“Great price for location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

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 noise from other rooms to be much worse.
On a more positive note, everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. We may go back again, but we would need a bigger room if available.

“Yes it is loud but,......”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

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 the Costco muffin.

It's a great hotel location wise. The price is fair.

“Coming Back soon!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

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 complaints about the makeup removing cloths, they are people who are in a habit of complaining. Just enjoy your stay, relax and be happy. And of course you have to return the park pass, it's like gold, they can't just be given to every guest for eternity. Those were dumb complaints. Coming back ASAP!

“Intimate, stylish & convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

people found this review helpful

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 a few treasures at bargain prices. The locale is excellent as we parked our car once (no fee with the Hotel parking placard) and walked everywhere.

Room Tip: Martinique room has interior window no view to the outside

“nice and comfortable hotel in good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2011

person found this review helpful

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 for a short time in the morning.
Nevertheless, it is good value for money.
