Liked: Staff & service
We loved the location and staff! Our room, the hideaway room, was a little dated and dark. We sat outside on the patio which was cute. The chair cushions were a bit dirty and the roof had weeds growing on it so it seemed a little neglected. However, Summer, at the front desk was very helpful and kind. We love the area and walkability! The breakfast was nice! If they updated the bedding and carpet/interior, we would definitely go back!

Location is great, it’s dated but charming. It needs attention to some few details. Carpet could use a deep clean, and the bed smelled musty. Grounds are beautiful and could be tidying up a bit. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The continental breakfast was a nice touch and done well.

Beautiful stay in Capitola
On a 24 day road trip down the west coast, this was by far the most beautiful property we stayed at (and one of the most moderately priced). The room shows a little age, but nothing that deterred from the stay.
