Marea Sol Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time at this hotel, the place is conveniently across the street from the SC Beach boardwalk, arcades, sandy beach volleyball play area, many wharf restaurants just a half block away and very close to other extended beach towns, like Capitola. The pool area is small and could've been a bit warmer, but it was adequate for enjoyable swimming of the younger toddlers. The beds were very comfortable, and the property and room cleanliness was exceptional! We enjoyed the in and out parking privileges and enjoyed Roaring Camp train ride only 15 minutes away. One area of improvement would be to offer a bit more food options from the Cafe. We will visit again."
