My family and i stayed at the Venetian Court Apartments when Capitola was known as Capitola by the Sea. We went there every summer in August. We loved staying at the Venetian Court. Our friends, the Messinis owned it then. It is so convenient to the beach! Just a few steps away. It wasn't fancy but had everything you needed.... More

First of all let me say the staff is wonderful, I arrived late and my significant other did not give me the room number, and the office was closed, I was there, but about to sleep on the beach, an employee just happened to be on the premises and helped me out-Thank you! The rooms are quaint, the buildings are... More

We have been to the Venetian many times, and have always enjoyed our stay. This is not a 5 star hotel, but a travel back in history, to a quaint spot. The room has a small kitchen and a comfortable bed (our room has a captain's bed) with an extremely small bath. It has a small balcony, which does look... More

We have seen this classic hotel for years but have never actually stayed here.As I st here now looking out the single pane aluminum window, circa 1955' the full moon rises over Monterey Bay, absolutely beautiful, fun, and totally California. At first glance the beautiful period piece "motel style" accommodation looks quirky, artsy, and is the centerpiece of any photograph... More

Just returned from what was suppose to be a two night stay with my kids into a one night stay. This place is sleazy, sparsely furnished, dark, and disgusting. DO NOT BELIEVE THE PHOTOS ON THEIR WEBSITE as they are night and day from what you will find. When I first walked into the room my mouth dropped. I couldn't... More

My fiance and I were going down for a nice relaxing weekend. The hotel looked really nice from the outside, so I was excited. Once they finally gave us our room keys I was in shock. This was the dirtiest and grungiest looking hotel I have EVER seen (and let me tell you I travel a LOT. so this is... More

We loved that this was not your average hotel. We could hear the ocean from our room and it was perfect to start out our CA adventure. The bed was comfortable. It had a kitchen so this would have been perfect for a longer stay. Thanks for everything!

The poor reviews compel me to write a in defense of this hotel. I have stayed at this property several times over the past ten years and have been fairly satisfied. I even have my favorite room, which I wont share with you! Traveling with young children does take planning. It is stressful constantly shushing young children who are just... More

My wife and me stayed here mid-March. the guy at the front desk gave us a awesome special! We got a nice 2 bdrm with a view.. yeah you have to look over a few roof tops, but big deal.. You can still hear and see the ocean, from your room you can watch the sunset over the ocean, The... More
