Top Capitola Wharf Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"This place was in a nice quiet area. Check-in was easy. Water pressure was good. Place was very clean and smelled good. No hassle parking and included a breakfast. Just lower your expectations for breakfast it's basically coffee, juice toast and waffles. Don't expect eggs or bacon/sausage. It's good to hold you over until you get a real meal. Wifi was good and overall place was good."
