Guest Reviews
- Jesus (10/5): - Great place, easy to find!
- ERNESTO (2/5): - I understand we're talking about two stars, but in 2025, you can't even imagine offering a service like this. The level of cleanliness is nonexistent; as soon as you enter the room, the stench of urine is overwhelming! Rust, limescale, and mold in the bathroom, cobwebs everywhere, and even boogers on the bathroom door. Not to mention the bed and nightstands, pieces of history, old, dirty, and noisy. And who could forget the refrigerator, noisier than a freight train!
- Ann (8/5): - Great job with the renovations! The air conditioning unit was awkward to use
- mike (8/5): - Parking is tough ok for small vehicles. Quiet Clean
- Violetta (8/5): - I will stay again
- Suzana (2/5): - The room was unfortunately dirty, I always look at the bedsheets and mattress to make sure there are no bedbugs. The mattress was filthy and stained, right behind was a condom wrapper, the toilet seat was broken. I complained and was given a different room with no improvement. We didn’t stay the weekend as planned, and booked a room at another motel. Since I didn’t stay, I requested a refund for the second night. There was with some hesitation that they would return the money. As of today, I don’t see it reflected on my account, but it is still the weekend so I’ll check during the week. Don’t book here, I didn’t do my due diligence and research the reviews, but I see that I am not the only person with this experience. I’m surprised the Expedia even has it listed on their sight.
- rose (4/5): - Beds had stains. And so did comforter. Old room as well
- Alexandre (10/5): - Nice and quiet. A lot space at room
- Rene (10/5): - I enjoyed my stay at the only inconvenience was not being able to connect to the WiFi and need to go over there we page and remove where it says laundry room available. There's no available laundry room said the front desk. Other than that it was clean, safe, quiet and everything was walking distance. 👍
- Martin (10/5): - We usually stay here for work and we love that they clean the room daily during our stay.
- Holly (8/5): - Check in was easy, very close to a few restaurants & grocery store w/in 3min drive
- KRISTIN (10/5): - Nice, quiet and clean little motel, with generous sized rooms. Easy parking. Roses outside our window. Convenient location, easy to find, and friendly owners.
- Owen (4/5): - This property has potential but is not up to standards. Facility is old and needs major updating. We rented 3 rooms all were in similar co dition. TV's in 2 rooms did not work. There is no ice and no working vending machines the mgr did give ice he had. There is no seals on the bottom of the doors so easy access for insects, etc. The stairway to top floor is very narrow. There was nothing to hang clothes on or to place luggage we just laid ours on the floor. There was a microwave and refrigerator and hairdryer. The hotel location could demand higher rates but at this time much improvement is required. Mgr advised he has recently acquired the property had plans to make improvements.
- Paul (4/5): - This could be a very nice place. It is broken down. There was no furniture in my room on the desk. They could do a lot better with simple things, but they choose to be the low cost provider. They low cost motel slept with the lights on so come out.
- Marco (2/5): - The fridge had a lot of moho , the rack for towels on the restroom were terribly rusty, the rust went to towels. Nasty place. The worst I ever been
- Marge A. (8/5): - Price was good 👍 Room was spacious bed was comfortable. It had a microwave and small refrigerator but no coffee maker. Bathroom was clean. Parking was good. Staff were friendly.
- Debra (8/5): - The property was clean and well kept, although very dated.
- Kayla (6/5): - 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.
- Ed (6/5): - 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.
- Eric (4/5): - 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.
- Anna (6/5): - 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.
- Hussein (2/5): - small room, there is nothing to do, just sleep
- Wilfredo (10/5): - Friendly staff, walking distance to restaurants and stores.
- James (4/5): - Could be kindly described as a bit grim... Urgently needs refurbishment.
- Sariah (8/5): Good quiet room - We had a quick and friendly check in. The room was spacious. Bed was comfortable. The shower was super slippery. I needed somewhere to sleep and it was perfect.
- Tou (8/5): - Older property but it was fairly quiet considering we were by 4 way traffic light. Its one of those budget vs luxury decisions.
- Abel (10/5): - Clean and the roses.
- Thomas (8/5): - Nice room NO COFFEE- for a hogrl
Charging me $116 this was a disappointment
- Alyssa (10/5): - the staff were very kind and welcoming. room was clean and came with all of the necessities. great for the price
- carolyn (6/5): - 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
- Stephen (8/5): - 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!
- Hope (8/5): - it was a nice place
- Michael (10/5): - New owner does his best to update the property very friendly and attentive
- Nadia Evelina (2/5): - 1)The designated parking space for our unit was used by someone else on the first night. Fortunately we were able to park still close to our unit. 2) There was never room service. Trash and used towels were never changed. Nevermind the bathroom door not working. Besides this, meh... regular motel. Found some hairs on the "clean sheets".
- Elizabeth (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful
