Great stay
Me and my Girlfriend had a wonderful time at the Best Western Plus Capitola By-the-Sea Inn & Suites. We had a late check in but the lady at the front desk was very sweet and accommodating. The breakfast was the bomb with a huge selection of juices, yogurts, ect. We unfortunately did not visit the pool or jacuzzi but will do so if we come back!
