The ac/heater did not work so the room was stuffy and cold at the same time. The water would not get hot so taking a shower with luke warm water was not pleasing. Then when we went to lay down every now and them we would fine an ant on us so they were coming from somewhere. There was a huge stain on the floor looked disgusting. This was my second stay with this hotel and i was shocked by the difference in rooms.

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.

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.
