Watsonville Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds Hotels

"Breakfast could be upgraded a bit. Noticed that elevator in lobby needed to have inspection updated."

"The place was loud, messy, had an uncomfortable bed, the bathroom smelled like pee and there was no microwave or mini frig in the room."

"Tío much many"

"Breakfast featured many different options, including hot choices. Fresh cookies in lobby were a plus! Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Do not stay at this place. This is more of a rooming house for work teams than a normal hotel for tourists or travelers. Working guys need a place like this I get it, but you should know this going in. I travel a lot and use this price range of $100 or a bit more per night. I paid over $500 for 5 nights at this place. We arrived late and tired so we stayed one night. The lot was full of trucks, we couldn't park near our door. Upon first opening the door the blast of bleach type disinfectant was overwhelming. The window didn't allow opening for air. We left the door open for a while but we were ready to sleep so we turned on the AC and tried to get the fan working, nothing worked. We had hoped for the fan to drown out the parking lot noise and provide fresh air. The refrigerator was close to my pillow and it rattled all night long. The beds were rock hard and we both woke up achy from the bed and with sore throats from breathing the strong odor all night. We looked under the sheets and found stained dirty mattresses. Before daylight the trucks all fired up and idled and left in mass. The working guys all left for maybe the same job at the same time. We gave up after a sleepless night and went to make some coffee. No coffee maker! That was the last straw. When daylight came I went to the office and said we would not be staying the next 4 nights. He didn't seem surprised or ask why, he said no refunds. The Royal Inn is not for tourists, sleep or normal basic comfort. Beware."

"The area is okay and the hotel is clean. The food options are okay but the staff is professional and helpful."

"I feel that this resort had lost its charm. I had high expectations that were very quickly diminished. I expected the pools to be nicer and more kid friendly. It felt like a budget hotel which didn't match the price."

"We had a good time and my wife loved the furniture and all your books."

"It's centrally located to a variety of places to eat and shop, and close to HWY1. If you want to live out of your suitcase. The 3 drawers they have for you are the size of a desk drawer, and the small one is. If you do not watch TV, you are in luck. Only cable channels work. The cheap ones nothing major or movies. The picture is misleading. It shows better than what it is. I hope you are not taller than 5',4". Because you need to bend down to see your head in the bathroom mirror."
