This motel was surprisingly nice for the price. It is well cared for, very clean, and the manager is very friendly. I definitely would recommend it over more expensive options.

If it fits your budget, then it's worthwhile.
It should be renamed the "Compact Inn" because literally everything about it from the parking lot and parking spaces out back, to the teeny-tiny pool, to the room... it's all squished into very compact spaces.
The room was clean, everything worked and we slept well, but there's not very much walking room, especially if you've got more than 2-3 people.
Parking. If you arrive late for check-in, you're most likely getting a crap parking spot and could find yourself double stacked or in the tiny (very compact as well; tight turn), sketchy alley out back. You can walk just about anywhere, so park and remain parked there until you depart.
The office was supposed to open and be ready for breakfast at 7am, but it was not (and many places in SC close early and open later).
Again, If it fits your budget, then it's worthwhile. Unless it's a romantic trip, then choose wisely.

It's small Inn. Parking is terrible.
Only reason for stay because of walk distance to Boardwalk.
4.0
Nice comfy hotel with free breakfast and walking distance to the boardwalk. Small breakfast area and small pool but the location makes it all worth it. Parking can be tuff because of the small lot but not having to pay for parking at the boardwalk is worth it by far!

The staff was very freindly. The rooms were clean and beds were clean and comfortable.
Our room at The Wharf Inn in San Francisco did not have a microwave which we had planned for with our meals. And the outside was not clean like our rooms.
The Confort Inn in Santa Cruz was very clean inside and out. And the breakfast was great, waffles, eggs, sausage, toast, and more...
Both hotels have very freindly service people.

Very convenient to the boardwalk. Our first room had the tv go out so we were moved to a new room. Room 103 is fairly comfortable and clean but no absolutely insulation between wall with a connecting door. Man next door loudly singing and loud tv.

I met a very nice & friendly staf when checkin, room was clean and comfort.
5.0
I booked this hotel because it was an affordable option for our UCSC tour and its proximity to both the campus and the beach. I didn't have expectations, other than a safe hotel and a comfortable, clean room.
This hotel exceeded my expectations with an attentive manager happy to meet any of our needs at any time, a very comfortable room, a good complimentary breakfast, and a quick and easy check in/out. The manager asked me with genuine curiosity upon check out if I could help with constructive feedback about our stay and/or anything to improve. I couldn't think of anything.
This hotel is a little gem - affordable, a perfect location, solid amenities, and a quiet, very clean, comfortable place to stay in Santa Cruz. If my daughter chooses this city for college, I anticipate staying here every time I visit her.

The room was clean and appeared updated. The bed was very old and creaky, it needs to be replaced.

Very happy with our stay, very convenient only a couple of blocks from the Boardwalk and walking distance to restaurants. The office lady was very friendly and helped us to check in a little earlier, and offered to help with anything that we might need.
Claudia the housekeeper was amazing, always with a smile, friendly, offering if we need anything, fulfilled our requests, she was superb. Thank you Claudia.
The room was very clean and had everything we needed.

One side of the window would not close but we were on the second floor so that was ok. Front door and bathroom door warped and stuck. 1 wash cloth for 4 people but only after asking. Beds and pillows were comfortabke.

The Comfort Inn is truly a beach motel. The room was clean except for the bathtub (disgusting and unworkable). The parking was terrible, especially if you have a SUV. The walking location to the Boardwalk is ideal, which is probably why they charge what they do. Not worth the $204/night that I paid, though.
3.0
Nice location, 5 minute walk to boardwalk, 15 minute walk to some god restaurants. Nice rooms, nice breakfast provided, good water pressure. Parking is not ideal for trucks especially a mega cab but it worked out.
5.0
Great breakfast. Only thing I didn’t like was how small the parking lot was. Staff very friendly and clean rooms Super close walk to Boardwalk. I’d stay there again.

We were able to check in early, the receptionist was very friendly and got us checked in quickly. The hotel, room and lobby, were clean and the bedding was multi-layered and cozy. Grey little breakfast and easy checkout process. Will return.

You can’t beat the location of this property with an easy walk to the boardwalk that’s why you are paying the big bucks! Place is old and it’s definitely showing it! Bed are comfy but my husband got a bunch of bedbugs bites from the bed he slept on!, yikes!
5.0
I liked staying here, it was in a good location and they even had a pretty good breakfast with a nice variety of things. The room was clean and comfy, the only thing I would say is the shower curtain was cloth so it would get wet and a lot of water would end up in the floor because it was a little small for the shower. I would definitely stay here again!
4.0
Nice to have a microwave and fridge in room. The included breakfast was appreciated.
2.0
NO COMFORT at comfort Inn !! The only one good reason to stay is a 5 minute walk to the beach/ boardwalk. This place is old, which I understand. If your ok with old carpet, no plug for bathtub (super disappointing after walking the boardwalk all day). When you flush the toilet it’s super loud like a bomb went off! The king bed was way too soft & felt like you were sinking. The pool is deceiving, VERY small ( like the size of a hottub) and on the main road so loud and no privacy. Can be loud at night due to being on a main road. Also there is no safe in the room…air conditioner was old and barely worked. This place needs TLC
3.0
Room was quite small for 2 queen beds. Property as a whole just showing its age around the edges. Beds not particularly comfortable. But, kudos for even offering eggs and sausage for breakfast.

The hotel had an old smell, walls paper thin. There was a couple who were fighting all night off and on and started up again in the morning and we could hear it all. People parting in the parking lot, Not sure I’d come back at least not with my kids. This could have been one of those weekends.
