Very clean hotel.
Souad, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Over all great stay

Good place to stay! The only thing I Must note is the floors are thin so If you are on floors 1 or 2 you will hear people walking and in the bathroom. Breakfast very good and they have good coffee. Clean overall but wished their sink was in the bathroom. We went for the car week event's, but Capitola beach is a cool little area.
John, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a beautiful hotel. Our room was amazing! Super clean and quite large. We appreciated the full breakfast offered at extended times. The staff is the best! John, at the front desk was wonderful. He went above and beyond to accommodate our requests. We will definitely be back!
Lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Worked well

I would stay here again. The hotel is in town (not near the water), the rooms were spacious, plenty of parking and breakfast in the morning is helpful to get something in the stomach before heading out for the day. They had homemade chocolate chip cookies at the front desk! All in all, it worked out well.

Anthony, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was nice and quiet and we loved that the day we used the pool and hot tub no one was there so we were able to enjoy ourselves. Also the fact that the pool was heated was so nice! The staff was very friendly, would definitely stay there again.

Nice place to stay
Lanilei, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff was very friendly. Overall the hotel is clean and kept up. We were happy to know breakfast was included each day however the area was always messy, the food mildly warm or they were out of most items. The so called gym was a disappointment, they had an only one working machine (an old treadmill) because the other machines had no cord to plug in.
Adriana, 3-night trip

We have stayed at this property dozens of times. It is a great value. Nice rooms, pool and breakfast.
