We loved Capitola ... great little seaside village, much nicer than Santa Cruz. We like the shops and the restaurants. The Inn at Depot Hill was also such a great place to stay. Good rooms, great staff and delicious breakfasts and snacks. I would recommend this place if driving down Hwy 1 and enjoying the Northern California coastline.

Everything was great. Restaurant is good. Room was relatively quiet although the hotel was full. Pool is smaller than anticipated. Personel was friendly and helpful. Not enough towels in the room and no face towels. Easily fixed with calling house keeping.

Beautiful location, if you want to shop, or visit the Winchester house, you can’t beat this place. We had a lovely pool day and the room was very modern. We had a magnificent sleep and loved our stay!

Room was clean, staff were friendly, free parking was convenient, and onsite restaurant was good. Pool was nice even though it was a bit of a walk from them building.
