Top Esplanade Park Beach Hotel Reviews

Inn at Depot Hill

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed at the Inn At Depot Hill on many occasions and have never been disappointed. Beautifully managed and maintained. I really love this place it feels like home. They could not be more gracious and wonderful. The rooms are spotless meticulously cleaned. They go out of their way they serve a beautiful breakfast breakfast either in the common dining room room or in your room. Just cannot say enough nice things about this beautiful place."

Capitola Village Bungalow - 2 Blocks from the Sand

10/10 Excellent

"You can’t beat the location! It has great access to all the shops and beach and the parking permit allows you to park and walk during your stay. The layout is definitely funky but the description was accurate and exactly as we expected. We were three people for two nights so it served us very well. More than four would be a tight squeeze. The shower stalls are very tight as well so important to keep this in mind if you need extra room. The hosts were communicative and check-in/check-out procedures were very helpful. We truly enjoyed ourselves and would rent again if our travels bring us back to Capitola!"

Monarch Cove Inn

8/10 Good

"The property is gorgeous. Butterflies gathered in the morning and the view of the ocean from the outdoor patio was beautiful. The room itself was very clean and had antique furniture. The stairway up, bathroom tile & fixtures were quite worn down. Our particular room also did not have window screens. Breakfast was great and convenient for our family. Check in/check out was efficient."

Capitola Village Hideaway Bungalow - Pet friendly!

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, very close to the beach and shops… parking was a challenge as we had to drive around for a while to get a spot. We had 3 people and a small dog, loved the fact there was a tv in living room and bedroom… so pretty quiet overall but when the people leaving upstairs it sounds like a hundred people were coming in and out… but overall I would definitely stay here again… the price breakdown was the people who run it charge more than the people who own it… still was a good deal for where it is"

Capitola Seaside Studio

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The place was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Even with its fantastic location, it was surprisingly quiet at night, making it easy to unwind and get a great night's sleep.One of our favorite parts was enjoying coffee on the porch each morning while watching the surfers. It was fun to see the camaraderie among everyone—from seasoned surfers to kids just starting out. It felt like such a welcoming community and was the perfect way to begin each day.The location couldn't have been better, with the beach, restaurants, and shops all just a short walk away. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, convenient place to enjoy everything Capitola has to offer."
