Santa Cruz is a fuuuuuun place. The Comfort Inn, where I stayed, is close to the boardwalk so you can easily walk there. I had a great time: The weather was great, the room was nice and the Catalyst, where I saw three really great bands, was a good venue. I had a blast.

Liked: Friendly people; clean rooms; perfect for the night!
Disliked: Hmmm...nothing was bad. The room seemed a little cramped, but I was the only one there, so it was cozy.

Overall, the location was great and the room was decent for the price.

Liked: The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable.

Liked: The pillows and mattress were extremely comfortable. The hotel staff was very friendly. The grounds were well kept. I would definitely stay there again.

Nice experience.

Liked: Breakfast was satisfactory. Location was great; walking distance to Boardwalk and downtown. The people at the front desk were very welcoming. Having a fridge in the room is a must and a plus!
Disliked: We shared a room with kids. The bathroom layout was not good for multi-occupants. The sink was in the room and the toilet and shower were behind the door. The room does not have a smart TV; bring a Roku or Firestick. Bring slippers.

Pleasant

Great value and one of...

Liked: The location of this property was amazing, and most importantly, it was great value. I have stayed in a Comfort Inn before, and they are a no thrills as you get what you pay for. I will say that these are always clean and have everything you need for a nice, relaxing stay. I can't fault this property in any way that would say don't stay here.
Disliked: The breakfast area was quite small and didn't have a variety of cooked foods, mainly cereal, toast and fruit.

Very poor

Great stay, enjoyed our time!

Liked: Great location, a short walk to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Great breakfast including waffles, yogurt, coffee. Safe surrounding area for walking. Clean facilities, polite staff. Pool on site. Would be happy to stay there again.
Disliked: The pool was small; don't plan on swimming laps. Outside the hotel's control was a sidewalk en route to the beach under construction that pushed pedestrians into traffic. Parking spots are small.

Bad

Disliked: Not very clean, thin walls you can hear everything

Very good
