Convenient to what we wanted in Capitola with out the cramped parking and noise of downtown. We are mobile but elderly and were able to walk down to the beach area for an early dinner and back.

Rooms were nice, however there isn't an elevator to the second floor. If you don't want to take your luggage up a flight of stairs, you should ask for a room on the first floor.

Basic Hotel

Basic hotel that offers a minimal low quality breakfast. Rooms are reasonably sized but overall the hotel is overpriced for what it offers. Even the coffee is bland and watery.

I don't know. When we arrived at 3pm for check-in, the parking lot was completely empty? Our one-night stay was okay, nothing great or terrible. I guess we were comfortable enough and the room rate was reasonable.
