Worth it !
We loved the spaciousness of our room . It had a cute little fireplace and sofa area. It made our stay feel more homey. We enjoyed the breakfast and the pool area too . It was great to have parking and central to where we wanted to be . Only small feedback I could give is I would have preferred blackout curtains instead of the plantation shutters . These looked very cute but I like my room pitch black.

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!

Quick 1 night. Full motor lodge vibe, but great staff, and hit all the upgrade buttons: coffee in room, good toiletries, make up mirror. Free cappuccino machine and cookies in lobby. HEAVY continental breakfast included.
