Best Western Plus Capitola By-the-sea Inn & Suites

8/10 Good
"We really enjoyed this hotel for our visit. The beds were comfortable and the A/c worked great. Breakfast was really good. My kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The gym wasn’t used but we did go in and it was very clean. Also the walls were not thin like other hotels, we could not hear any neighbors which is always a great thing! The towels were quite rough and there was minor cleanliness issues in our room just some crumbs by the bed before we got there, some rust in the bathroom. Also the sink faucets are just super close to the counter but not really something you can help I guess. Overall we love best western and will always stay here!"
