    My daughter (18) and I stayed there for a quick get away. Clean, quiet, and kind staff. Parking was free and easy. It made for a stress free visit.

    Loved how it was within walking distance to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely recommend staying here and we will absolutely stay here again!!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    We loved everything about this place, we have stayed here a couple times and each time is relaxing. The private outdoor area was perfect, as was the overall property. The double headed shower and breakfast brought to the room were the best parts. The parking can be a little difficult and the lighting outside for the jet baths is very minimal.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Absolutely the nicest place to stay in Capitola with the best staff.

    We loved this place!

    We stayed in the Railroad Baron room for our Anniversary. It was very comfortable and loved the fireplace and deep soak tub. The staff is very friendly and attentive. I called the front desk after hours because our lighter wasn’t working to light the fireplace. They called within a few minutes to get us a new one. Wonderful big breakfast served in our room and wine and cheese at 4. Quick walk down to the beach and shops and restaurants. Loved it!

    The room smelled like mold and the property owner told us there was water damage in the room which confirmed the mold smell. It made me sick, no way to regulate the heat. It was super cold, they told us we have 2 comforters to keep us warm. The people in the room above us were super noisy. Over priced for the room we stayed in, furniture not comfortable. Parking was terrible.

    This is the only place to stay in Santa Cruz or Capitola area. It was created from the original railroad station in Capitola. Each room is exquisite and unique. Sauger the general manager & his team are amazing. Fresh cook breakfast every morning either delivered to your room or seated in the lovely family room with Fireplace. Well appointed. The rooms she like home.

    Bed was too soft.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Wonderful rooms! Quiet. Romantic.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    We enjoyed our stay at the Inn. It is charming and is in a good location in Capitola. It’s very quiet and peaceful, which we appreciated. We loved the personalized breakfast that is served to every guest and the thoughtful details, including fresh baked cookies. We liked meeting the owner and were happy to support a local business vs. a chain. The only place they missed the mark is that there was no soap in the bathroom and the shower pressure was weak and the temperature was tepid. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Loved the soaking tub, skylights and super comfy bed. Everything was great!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    What a charming property and delight place to spend time in beautiful Capitola! Loved it!

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Location: Good combination of quiet, residential location and a short walking distance to the beach and shops. Inn facilities, breakfast service and staff better than expected. The room we had was large and comfortable; fireplace was a plus but wished the outdoor tub worked as advertised. Tub needed cleaning and jets were non-functional. Overall, minus the tub, a pleasant one night stay.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    We loved our weekend stay here! We had an amazing time and would come back again. Perfect bed and breakfast stay.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The room is clean. Bottles of shampoo & body wash in the shower are empty. Water is low & hot water was so high. Fireplace not working.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Toilet paper was horrible. Husband went and bought his own. Asked for tea every morning and received coffee only.

    The location 4 min walking distance from Downtown. We parked our vehicle at the hotel and walked downtown. N/A
