The shower was lukewarm at best. There were no towels in the room when we checked in. Everything about the hotel was old, dirty and tired. Poor maintenance. I tried to call them about something I thought I had forgotten in the room and there was a busy signal forever. Fortunately I found the item, but there is no excuse for leaving the phone off the hook

Really? No towels!?

The hotel was reasonably priced for a weekend where all other hotels where charging outrageous prices because of local events (which I was not attending). So that in itself was an appreciated! BUT ... Something that's never happened to me at a hotel, EVER... Is that the hotel was out of TOWELS! Yes, you heard that correctly, they were out of towels! Checked into my room after an 8-hour drive wanting a shower looked around the room there were zero towels no bath towels no hand towels no washcloths nothing. Called the front desk they said they'd bring us something in 10 minutes after 30 minutes waiting went down to the front desk asked them for some towels and they said "we are out of towels"... and all they could say was sorry. Unbelievable! After going back and forth with them about when we could possibly get some towels (maybe around 9am the next morning!) my husband asked, you don't even have any washcloths or hand towels? ... And they said they did and gave us some hand towels. They didn't offer him up we had to ask, which was weird. Anyhow my advice would be that maybe someone working there could have gone to Walmart and picked up a couple dozen towels or something when they realized that the booked rooms has no towels. They said they were losing business and couldn't sell all the rooms because they didn't have any towels, it's just strange that a hotel wouldn't have enough towels for every room in the establishment! Other than that the stay was fine.

You get what you pay for

I'll start with something positive. The beds are comfortable and I liked the choice of pillows. The rooms are fairly clean. There was dried soap residue in the soap dish attached to the shower, I scraped some off with my nail. That's just to give you an idea that it was far from meticulous. The management is very nice and they offered to change my room when I pointed out some issues. The phone did not work to call the front desk during my last TWO visits. When I complained at the front desk, they sent a repairman up to connect the phone properly. Every time I flushed the toilet, it made a VERY loud high pitched noise. It was too much trouble to pack and change rooms, so I didn't flush often. I think one problem is that the previous people using the rooms don't report these issues, so they are not corrected for the next guest. That's giving the management the benefit of the doubt. This hotel is probably as good as some others with similar ratings, but less expensive because it's on the outskirts of Watsonville.

Staff was very effortless, my family and I were staying just one night ( two different rooms ) from out of town on a family vacation. The rooms were very spacious but the staff was very inconsiderate. We had no towels upon our arrival, asked for towels a few different times while given the answer of “we don’t have any” at the price we paid towels would have been nice

Never again

First they put us in a room that wasn’t cleaned, had no fridge, microwave or coffee pot. We asked to move rooms. Then that room had no towels so we asked for some n they were stained. Then there was no hot water to shower. Plus the bathroom light went out so we couldn’t see to use the bathroom. The showers were gross. At least the beds appeared to be clean.

Dirty Hotel

I do NOT recommend this hotel, spend the extra $25-50 for a four-star hotel. This hotel is very dirty inside and out, the outside is not kept up, inside hotel area and room are dirty, the shower water head was not working just two streams of water coming out, the tub was old and dirty make sure you pack your flip-flaps. Bed was lumpy, There were broken vehicles parked outside and people hanging around with their vehicles that didn't belong there, I did not feel safe there. One light lamp did not work, and one person down the hallway had his music very loud. I will never stay there again. I will pay the extra money for a better stay.
