Fairfield Inn & Suites Santa Cruz - Capitola

In Capitola, a short drive from Capitola Beach and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. This new all-suite, family-friendly hotel sits near Hooper Beach, Capitola Wharf and Pleasure Point Park, with Monterey Bay on the horizon. Nearest airports include Watsonville (WVI), Monterey Peninsula (MRY) and San Jose (SJC).

Eighty-four air-conditioned suites feature refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, separate living areas and work desks. Upgraded suites add whirlpool tubs, fireplaces and dual-head showers. The décor nods to the sea with local artwork — including a striking jellyfish chandelier — and a rooftop patio with a fireplace for relaxed evenings.

Enjoy a heated outdoor pool, spa and a 24-hour fitness center. Other highlights include a bocce court, lobby fireplace, gift shop/newsstand and free self parking. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach days just down the road.

Complimentary high-speed wired and wireless internet, a 24-hour business center and express check-out. Flexible event and meeting space of about 159 square meters (roughly 1,766 sq ft) makes this a smart pick for small conferences and meetings.

Start each day with a complimentary expanded continental breakfast, served indoors or on the rooftop patio. On-site snack bar/deli and a full-service bar/lounge keep things simple and social. Fresh local seafood and Mexican spots are also a short walk away for night-time cravings.
