Top The Hook Hotel Reviews

Capitola Venetian Vacation Rentals

10/10 Excellent

"The pots and pans are not included in the property but can be rented if needed. We were surprised to see they had paper towels, dish soap, sponge and salt and pepper for use. The place was spacious enough for us and the location cannot be beat! Literally a few steps to the beach, made it easy to go out as many times as we wanted. We will definitely be back!"

Ocean Echo Inn and Beach Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice room and beautiful ocean view."

Capitola Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A quaint hotel right smack dab in the middle of town…the free taxi to Shadowbrook was a plus! We walked everywhere which we appreciated as we enjoy a cocktail every now and then."

Monarch Cove Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location and charming setting. Very, very nice management and reception. The old Victorian house hase been renovated a few years ago but is maintaining a good level of refinement. Some of the rooms that look over the Ocean are just amazing! Do not expect too much from breakfast: coffee, a bagel, and some chopped fruit."
