Modern and clean rooms at a good price point. We took advantage of the free breakfast. Would definitely return.
Only complaint was location (off a one way street), which required us to loop around a residential area to access the hotel.

Great Location
Room was ready when we arrived and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Breakfast in the am was just what we needed to get the day started. Location is great as it is close to the FWY and far enough away from the beach to avoid all the traffic. The pool and Jacuzzi were a nice bonus to have. Would very much recommend staying here.

Very, very clean. Water pressure in and temperature in the shower was great. The room service, ie towels , amenities , bed, were excellent. No elevator to second story , but the gentleman at the front desk offered to take it up for me. Parking lot was a bit noisy at times , but by bed time quieted down. Location was good for my purposes.

Basic but clean and pleasant
The rooms are no frills and could use some updating, but they are clean, and the staff is very pleasant. The beds were fairly comfortable. You can only get into the entrance going one direction but that is not a big concern. We didn't stay for the breakfast since it was almost all carbs. We went to Zachary's which was fantastic.

sorted
went to the wrong comfort inn and was met with a woman whose broken English was very hard to understand and was reluctant to give directions to the other comfort inn.When I finally get to the right place they seem to be short on cleaning staff so I was made to wait for an unreasonable amount of time.I was finally given a different room and from then everything was ok.

This hotel is a great choice for your trip and overnight stay! The rooms are spacious and have everything you need for a comfortable stay here. The hotel has a heated pool... a pleasant surprise! The hotel is located close to the main attractions of Santa Cruz! And most importantly, the hotel offered a great price for service!
