Cozy stay in the heart of Capitola.

Although our stay was on the second floor and I have limited mobility we managed to get everything situated and did enjoy our stay. All except for the six-legged invaders who decided to visit us during the evening. Just had to make sure that no food was left out. Biggest detractor was not having a microwave available. Stay was nice but stairs would be a concern to stay again (no elevator).

Well kept boutique hotel with beach and restaurants across the street. Parking pass nearby helpful though not guaranteed. Nice continental breakfast which you can also eat outside on the patio between building. Coffee or tea available all hours. Use the provided ear plugs if you have rooms facing the street. Tends to be noisy late night and early morning.
