8/10 Good
"It was not a bad place to stay. Just do not stay in room 204 if someone is above you. First night was the absolute worst I have ever experienced listening to people until 4am. Calling office and complaining. Second night was great! Owen was very helpful and reassured us that nobody was in that room our second night. I would stay again just mindful of the room location. Maybe a top floor"

Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This property is beautifully landscaped with very nice, clean rooms. It offers a free breakfast with many choices. If you have mobility issues, be aware there is no elevator and the breakfast room is on the second floor. It is not extremely close to the wharf or boardwalk, so plan to drive or Uber there unless you’re an avid walker. Staff was very friendly & responsive."

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location with a great view; the rooms are nicely decorated and have a warm feel. There is a small balcony to sit and watch the sunset. The Venetians of Capitola provide the feeling of being in Europe. Just amazing. So close to the beach and a nice little shower to wash the sand off your feet. Love the touchless checkin flow and everyone is so nice."
