Top Capitola Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Santa Cruz

8/10 Good

"Proximity to the Boardwalk is a plus! Love that it is only at least 5 min walk. We also lived that there was a pool. The only downside was when we were checking in, we waited for 30 more mins after 4pm because we were told that the rooms were not ready. Though there we were a lot of us who waited that was the first time ever I have to wait for a hotel check in thats why it was kinda disappointing. "

Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Right across the street from the boardwalk/beach. Parking was great. Don't gotta worry about your vehicle being broken into. Staff were nice as hell, no problems there at all. Room itself, no complaints. It was clean, it was neat and the bed was comfortable. Building was clean no trash outside. Will be staying again in the future "

First impression of room wasn’t delightful but we were in a rush. When we returned later that evening, I was able to examine it more closely—and that’s when things changed. The room did not feel clean at all. There were what appeared to be ketchup or possibly blood stains on the wall, along with noticeable dirt marks. Even worse, we found a gummy bear in the bed, which made it clear that the sheets had not been properly changed. That completely turned me off. I felt uncomfortable the entire night and barely got any sleep. Bracelet in chair. I brought my concerns to the front desk. Initially, I was offered free parking, which I already had, along with a $40 breakfast credit since I had become a member. Eventually, they refunded half of my stay, which I appreciated. However, I later realized that I was still charged for parking—despite being told it would be free. The hotel’s entrance and overall appearance are nice, but the cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. It honestly feels like the cleaning service needs to be reevaluated. There needs to be more pride taken in maintaining the rooms. At this point, I don’t feel like going through the hassle of cal"
