Great location - walked to Capitola Beach one day and Pleasure Point the next. Nice breakfast with hot food and waffles and more with option to sit inside or out on patio. Hot tub and pool that were perfect temperatures. Nice sized room with sitting room/small living room with tv. Everything in great condition. Sold out and ran out of parking but let us park one car in circle drive right out front which is typically just parking for check in.

Loved It!

Great property. Gated/secure underground parking. A little hard to check in because of limited space at entrance but one will manage. Staff were great. Bed comfortable, spacious room with couch, 2nd TV & balcony area. Would definitely stay here again. No complaints. Great job to the staff & Fairfield Inn at this location.

Getaway Trip

Beautiful getaway trip with the family.Kids went swimming at night, nice size pool and hot tub. The room accommodated our family of 5 perfectly. Breakfast buffet was great, locals were friendly.We explored Capitola the first night then Santa Cruz the next day. This was the perfect area to unwind feom the daily stress of life and renew yourself with a new perspective.
