Lovely small hotel right in the centre of Capitola. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. We were welcomed by Mark who gave us great advice regarding making the most of our short stay.
Negative:
Breakfast was very basic and we would have preferred proper mugs/cups rather than disposable ones.
Summary: Lovely little hotel
