"The rooms are remodeled and quite nice. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. The facilities are quite old but maintained ok. The hot tub barely worked and it was a guessing game on how to find our room. The man who checked us in was less then friendly"

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location with a great view; the rooms are nicely decorated and have a warm feel. There is a small balcony to sit and watch the sunset. The Venetians of Capitola provide the feeling of being in Europe. Just amazing. So close to the beach and a nice little shower to wash the sand off your feet. Love the touchless checkin flow and everyone is so nice."
