Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

10/10 Excellent
"We actually really liked this hotel! It was very affordable so I was a little hesitant at how nice it would be. We were surprised that the rooms were very big had a microwave in fridge a pool, comfy beds and generally the property was in a nice quiet area. It’s convenient to the freeway about a mile from Capitola Beach 10 minutes to Santa Cruz Beach boardwalk and was great for our family.!"
