The Inn at Depot Hill - one of Capitola's luxury Inns near many Depot Hil homes

In 1990, the original structure was purchased, turned 90 degrees, and completely refurbished and opened as The Inn at Depot Hill, an upscale bed-and-breakfast inn.
Great effort was made to maintain its historical character, and the décor of each of the 12 rooms harkens back to a time when travel by rail was an exclusive and luxurious experience.
