Hotel was not clean. For a hotel that was charging what it was charging, I would expect the room to be clean.

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

Pet friendly and the room was very clean however some of the furnishings were in poor condition. Desk chair was broken. Also there was no night stand on one side of the bed. Staff was very friendly and did offer to find another chair

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.

Family trip.
We had a quick family trip. Stayed two nights. The room spelled like mold. Couldn’t find where the smell was coming from. Finally I saw it was on a lamp shade. The bed was hard and the pillows were lumpy. The lobby was very clean. The elevator not so clean. Overall wont be staying here again.

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.

The furniture is awkward and outdated. Some areas are sticky to the touch. My room didn’t have a table or office chair. It had this large armchair close to the night stand instead. Breakfast had sausage and eggs though!
