Top Potbelly Beach Hotel Reviews

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We had the Garden facing room which was wonderful. Great to sit on the patio and look at the greens cape. The room was quiet and comfortable."

Chaminade Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. A bit small but that’s ok. Attentive staff easy check in and out. Only issue was A/C did not work. Room was at 73-75 during our stay"

Monarch Cove Inn

8/10 Good

"What a lovely spot on the edge of the ocean. The property needs some updating. Rusty fixtures in the bathroom and peeling paint on the exterior. Otherwise very charming."

Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"The beds didn’t give me a backache. The staff was very polite. Plenty of parking."

Capitola Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It's cozy and comfortable. I wish the parking is marked for the hotel so we didn't have to park at the paid parking."

Capitola Venetian Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"The Venetia could not have a better location. Right on the beach, a 2 minute walk to restaurants, shops and coffee. Iconic design and so much history. The units are old obviously but well maintained. We had a main bedroom, tiny private bedroom with a twin and a double in the living area. small kitchen if you prefer to have a cooking option. We chose an ocean view, and could see and hear the ocean over the front building (privately owned units). Night volleyball and beach strolls, a foot wash before entering. The bathroom was tiny and four of us had to take turns but again it is an old historic property. You are definitely paying for location and view over interior. I would stay again."

"My family and I had a comfortable stay in this house, which was conveniently located near the beach. However, the narrow streets in the neighborhood made it challenging to maneuver a large vehicle. Despite this, the house met all the advertised features, and we had a pleasant experience."
