Good Quality

Our third stay at this Quality Inn. Love the location! Near the freeway and Capitola Village. Bare bones but comfortable room. Waffle breakfast was decent. Pool area is nice but chairs are not too comfortable. Drawback is very loud AC in the room. It woke me up often and rattled while on. Traffic from freeway is loud if you are in the higher level rooms. The price is good for this property. Good value for the price.

Convenient to what we wanted in Capitola with out the cramped parking and noise of downtown. We are mobile but elderly and were able to walk down to the beach area for an early dinner and back.

Rooms were nice, however there isn't an elevator to the second floor. If you don't want to take your luggage up a flight of stairs, you should ask for a room on the first floor.
