The property was nice and clean. The beach is conveniently near by and shopping and restaurants where also near by. The only thing we had to bring our own cookwar, dishes and utensils. Other than that we really enjoyed it.

Front desk staff not customer service at all! Booked a full kitchen unit advertised as 2 queen and 2 double for 8. Had 2 queens and a broken down pull out sofa. Kitchen had NO cooking pans or utensils. Asked office if rhey had silverware for the kitchen and ahe said we can rent them for $50. Bought plastic at the corner market for $2.89. Location and.room otherwise nice. Need to let customers know they need to bring everything for the kitchen

Absolutely love staying here one of the best places we’ve stayed in a while however, the check-in staff wasn’t the friendliest. We stayed the night decided to add another night so we had to deal with the same check in person two days in a row equally rude/unfriendly both days.

Wonderful room. Fireplace and full kitchen.
Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The location was nice as it was beachfront access in Capitola Village. The room was not quite as described, lacked in proper bedding for the number of people it could sleep. There is a kitchen, but did not provide any kitchen pots, pans or dishware without an additional charge. They also also charge for additional parking $20.00 a night for each vehicle. This would be quite expensive extra charge for multiple groups. There are only 2 rooms. Listing makes it look like you have 4 rooms.

The motel is unique and iconic. It is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. It is extremely accessible and walkable to downtown Capitola and the beachfront.
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great views but don’t forget kitchen items.

Great views of the ocean in my room. Also amazing location. In the town of Capitola and walking distance to Shadowbrook Restaurant! I was a bit confused as to why a room with a kitchen did not have anything but a coffee maker, toaster and glasses? I have stayed here many times but always had a stocked kitchen.

Secret lil gem!

I feel hesitant giving this review because this place is the best kept secret. Place was amazing. So cool. Staff were awesome. Place was awesome. Price was awesome. Perfect lil place. 20/10 would stay again.
Michael, 1-night trip

Great room & views; sad to find dishes aren’t free

Incredible views and great room. Lots of space for the family. The one thing is we got a room with a kitchen so we could cook in the room and they had nothing in the kitchen. They charge $50 to use their dishes and utensils and another charge for pots and pans. That was disappointing so important to know if you are choosing a room with a kitchen.

The ocean views were amazing. Walkable to downtown Capitola. You can walk to the beach. The only negative thing is thst the rooms need to be updated. Need more counter space in the bathroom.
Rachana, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, friendly staff. However, not worth the price. The room was somewhat poorly appointed and the bed was uncomfortable. If the price were $150 less, this place would be awesome. But for how much we paid, the value just isn’t there.

Day trip to the beach

My Aunt and I wanted to do a trip to the ocean, as I'm from WI and a lot of my family is from CA. This is her favorite oceanside place to go. I was so happy to find this place. We loved it!! I see people talking about the smell... You're a minute from the beach! It's going to smell beachy, like there's seaweed that's floated up getting bad from time to time. Expect that. Don't be so judgemental. It's a phenomenal place, lil apartment feel, amazingly comfortable bed with odd big blinds that open up into the "living room"? We loved the uniqueness!! Thank you! We will be back again! ❤️
