Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed one night during a holiday weekend. Staff was very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I had expected this property to look and feel run down than it actually, but it's a beautifully maintained property with nice clean rooms. We were pleasantly surprised. We would definitely consider staying here again. We liked the little pool area and that out room had a balcony. Great value for the price."

Monarch Valley Inn Marina at Monterey Bay

8/10 Good

"Pretty simple clean place right next to a gas station so seems a little odd but they do a really good job keeping it clean from homeless and very presentable"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Morgan Hill-San Jose South

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. Helpful staff found 2 rooms nearby each other for our family."

La Bahia Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Velvet parking was terrible; I gave the card to one of the short guys, and he asked me to check out, and I said yes. It took 30 minutes before we got our car; people came after us, and they had already left. I texted them before we left the room, but it didn't make any difference. Finally, an Asian guy in a blue uniform came up to us and asked for our last name, and he was very helpful."

Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Overall we enjoyed our stay but we weren’t happy with the fact that our room was hardly cleaned once (or half) during our 3 nights stay. Only one bed out of the two was done, weird. Besides that the heated pool was lovely and clean. Pool service was good, food and drink were also very good. The lobby and bar design was beautiful. I would stay there again but maybe get a day pass only."

Seaside Inn & Suites

"Clean room"
