"Called to ask about a pet free room on top floor. When I arrived for check in I was told there were no pet free rooms at this hotel. The lobby and my room smelled like air freshener covering up dog urine smell. Apparently there is no extra charge for pets here? The front parking lot has a Starbucks and mini mart with loud trucks driving through most of the night. When I asked about moving to a back of the building room I was told there were no rooms available there. The hotel was about 25% full. They grouped the few guests into the same area, I had loud guests on both sides of the paper thin walls and constant hallway noise, doors slamming. After already being sleep deprived the fire alarm went off at 6 am due to someone burning toast at the breakfast. The front desk did not take it seriously and shrugged it off saying it happened all the time. The firemen that came to the hotel did not look happy. Also be aware this hotel does not have nearly enough parking. There are lots of empty spaces in the front and back but are all marked "EV parking only". The large trucks with trailers are parked sideways blocking most of the available parking in the back lot. The man I spoke with parking Uhaul truck and trailer in the back lot was not even staying at this hotel. I drove out of there after two nights completely exhausted."

"Although a newer hotel with breakfast, and close enough proximity between town and Sunset Beach, a Starbucks, and morning breakfast, we will not be going back. I'm not typically this critical, but we visit there once or twice a year, and I need the short break to recoup from all day family gatherings. The sheets were scratchy and uncomfortable. The comforters are frilly- maybe for some good practical reason- but also uncomfortable. Noise from the room above was ok one night, but not the next when it was busier. (Toddler running back and forth?? Dog? After 10:30pm? Not sure.) Breakfast was ok, maybe better than other hotels, but not when the hotel is more full. The front parking is bizarrely mostly dedicated to EVs, rather than handicap spaces. We couldn't get in from the back or sides after 10, which meant dragging a special needs child from the back or side in the cold late at night returning from our family member's house. It ended up being a bummer. Biggest pros, besides breakfast: The pool was small, but still fun for our kid, so that was a perk. The gym is also very good with everything you could think of- you don't even need to bring your mat. If you pass out easily and need a good gym, without a disabled person in your group, you'll be fine. Also, there's a little shop with all kinds of snacks- probably really great if you arrive late or have teens!"

"Nice rooms, free breakfast. Location was good for what we were there for but it was in an industrial area/farm area. Sidewalks only extended to the corner of the street then the cross street had none and not enough room to walk and be safe with all the traffic."

"Likely to be the best local hotel option if you are staying in the Watsonville area. Clean, new, and updated looking interiors. Good Breakfast bar, comfortable bed and room. Ridiculous 'energy saving' room controls where things turn on when you don't intend for them to do so and turn off when you don't expect them to do so. (Lights will shut off when you're in the commode or shower.) I recommend to get a room with an odd number. These rooms face the west which is the quietest side of the tower. If you get a room with an even number you will be on the east side of the tower which gets a lot of noise from the endless cars and trucks milling thru the adjacent ARCO gas station 24/7. Good luck getting a solid night sleep on the east side rooms. All of the exterior ambient noise passes right thru the wall mounted AC unit. Room service was non responsive when we requested extra towels. We found some ourselves in the pool and fitness center areas. Poor lady working the Breakfast bar could barely keep up with the heard of customers pouring over the Breakfast area. Hat's off to her for her hard work. We'll be back, but can only tolerate a room on the west side due to the noisy exterior environment."
