Hotel B5 Watsonville, CA - Monterey Area

Hotel B5 Watsonville, CA - Monterey Area

10/10 Excellent
"This is an old Motel 6 that has been repurposed and serves a variety of clientele, all of whom kept quiet and respectful hours. Overall, it was nice one-night stay and the people running the place were keeping it clean. We needed to do laundry in the middle of our vacation, and the hotel laundry facilities were operational and we got quarters at the front desk with no problem. Added bonus: 3 state beaches were within a 20 minute drive, so we got there in plenty of time for a beautiful sunset walk."

"Great location, ten minute walk to wharf and beach boardwalk. Competitively priced, very basic but comfortable hotel rooms. Nice pool with two jacuzzi hot tubs, lounge chairs, tables with umbrellas. Self parking on site, breakfast cafe and deli across the street, with taco bar a block away. We enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood and found everything we needed close by."
