    We had lived there for years and were back visiting family and friends. Traffic is terrible in the mornings till 10am heading to Santa Cruz, and pretty bad around Watsonville also. They do have a nice walking trail available not far from the hotel.

    Strawberry farming town 35 minutes from Santa Cruz.

    Strawberry farming town 35 minutes from Santa Cruz. We found the beach called Manresa, it was just 13 minutes from the motel. Capitola is a cute little town with small stores and the beach not too far from it. In Watsonville we loved eating at the Strawberry patch cafe and seating at the back outside patio. Another great breakfast place is Yesy’s. We recommend the Korean Restaurant in the city of Marina a few miles away.

    I was there for a family event but would have enjoyed staying longer and getting to know the town better and the history of this town. I also would have taken more time to see all the agriculture that takes place in Watsonville and perhaps visited some of the farms and purchased fresh produce.

    Watsonville us full of tourest activity's, it's safe for family's however it's a cross between the twin city's and chicago area but under supervision of the WPD concidering they have nothing else to supervise tourest are priority and safety comes first . according to them. The downside is this town is completely fast pase and if you don't keep up it will pass you by.

    Used the wrong materials for the remodel a few years ago.

    Used the wrong materials for the remodel a few years ago. Laminate flooring in baths are warping. De laminated furniture in every room ive stayed in. Denatured alcohol will remove black scratches from floors. I see your maintenance people and its my opinion that watsonville needs to. Step up with a better quality maintenance. Get some plants in big pots in the breezeway where elevator and stairs are. It looks so sterile in that area. Hire an artist to paint a mural on some areas.change those nasty mats in front of all room's.

    I was born there and Watsonville is centered between Monterey and Santa Cruz so there are so many sites to see. Watsonville is very much an Agriculture city and seeing the Ag fields is pretty cool. Watsonville is the strawberry capitol of the world and ALL the fruits and vegetables are fresh

    The lady at the desk was very friendly unlike what other reviews said. She was polite. I will say, this is not a 5 star motel. So the reviews complaining either didn't know or are just hateful. The place is outdated. It doesn't have brand new towels or appliances. Our sink was cracked but.....it is what it is. I thought it was a decent cheap motel. The bed was comfy enough, tv had cable, fridge worked, hot water, and easy check in/out. Life is too short to complain about everything. I'd stay there again.

    This is my FAVORITE Watsonville, CA hotel and I've stayed in them all. The couple that run this hotel are professional, kind, and keep the premises spotless. The bed linens are quality and pristine as are the sinks, bathroom/shower and carpets. I always try and stay here first if there are rooms available. I highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in the Watsonville or Santa Cruz/coastal area.

    The living/sleep space was very clean. Wasn't planning on eating breakfast while staying but decided to one day, find out breakfast was great. To me the taste were just right, the egg wasn't over salt like many other hotel I have stay. Great muffin, sausage patty. The destinations between were we planning to visit was just right, not too far, freeway not to busy.

    Great value for a quiet clean room. The gentleman that runs the hotel is always polite and professional along with the younger man that works with him. I'm guessing a family run business which gives this hotel personal care and attention. I noticed they have security late at night around the hotel and I felt safe here, slept well.

    Nothing. It was a horrible experience all around. I received 3 email confirmations with our reservation and welcoming us to the hotel. When we got there to check in they said they didn't have our reservation and no rooms were available. We were there for a gymnastics meet for my daughter and booked 3 months in advance! Unbelievable.

    The hotel is new, clean and well maintained. The room was confortable, and the beds were perfect. The pool and the fitness center were relatively small, but there was nobody when we used them. The breakfast was good, and staff is taking care during the whole morning. We recommend this hotel for a stopover on the highway 1.

    Clean rooms. Friendly staff. We used this hotel as a starting point for a southward trip down highway one and the location was great. The provided self laundry facilities were high capacity and fast (washed and dried a small suitcase of clothes in just over an hour)
