Always pick this hotel when I'm staying in Santa Cruz. The staff are friendly and the rooms are spacious and clean. It's a 10 minute walk into downtown for all your shopping and restaurant needs.

Price per night from:$89

The hotel is generally very good, clean and smells good, but sometimes there are some strange people near the hotel, probably because of the city, and the internet speed is quite satisfactory. Not very fast

We had a really nice time at the resort. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the food and service at the restaurant is excellent. The beds are very comfy and the resort is very quiet. My only critical feedback is that despite some new construction on the rooms, there were no large lights in the closet, we literally had to use our phone flashlights to see anything, the bathrooms are really small and are only equipped with minimal towels, and it’s a bit difficult and awkward to request a room refresh and clean towels.

Great location, very close to the sea. Shopping is convenient, and it is a good location with culture and scenery. Looking forward to having the opportunity to stay again in the future. The Chinese food downstairs is good... There are homeless people nearby, so be careful with children

Comfort Inn Boardwalk

Its location is excellent, just a few minutes walk to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the air conditioner was so noisy, it kept running for the whole night and kept generating unpleasant noise during our sleep. Also, the microwave was not functioning properly, it couldn’t be used after just a few minutes of microwaving food (which we think it failed due to overheating), and we had to wait for more than 10 minutes before it could be used again. We had to move the microwave from the shelf under the TV to another locaton so that it can be cooled down faster.

The front desk staff are very proactive, kind, and extremely responsive. Their customer service is outstanding. They went above and beyond to help me enjoy my stay. The hotel amenities are exactly what I was looking for. It’s a nice place to stay with the family because of updated kitchen and cleanliness.
