Inn at Depot Hill

After reading some of the reviews, I was a little worried about the breakfast, hot water, happy hour food, and parking. But after staying there, I think those complaints are way off. We stayed there two nights, and breakfast both mornings was great. The menu is posted the night before, so people can choose to walk 2 minutes into town and buy breakfast if food like a tomato and cheese egg scramble and pancakes are unacceptable. Some people just like to complain. Our room was perfect - well maintained and very relaxing. The fireplace and 2-person shower (we didn't have any hot water issues!) made it extra special. The location can't be beat! We went to dinner at the Shadowbrook restaurant and called for one of their vintage taxis, so we never needed to move our car from the hotel parking lot. I highly recommend walking along the beach from New Brighton Beach to Rio Del Mar and getting a pizza from Venus Pie Trap. A weekend of great memories!

Everything!! We absolutely LOVED our stay. In fact, we booked another room later in the week. It’s such a quaint and unique hotel. All the rooms are a different theme and are beautiful. Check in was super easy! They had wine, cheese and fresh baked cookies in the lobby at happy hour and fresh cooked breakfast that you could enjoy in your room, in the dining area or the patio. We stayed in the Railroad Baron room. It was beautiful and spacious with the deepest bathtub I’ve ever seen. The bed was super comfy. The location is absolutely perfect. Just a short walk to capitola village. The manager and all staff we interacted with were so warm and welcoming.

Breafasts of Cinnamon french toast and Eggs Bennedict were superb. The staff was EXTREMELY FRIENDLY AND HELPFULL. I did not realize the Inn was so historic - old train depot and one of the first structures in town. LOVELY VICTORIAN feel. I stayed in two different rooms and the larger, more modern and more expensive one held less charm for me but had ALL the touches of a chic modern hotel complete with flat screen fire piece under the TV, and a small patio. Did not love the drunk partiers in town for the Warf to Warf run litterally stumbling in late, but that is my bad for not realizing the run was that weekend. Peggy and Sager took EXCELLENT care of me and Sager's puppy brightented my day. The gronds have a small decorative pool, lovely vegetation and outdoor furniture and the living room has old world charm. It made it tough to choose to hang out in the Inn or go to the beach!

Very cozy and private and so close to downtown and the ocean! Beautiful

It is a beautiful location. Our suite was very nice.
