Hotel is perfectly located halfway between Monterey and Santa Cruz. Rooms were clean and comfortable with a very good free breakfast. Staff was helpful and friendly. This was our second stay at this hotel.

“Always pleasant”

Reviewed April 10, 2013

Have stayed here several times on business and have always found the staff pleasant and the experience consistent. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are quiet and on my most recent stay I got upgraded to a jacuzzi king suite so I could watch TV while soaking in the tub - fantastic! Free wifi and free breakfast are a bonus... More

“Great Place, Near Everything!”

Reviewed April 4, 2013

By far the place to stay if you are in Watsonville! The location is great. Close to great food, shopping, and other stuff. The Mexican restaurant across the street was highly recommended and was excellent. Easy access to Hwy 1, and shopping is close by. The hotel was extremely clean, well-maintained, and the staff was super friendly. I would highly... More

“Clean, Modern, and Comfortable”

Reviewed March 7, 2013

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express- Watsonville for work and was able to bring my wife and son along on this particular trip. While the hotel certainly isn't a HIlton nor should it be compared to one, they did meet and exceed my expectations for a 3 star hotel. The breakfast was filling and above average compared to other... More

Dear Pieperjm, I am so pleased to hear that your wife and son were able to join you on this trip, and that you enjoyed our breakfast! Watsonville does have many great restaurants, although most are not national recognized chains. I hope that you were able to find and enjoy one of our many locally owned restaurants. We look forward... More

“Good place to stay”

Reviewed January 28, 2013

This place is off the highway, so if you want peace & quiet, this is it. Good choices for breakfast included and the rooms are clean & well maintained. After seeing some of the other choices in Watsonville I was very glad we chose this.

My wife and I stayed here once before about a year ago. We loved it, and we were happy to find that they have maintained their quality hotel. I cannot say much for the city of Watsonville except that it is centrally located. If you plan on seeing the coast from Santa Cruz to Monterey - or even as far... More

Reviewed November 11, 2012

There is not a lot of choice in this town, but the Holiday Inn Express is clean and friendly. Rooms are mini-suites and there is free Internet. The breakfast includes eggs, sausage, and other items--not bad. The staff is friendly. And the price is right. We were there for a three day business meeting off site and it was fine... More

This is a good hotel, no surprises, real nice indoor pool and hot tub. Just spent 4 days there. While it is a little farther from Santa Cruz than we would have liked, it is close to a lot of things.
