Loud neighbors. After hours staff was quick to address it after complaining. Walls are thin so noise is unavoidable. Bugs flying around in bathroom. Outdated appliances and rundown furniture.

Front desk staff not customer service at all! Booked a full kitchen unit advertised as 2 queen and 2 double for 8. Had 2 queens and a broken down pull out sofa. Kitchen had NO cooking pans or utensils. Asked office if rhey had silverware for the kitchen and ahe said we can rent them for $50. Bought plastic at the corner market for $2.89. Location and.room otherwise nice. Need to let customers know they need to bring everything for the kitchen

The initial impression was, it was okay. Parking: it was tricky where to park, you have to go and call them once you’re there to lift the boom barrier. Staff: the front desk was real nice. She’s at the very front with the really tiny office. Cleaners are available only upon request. Room: there was an initial smell when you first go in and maybe you get used to it you don’t really smell after a while. It is not a bad, bad smell, more of the building having been flooded as well as being old. Having a kitchen was great. They have stove, coffee maker, toaster, microwave. Bring your own cooking pans if you plan to cook. No plates but coffee mugs and cups are available. Restroom was small but functional. Convenience: Close to the beach, close to the restaurants. We loved walking around and going back to the TINY HOUSE as we called it. We didn’t care for a perfect room just because we stayed out most of the time and only really came in to rest and sleep. IT’s GOOD if you don’t care so much about having too fancy of rooms.

The location was nice as it was beachfront access in Capitola Village. The room was not quite as described, lacked in proper bedding for the number of people it could sleep. There is a kitchen, but did not provide any kitchen pots, pans or dishware without an additional charge. They also also charge for additional parking $20.00 a night for each vehicle. This would be quite expensive extra charge for multiple groups. There are only 2 rooms. Listing makes it look like you have 4 rooms.
