The pool and hot tub are clean and warm. The rooms are spotlessly clean, lots of little extras (microwave, fridge, sofa, well decorated, extra toiletries, iron, hair dryer, makeup mirror, curved shower rod, lots of pillows, road map, stationery, doorbell for room, vending machines with a few healthy options, recycling can in room, etc.) Good value for this price range....

Tucked away in unpretentious Watsonville, this motel has charming rooms and comfortable beds. The bathroom has decorative tiles with Mexican flair. Friendly staff and good enough breakfast. Good internet connection. Much more than we were expecting for the price.

This hotel was surprising upon drive up with the small parking lot, but the rooms were very well presented, well decorated. The pool and spa looked nice though I didn't partake. The breakfast could have been better but was definitely adequate. It was close to the ocean, less than 5 miles from Sunset Beach, which was stunning. I would be... More

The hotel itself wasn't bad. Seemed clean and well maintained. The complimentary breakfast was pretty good, including make it yourself waffles, but the dining area was small and cramped. It's near a busy street, so some street noise. Staff was friendly and helpful. Price wasn't too bad considering the area. It's worth the 10 minute drive to pay a little... More

Positive: Clean Rooms Pool heated but small Microwave and fridge in room Breakfast, good with lots of options Negatives: Parking lot - very tight No towels near the pool locations, need to drive to restaurants and shops For the price, I think you could find a better location that is closer to the beaches and restaurants.
