Americas Best Value Inn

Almost to the Coast.

Watsonville CA, sits on Hwy 129 between the 101 and the Pacific Coast Hwy (PCH). It’s close enough to take advantage of the Pacific Sea Breeze during the hot summers although the fog can be a problem for the early morning commuters. This America’s Best Value Inn (ABVI) was more expensive than what I’m used to especially, since this one, although nice, is not as upgraded as the other ABVIs. For example, the tube-type TV’s as compared to the flat-screens that are the norm nowadays. And, the location itself isn’t quite on the coast as lodging of similar prices. The room itself was as professionally maintained as I’m used to with the ABVI chain. As for the price I may move down the road a bit for my next stayover.

From the outside this hotel seems clean, the lobby is clean and the man behind the counter was nice. At a glance the room also seemed clean, it had a bit of a funky smell, but after removing the "sanitized" wrap from the toilet I was met with someone elses fecal matter on the toilet seat, and of course we had checked in very late so there was no one to come clean it, then when I was about to get into the shower I noticed several pieces of hair all over the walls and bottom of the shower. I would only recommend staying here if ALL other hotels are booked and you are faced with sleeping in your car, however choosing your car might be a more sanitary choice!
