- From US$97.72 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.0Good - What previous guests thought, 395 reviewsThe motel staff is very friendly and take care of their customers. They are there willing to help you. I found the room and the bathroom very clean, and the latter also contained a lot of towels. There are a couple of vending machines, useful for quick snacks or drinks. Overall the experience there was very pleasant and I hope to come back soon. I asked them a couple of unusual favors and they always replied promptly and positively. The motel position is very good, both the beach and downtown are within walking distance.Guest review byBiagioItaly

When I was young I lived in San Jose and our mom would bring us to Santa Cruz all summer long. Coming again as an adult brought back so many fond memories. The boardwalk was so different then then. Santa Cruz is such a fun place and so many rides and shops. Every child needs to experience it at least once in their lifetime.Guest review byWanda PapineauUnited States - 10.0

Capitola offers many good restaurants, and plenty of beaches to visit. We went to the Moss Landing slew one day to watch the numerous birds. We ate at Cafe Cruz, and several other restaurants. We are not exactly a young couple, so we mostly like eating good food, and gazing at the Pacific. The weather was bright and sunny.Guest review bysuzanneUnited States - 6.0

I went to Aptos for one night to attend an anniversary party. I have visited the area several times and never found it very appealing as it is very crowded, traffic can be horrendous, and the public beaches that are easily accessible are not very beautiful. I much prefer Monterey or Half Moon Bay or Northern California area beaches for scenic beauty. The party was held at Bittersweet Bistro in Aptos, however, which is a restaurant I do highly recommend if you go to Aptos, the food was wonderful!Guest review byJodyUnited States - 10.0

You can't beat the property and the hospitality of the owners as well. 5 stars and first class all around. I'd like to book it again, but it's a little too expensive right now during busy season so I'll likely have to waitGuest review bySantolucitoUnited States - 10.0

We, unfortunately, chose to visit during the busiest part of the season, but aside from traffic and the Murray Bridge being out, we didn't feel inconvenienced by the larger crowds. The beaches were clean, the warf was a blast, the Seymour Marine Discovery Center was amazing, food was great and the locals were kind!Guest review byAnonymousUnited States - 4.0

Of course, we may have missed what's on offer... Our hotel was on a busy road near shopping malls, boring chain food outlets and petrol stations, next to a noisy facility of some kind which beeps and crashes into action early in the morning. I hope there is more to Capitola, but our part was definitely NOT by the sea. If there is a better side, it's a pity the hotel didn't illustrate or explain this. If you're on business or visiting family - fine. On holiday looking for a stop by the ocean? Forget it.Guest review byKathrynUnited Kingdom - 8.0
Beautiful grounds and beach.
Beautiful grounds and beach. Fresh, clean and well decorated and appointed room. Ocean view is spectacular. We didn’t use them although the resort has 3 pools and several outdoor fire pits. Shore birds galore. Soothing sound of the surf from our patio. Warm fireplace in the room added to its appeal. Kitchen went unused although it is well appointed including glasses, tableware, and utensils. Kitchen table seats four.Guest review byRobert - 10.0

The Santa Cruz vibe is real: diverse (happy) people, terrific beaches, lots of eateries, beach boardwalk and arcade fun. Walking around the boardwalk area feels safe, if crowded, on weekends. There is definitely a broad range of fun activities for families.Guest review byMarianUnited States - 8.0
Drab and musty. Needs better decor.
Drab and musty. Needs better decor. Uncomfortable small bed and couches. Excellent location with view of ocean and ocean sights and sounds but overlooking a crappy roof first. No cookware, dishes or utensils in kitchen. Brown fake leather couches, cheap old pictures on the walls of Mediterranean?? Beige paint, dark brown carpet brown tables and more brown. Tiny shower. Spacious.Guest review byRachelUnited States - 10.0
I liked Aptos.
I liked Aptos. There are some good restaurants and the people when I went to town were observing the correct protocol . The Swallow is a great dinner restaurant. When I return I'll be looking for a great place to stay...Guest review byAlida
