It's a good clean place to stay at a good price it's n lot fancy. At all. But if you need a CV place to crash or you want some time with your sig other but don't best all the folks it's a great place. The people who checked me in were great. The make was very nice and accomodating the female was a little more suspicious and overworked a little wanting to know why i needed a room there when i line in watsonville ??? Like i need sc reason but im sure they have that share of issues with guests there and i didn't mind the questions

There is nothing but to like add long as you sit and r expect anything more t darn what to get are selling you a basic. Clean adorable room. You not getting break at your not getting a memory foam mattress no m you not even getting furnishings that match. Its just a room. .

You get what you pay for. It's not the fanciest or most lavish of places. It's an ok area, people are friendly, rooms are comfortable and the host accommodates at all hours. I've stayed here multiple times with a family of 8. There's a 7/11 across the street, Little Caesars, taco trucks and boardwalk is a 10min. Walk/2min. Drive. The price isn't bad when you're trying to accommodate a big family.

Room was clean but smelled like smoke when I had ordered a non smoke.

The smell of rooms and staff attitude. The lady was in a bad mood the whole time. The cards for the room kept resetting 3 times.

The location was not bad we had 7 eleven across from us which was perfect since am pregnant & get hungry in the middle of the night… The guy that helped us was really nice he changed our room from upstairs to down stairs since am pregnant & it was hard for me to go up the stairs thank you for that

The bed was a lot uncomfortable & the refrigerator didn’t work also we saw roaches in our room which we didn’t like
