Part of the hotel is newly renovated and looks really nice. It has its own parking lot, and that’s very helpful. There’s a nice courtyard with outdoor seating and the pool. The fitness center is easily accessible from that courtyard too.

Great stay
Me and my Girlfriend had a wonderful time at the Best Western Plus Capitola By-the-Sea Inn & Suites. We had a late check in but the lady at the front desk was very sweet and accommodating. The breakfast was the bomb with a huge selection of juices, yogurts, ect. We unfortunately did not visit the pool or jacuzzi but will do so if we come back!
