We had lived there for years and were back visiting family and friends. Traffic is terrible in the mornings till 10am heading to Santa Cruz, and pretty bad around Watsonville also. They do have a nice walking trail available not far from the hotel.

Strawberry farming town 35 minutes from Santa Cruz.
Strawberry farming town 35 minutes from Santa Cruz. We found the beach called Manresa, it was just 13 minutes from the motel. Capitola is a cute little town with small stores and the beach not too far from it. In Watsonville we loved eating at the Strawberry patch cafe and seating at the back outside patio. Another great breakfast place is Yesy’s. We recommend the Korean Restaurant in the city of Marina a few miles away.

I was there for a family event but would have enjoyed staying longer and getting to know the town better and the history of this town. I also would have taken more time to see all the agriculture that takes place in Watsonville and perhaps visited some of the farms and purchased fresh produce.

Watsonville us full of tourest activity's, it's safe for family's however it's a cross between the twin city's and chicago area but under supervision of the WPD concidering they have nothing else to supervise tourest are priority and safety comes first . according to them. The downside is this town is completely fast pase and if you don't keep up it will pass you by.

Used the wrong materials for the remodel a few years ago.
Used the wrong materials for the remodel a few years ago. Laminate flooring in baths are warping. De laminated furniture in every room ive stayed in. Denatured alcohol will remove black scratches from floors. I see your maintenance people and its my opinion that watsonville needs to. Step up with a better quality maintenance. Get some plants in big pots in the breezeway where elevator and stairs are. It looks so sterile in that area. Hire an artist to paint a mural on some areas.change those nasty mats in front of all room's.MichaelUnited States of America - 8.0Scored 8.0

I was born there and Watsonville is centered between Monterey and Santa Cruz so there are so many sites to see. Watsonville is very much an Agriculture city and seeing the Ag fields is pretty cool. Watsonville is the strawberry capitol of the world and ALL the fruits and vegetables are fresh

- From $131.34 per night6.1Scored 6.1PleasantRated pleasant· 473 reviewsI liked nothing. They took my $ but canceled the room when I showed up in person due to a misunderstanding. The clerk thought I was attempting to do something weird. He wanted me to have a form of ID I lacked. He canceled the room and would not refund my $. I called your customer service and had the operator inform the clerk that he was to refund my fee but the kid refused. He told me it was my problem and that he didn't have to do a thing. I still have not received $. The app is usually great but this hotel is shady and rude.chadwickUnited States of America
- From $109.55 per night5.6Scored 5.6Above averageRated okay· 153 reviewsThe lady at the desk was very friendly unlike what other reviews said. She was polite. I will say, this is not a 5 star motel. So the reviews complaining either didn't know or are just hateful. The place is outdated. It doesn't have brand new towels or appliances. Our sink was cracked but.....it is what it is. I thought it was a decent cheap motel. The bed was comfy enough, tv had cable, fridge worked, hot water, and easy check in/out. Life is too short to complain about everything. I'd stay there again.Roxanne LaxsonUnited States of America
- From $159.82 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 431 reviewsMy husband and I stay at Hamptons fairly often, so there wasn’t much of a surprise in our stay at Watsonville. I was happy with their attention detail in health and safety for their staff and guests. Hampton has a standard breakfast buffet, so if you like knowing what you’re going to get for breakfast in the morning, that’s a plus. The room was quiet, which after cleanliness, is what I value most in a hotel.
MariaCanada - From $129.56 per night5.7Scored 5.7Above averageRated okay· 40 reviewsThey didn’t have breakfast because they said they didn’t have enough business. I think we were the only people there. It shouldn’t be called a Comfort Inn. The gentleman who checked us in was very nice. False advertising by the corporation for this particular. Comfort Inn. I think the couple managing have been sent to purgatory.juliannUnited States of America
- From $159.82 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 431 reviewsThe hotel is new, clean and well maintained. The room was confortable, and the beds were perfect. The pool and the fitness center were relatively small, but there was nobody when we used them. The breakfast was good, and staff is taking care during the whole morning. We recommend this hotel for a stopover on the highway 1.
