Top Hooper Beach Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

8/10 Good

"The bedding and bed were very comfortable. The shower had no small shelf for extra showering products for those who must use some with no fragrance. No elevator was hard for those with some disability. The snickers bar from the machine was dry and old. The breakfast was appreciated. The building was In good shape and the grounds were beautiful. Too cold to use the pool but it looked beautiful. The staff were more than interested and liked to talk with us about our trip, special thanks to Tracy. The air conditioning blowing across the beds was not comfortable. The cleaning staff were very efficient and welcoming. Liked the proximity to all the great restaurants and shops. Capitola is a beautiful and fun city. We enjoyed our trip and your hotel staff helped us with what we needed. Thank you"

"We really enjoyed our stay. Loved that we had a garage for the car, so we didn’t have to find parking. Our bed was very comfortable. Loved that the house allowed our dog. If thee was anything to change, it would be a more comfortable couch, but there are two very nice leather recliners. We had a lovely dinner at Shadowbrooke. We would stay here again."
