"Great place to stay when in Watsonville, thank you so much!"

9.0

Very clean and comfortable! No frills but quiet and comfortable. The owner was very nice. I will happily stay here again when I’m in Watsonville. All the other hotels had terrible ratings and I’m glad I chose this one.

There is a fan in the bathroom that runs constantly (you can’t shut it off) but it was more like white noise and didn’t disturb me. The only thing I’d ask for is an extra blanket and change the horrible olive green coverlets - they make the room look way worse than the clean and comfortable place it is.

Pan is very nice and easy to work with.

I'm not aware of anything the crew did not like.

"Cozy, clean and convenient place to stay while visiting the Bay area."

8.0

The room, though small, was very accommodating to my needs. When there was any problem with the TV, or such, the manager/owner, Pan, was very helpful. I felt very quiet and safe there. It worked out well for me while visiting my family & friends near by.

The towels/linens need to be updated. It would be nice to have better toilet paper.
