Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea
The front desk agent was very nice. The room was amazing! I felt like royalty when I entered the room. It was beautiful. Very clean! We weren't able to stay for breakfast because we had to leave very early. The next time I'm in town, I will definitely stay here again.
