The breakfast menu was a good continental breakfast. The parking included a pass good throughout town which was wonderful because parking is so difficult in Capitola. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The patio area was not too inviting but the lounge where breakfast was served was fine.

The staff was very nice and at first we thought the room was up to par for our taste. Upon waking the next day we found dirty underwear in the bathroom and left over beer cans on and behind the dresser. We had a talk with staff and they apologized with a bottle of Champagne.
