The breakfast was great compared to other hotels, which don't have protein/hot food . Staff were respectful and always made sure breakfast was full. Very good location, close to both Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz mountains and monterey. one thing that needs a fixing is the hole in the shower and the black having a black stain that was hidden in the bottom of the bed. Would be a lot nicer if a pool facility was added

Disliked: Amenities
Bad experience, house keeping came to clean the room and left the door open all day, anyone can walk into the room, didn’t feel safe afterwards. Elevator not working, phone on my room wasn’t connected to report the issue, spoke to the Manager and he try to resolve the situation, offered 10% back, and re-training his crew.

There was a notice in the lobby to say that the fire sprinklers were not operable and I noticed the elevator inspection was eight months expired. Aside from the safety concerns the hotel was very unclean. It was just a depressing place to be.

Good service but rundown overwll

The folks who work here are very nice. Our initial room smelled very strongly like cigarettes and they quickly moved us to a suite. The mattresses don’t have liners and just have a fitted sheet on top, making it easy to see stains on them. The curtains had mysterious stains (soda probably) and in general it all looks a little old. The floors were clean, the counters were as well, but it is generally just a little run down looking. Breakfast isn’t much either. Again though, the folks who work here were super helpful and friendly.

Nice budget option near WVI airport

This is a great deal in an area where reasonably priced hotels are hard to find. Super convenient to Watsonville WVI airport, short walk to decent food (Chinese, Mexican, pizza, Starbucks) groceries, and amenities. Great location for pilots/air travelers using WVI and needing a basic layover (me). Not fancy for sure, and it’s a little worn, but clean, fairly quiet, hosts are friendly, and the price is right.
