental and perhaps could be a little more robust.

Wonderful helpful staff, clean room, great smelling toiletries. I think there should be a little warning that they are located across from a bar with loud live music and next to an arcade. We had never been to Capitola so it was a little surprising. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

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.
