Capitola Hotel — Hotel in Capitola

While our stay at the Capitola Hotel was fine overall, we would never stay here again. ||Maybe if we had gotten a room downstairs we would have had a different experience but there was absolutely no sense of privacy whatsoever upstairs during the entirety of our 3 night stay. |It felt like we were on the second floor of a small house in a tiny room where you could hear literally everything through the thin shared walls. ||We could literally hear the man next door snoring on the other side of the wall and every single conversation that him and his wife had while my husband and I were laying in bed. (Definitely not romantic) The only time we could relax was when the other guests around us weren’t in their rooms.||It was bad enough that we didn’t want to be at the hotel besides when we were sleeping or taking a quick break and the first night we contemplated if it was worth eating the cost and paying for a different hotel. We almost complained to the front desk about the people sharing the wall with us because you could literally hear everything they were saying but it’s not their fault that the walls are paper thin and you can’t really complain about people talking at a normal volume in their own room. The walls were just THAT thin. ||The beds were comfortable and the location was ideal but those were the only positives. For over $300/night it just absolutely wasn’t worth the money we paid to stay here.||If you’re a couple looking for weekend getaway, we would highly suggest staying elsewhere if privacy is is something that’s...

Maybe if we had gotten a room downstairs we would have had a different experience but there was absolutely no sense of privacy whatsoever upstairs during the entirety of our 3 night stay. It felt like we were on the second floor of a small house in a tiny room where you could hear literally everything through the thin shared walls.

First time staying at the Capitola Hotel. My friend and I stayed overnight on a Monday in the Grand Cayman room which is detached from (but feet away from) the rest of the hotel. It has two firm queen beds, a nice kitchenette with two stools, and a lovely bathroom. The room has a small patio in front where we would sit in the shade in between our walking outings to the beach, the shops, and the restaurants. We parked a block and a half away and hung the hotel-provided parking pass then moved the car to in front of the room in the evening. The hotel staff allowed us to keep the parking pass an extra hour past checkout so we could go back to some shops that didn't open until 11am and spend some time at the beach. We usually stay farther from the beach and drive in and this was much better being able to come and go easily from a home base in the Capitola Village.
