the 2 things I did not like was that if you arrive before 4pm you were charged 30 dollars. they also did not say you have to pay 15 dollars each night to park in there lot. We paid over 700 dollars for 2 nights I think we should have had free parking.

The room was dirty and smelled bad the bed was behind a half wall so you couldn’t see the TV and the TV didn’t work. And the check in clerk wouldn’t even let us in the parking lot because she couldn’t be bothered on her ‘mandatory break! We will be asking for a refund from Expedia.

The main strength of this motel is its proximity to Shadowbrook restaurant, just a few minutes walking, perfect for avoiding driving after enjoying one of the restaurant's amazing wine offerings. The motel is also by the beach, but it is not on the beach, and any view from the ocean-side rooms is blocked by other buildings. There's a nice kitchenette, and everything was visually clean, but an odor of staleness permeated the room. The staff was friendly, but the nickel-and-diming policies were annoying.

As always a easy, nice stay. Super convenient. Friendly staff. Only side note is this new $15 a day parking??? What is that about? If you want to raise your rates, raise them but don't hide them in the "parking fee".

We stayed in room #133, which is the end unit right by the bridge and busy street. It was noisy because of the people/car noise, but the location was amazing! No views though. Spacious room with a gas fireplace. Pull-out couch with a 2nd bed in living room and another bed in the bedroom. Stove/oven was small, but big enough to cook on. Full-size refrigerator. Would stay in this unit again, even with the noise.

We stayed at this hotel because the direct access to the beach and short walking distance to shopping and restaurants. Staff was great and we had a beautiful view of the beach. Parking is extreamly tight for larger vehicles. Inside the hotel room it was outdated and smelled a bit. Probable from the old carpet throughout the room. It wasn't horrible, but when you're paying $665 a night, you don't want to feel like you're staying in a rundown Motel. It might be a good idea to invest some of that money to modernize the rooms.

I didn't know where the office is. There isn't great customer service for the price you pay. You can leave a voicemail and no one will return your call. There's an arrow pointing to the office but it is not the office. Bad service and guidance overall. Views and to sightsee ok, but I would recommend staying somewhere else.

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.

Is there such thing as too close? This is it. Great location with easy access to the beach and Capitola Village. Parking is impossible. Older hotel and shows its age. The biggest challenge is the fact that it's so conveniently located to the beach that families let the kids run around and act Out of control. There is no peace. Screaming and yelling 12 hours a day.
