Fair - 2.5 out of 5

Bad, would not stay again,...

Disliked: Found a earwig in the coffee machine, also the pillows were really disgusting, we had to cover them with our jackets.

Basic but very clean, met...

Liked: The room has been recently updated and it was overall very clean. This is a basic no frills motel but meets your needs if you just need a bed and shower for the night, when travelling. Good value when everything else was really over inflated d/t the 1/2 marathon being on nearby.

Great place to stay when...

Liked: 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.
Disliked: 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.

Cozy, clean and convenient place...

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