Let me start of by say the people some of who I have talked to are nice but not all. It start off on check in they don't take cash I don't understood that what so ever. On top of that their ac don't work I mean I called maintenance twice he was short with me while on phone with someone Elsa about something completely unreadable and didn't do anything just say that's how it is deal with it I even ask just for fan nothing front desk is no help the whole stay it was hot in the room The only and I mean this the only nice part was the breakfast they had a decent breakfast I'm not say 5-stars but it was nice This is not what I like to do but if a place is this bad and rude I believe it should be said so other have a chance to be aware My dogs were travel with me this time and the amount of attitude I got from that alone was disturbing

You know, somewhat modern furniture. The obligatory one wall that's painted a different color. A small desk, fridge, tiny microwave, etc. I was treated to a full bathtub with shower curtain. The standard complementary soaps and hair care products with a dash of towels that felt like sandpaper. Okay so for the good: The room was clean, i didn't really go looking but visually there wasn't a reason to. Just about every light fixture has an outlet to plug in something. There is a small reading light by the bed which is a nice touch. The internet was password protected. It's just a minutes drive from a few food spots and other amenities. The bad: When taking a shower i couldn't get the water past warm and it struggled to maintain a constant temperature. The walls are PAPER thin, i was able to hear phone calls that were in the adjacent rooms like the people were sitting next to me. The road is incredibly busy durring the morning commute. So either wait an eternity for an opening or take the scenic route. In conclusion: is the hotel a destination spot or even a place to get away for a night, imo well no. But they do offer a warm bed in a clean room. So if your in watsonville is definently one of your choices. Giving it 3 * because it was neither great nor bad just rather meh.

The rooms were ok as far as security. There was a decent gap in our door to the hallway.

Abruptly he advised us to call the 3rd party to find out what was going on, which we did. After contacting 3rd party and explaining the situation, we right away felt the difference in professionalism communication and compassion. The 3rd party Rep. put us on hold a few times while they communicated with Robert, which we didn't mind at all. Once coming to a resolution, we were advised to check in with Robert...he proceeded to state we were being charged for 6 rooms by the 3rd party (which was a complete lie) but he was going to contact the 3rd party to "fix" the problem. Nice try Robert to claim yourself as the "hero". Never staying there again.

Update: I spoke with Rosey, the manager and she was very nice and apologetic. She said she is…read morepretty new there and was "cleaning up shop." She gave us half off of the amount we paid back to us. She says that they have someone coming to take care of the cockroach problem and she is aware of the ongoing probles with this place. I wish I could give more stars because she was very nice but I literally couldn't sleep all night because it was so bad (they were completely booked and had no other room to move us and nowhere nearby had any rooms available so we had no other option). I definitely would never stay here again but hopefully Rosey can get this place in working order. She has the customer service part down! Thanks for the help Rosey. It's Labor Day weekend and we decided to book a last min trip here. This was the only room under $400 a night. It ended up being $240 for the night. Since it's only one night we figured we would just take a chance because the reviews were horrible. BIG mistake. When we walked in the main light did not work. Then I went to take a shower and there is black mold all over the bathroom walls and ceiling (pic taken) I then go to put my stuff away and there is a dead cockroach on the ground. Absolutely disgusting (pic taken). It's already so late and I'm exhausted and I'm my pjs so I am not walking all the way to the office. I then go to lay down and there is green discharge looking stuff on the pillow (pic taken) Im so grossed out. Never again!!!! I'm so paranoid that I will wake up to cockroaches everywhere. I cannot sleep. Seriously, $240 for this disgusting room? What a sick joke.

The grounds are beautiful, whether you just look out from the stately house, or if you wander on some of the trails -- maybe set for a spell on a bench. If you're looking to exhale and then breathe in amazing nature, you have found the place! The room is very comfortable, too. Our bathroom was plenty big and roomy. Loved the big bath (whirlpool, if you like). The 'full breakfast' is fantastic. Jen is a wonderful baker (a breakfast bread pudding one day; mini churros another day), and each morning we had a varied and hearty breakfast that was delicious and well-balanced. The house itself is big and inviting with hip old timey jazz pipedor more modern-day chanteuses gently piped in. Enclosed porch for reading or just relaxing. Our room had a private porch, too. So much here. So many ways to really unwind. Walking around the grounds is inspiring. I ran into Derek a time or two who was relaxed but busy on the many projects that keep him focused here. The whole place looks perfect for a wedding, or a family gathering, or even a business get-away. Or, of course, just a simple, lowkey retreat. Lovely hidden (but easy to find) gem. Can't wait to return.

Review of shorebird 55 (Let me begin by saying that this review was submitted to At the Dunes…read morerental agency but never posted on their site.) Pros: *excellent beach access * lovely ocean view Cons: *furniture, towels, sheets in generally rundown condition *master bedroom has 1 bedside table and 1 lamp. I ended bringing in a small corroded outdoor iron table and moving a lamp from the second bedroom. * one floor lamp in the entire living room. Generally poor lighting. *Peeling paint in bathroom *mold in bathroom corners *uncomfortable living room furniture-outdoor wicker, way past it's comfort usage. No support. *unwashed sheets in second bedroom, unwashed towel in master bath. ( the rental agency was very responsive about this) In this time of Covid, these discoveries made our stay uncomfortable. Was this place really sanitized before our arrival? My point here is that a rental at the beach, for $400+/ night, should be comfortable in all aspects. This was not. For a total of $1800 for four nights, I would have expected much more.

Is this someone's negected bequest? Pajaro Dunes Shorebirds #115 review (through VRBO)…read more We love Pajaro Dunes and have fond memories of our friends' lovely condo. This one in comparison--meh! Would definitely not stay there again. The property was clean enough but not stocked with minimal kitchen staples (like flour, cooking oil, aluminum foil). With VRBO you expect better. The patio furniture was so torn, cracked and ripped, our adult daughter had a huge blood blister after sitting on a green plastic chair. (See photos) This is not acceptable. Nor is the master bathroom door where you had to close the door completely in order to use the toilet. It was so cramped--and I'm only 5'1. Do not stay here if you are used to comfort, cooking, or a patio where you can sit out and see the sky. For $2000 for three nights, we expected a lot more than Shorebird #115.
