Terrible stay. There were many men just around the property on their phones. There was very loud music till very late. The room was very dirty. I felt like I was going to fall through the floor in the bathroom. There was black mold on the bathroom wall. I felt very unsafe at this property!

The facility was okay, but the room really lacks. There wasn't a dresser or anything to put luggage or anything else on. The mattress was uncomfortable. The room didn't have any coffee maker. There was no ice machine on the property. The room was clean, but i wasn't impressed.

Every time on a business trip I go to Watsonville I stay at this place. Not once have I seen any cockroaches or bugs. They have a microwave and a refrigerator that worked great. Housekeeping is awesome. They come every day if you want and they keep the rooms really clean I would recommend this 100% because I stay there for four weeks at a time.

Room 101 is lacking tlc. The toilet is fricken loose at the floor I told the manager he said his repair guys would be in later. and when I was using it toilet he opens the the door and I yelled stay the F out!! He came in and supposedly tightened the anchor bolts but he didn’t. The smell of wet shower floors throughout the room. Besides being on the street corner room bed was good. The rooms in the back where I stayed in before was great
