It was a very good hotel service wise, but the bed aren’t the best, they are really hard and they don’t provide any shampoo/conditioner also no ice machine or coffee maker. But other than that it was a nice stay.

Overall not a bad room. Did the job. Could use some updating but if you are looking for a decent bed and shower with no frills, this will work.

Bathroom was extremely worn and dirty. Toilet seat was very old and worn. Hair was found all over the sink, bathroom and a few of the towels. Room lacked a table so I had to use the ironing board as a work table. Wifi barely worked most of the time.

I like the parking it was right next to my door. The room was nice and clean towels could be a little bit cleaner, but I took my own then I have no problem with that.

It’s the cheapest hotel in Watsonville but bed is too firm, no coffee in the room or office and no ice. The staff were nice and it’s a convenient location but just not comfortable

The room was clean and the bathroom countertop was large, would recommend if you need a lot of space to get ready/put some makeup on. The cost of stay can't be beat for the area, I would stay here again if I was in town. Manager was also kind and helpful!
