The refrigerator in our room was so nosy all night. The mattresses so stiff and the comforters looked so dirty and worn out. To top it off, no house keeper available the entire stay.

This place is wonderful. My family was on a road trip for spring break and this was a perfect stop. The proximity to the boardwalk is even closer than i realized when i booked it, but still it was quiet and felt safe. I slept very, very well. Room was clean and cute. The staff were very kind and really patient with me. I'm hard of hearing and have to ask people to repeat themselves a lot which is awkward but they didn't seem to mind. I made a mistake with my booking and they graciously helped me fix it. The breakfast was fantastic! I was very grateful for coffee and so many options. The waffle maker was a hit with my kids We loved Santa Cruz and will be back to stay here!

The managers/owners(?) are welcoming and accommodating. The property is not new but they keep it clean and maintained. The continental breakfast is pretty expanded even with waffles! We have stayed here twice and plan to request this hotel in the future.

This was a fantastic location. The staff was nice and the morning breakfast options were good. Only flaw for us was the window had shutters and no curtains so with the outside hall lights our room didn’t get very dark at night. Not a deal breaker for us. It still was pretty reasonable. We Would love to stay here again.

Everything was clean, customer service was great, the only thing comfort inn holds a $100 deposit on your debit card which I did not know until I checked in. I went thru Expedia maybe that's why I wasn't informed up front. But everything was good.
