The friendly staff provided excellent service, making check-in a breeze. The hot breakfast, especially the fluffy pancakes, was a standout, and the fruit salad added a refreshing touch. Unfortunately, the experience was marred by issues with the water. I encountered no hot water during my stay and later found no water at all, necessitating a trip to a gas station for basic needs. Additionally, the unpleasant odor from an air freshener in the lobby detracted from the otherwise clean and comfortable environment.

My stay here was decent, but not without some hiccups. While I enjoyed the clean, quiet room and the hot breakfast with tasty pancakes, I couldn't shake off concerns like the off-putting air freshener aroma and a staff member's unhelpful demeanor. The parking situation was tight too, especially with several trucks taking up space. Worth a night, but not ideal.

I enjoyed my stay and had a nice view from the third floor. The staff was welcoming and friendly, which made a difference. Starting the day with breakfast helped me recharge for my outings. I appreciate having a microwave and a refrigerator in the room for convenience. Being from Italy, I value that comfort during travels.

I wished for better breakfast management, as some items ran out quickly. Additionally, the computer for guest use lacked a working keyboard, which made it hard to print my boarding pass.

The warm indoor pool was a hit with the kids! Our room was clean and had a fresh scent. Plus, the location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions.

The Holiday Inn Express offered a clean, comfortable stay with a well-equipped room featuring a fridge and microwave. The heating in the pool was a perfect addition for unwinding after long workdays. Breakfast included a broad selection, and the staff were attentive and accommodating throughout my stay.

Cozy stay with nice views

We stayed for 3 nights and had a pretty good experience. The staff was super friendly, and the room was clean. Breakfast was solid with hot options. Great to have a fridge and microwave in the suite! The view of the slough from the 3rd floor was lovely. Just wish the mattress was a bit firmer.

i had a fantastic stay at this hotel! having been here years ago, i was pleasantly surprised by how everything exceeded my expectations this time. the room was spacious, clean, and came with a fridge and microwave, making it very convenient for my group visit.

shower water was lukewarm at best.

Just an excellent fit for a whistle-stop in Watsonville with outstanding value. The front desk staff was great and welcoming. If you're looking for a quiet place off the road, this is it.

great stay but need to rethink the air freshener

The breakfast selection was impressive, with fluffy pancakes that I couldn’t get enough of. The cleanliness of the room was commendable, making for a pleasant atmosphere.

The aroma of the air freshener was overwhelming and detracted from my overall comfort.

The rooms were clean and beautifully decorated, with easy access for seniors, making it a comfortable stay. I especially loved the indoor pool area, which was inviting and perfect for a relaxing dip after a long day.

More seating in breakfast area would be nice.
