Comfort Inn Beach/Boardwalk Area

Good choice for a short stay This is a typical Comfort Inn, but updated, very nicely decorated and clean. Just a block or two from the famous boardwalk and nearby to a convenience store. The neighborhood seemed a little rough, but it was safe and close to the wharf. Recommend for a short stay.

Not the best, not the worst. Location is great (very close to the boardwalk). Parking is very tight. Staff is good. Breakfast is good, but the room is small. Rooms are very clean. Would not recommend this hotel for an extended stay. But the location is great--only a 1 or 2 minute walk to the boardwalk.

no security The hotel is in a rough neighborhood and there is no security. Homeless people in the parking lot. External stairways and room doors are open to the public. We refused to stay here and they charged us 2 nights due to cancellation policy. Do not stay here.

Stay Anywhere but Here I booked a series of rooms for my family. Though we got some rooms a little before normal check in because we had an event to go to we had to wait for the others after. The people Working there seemed to only tolerate the guests and did not seem to communicate well with us or their own staff. The parking is horrendous! Getting in and out is tight and they kept telling different guests different things. They have “double parking” spaces but double booked cars in them. This caused much confusion and chaos. The rooms are fine, some updates, particularly in the bathroom. The beds were good and they have full cable. It is not a quiet place but with proximity to Boardwalk is what many probably find appealing. We had just checked out of one of the rooms and forgot the food in the fridge. When we went back in they had already thrown it away. The staff were extremely rude and the price for the hotel was way way too much. Not worth what was being offered. The breakfast ran out of items quickly and staff did not seem to care about replenishing. Would not recommend this hotel, especially when there are so many others to choose from.

Noisy stay with a quick walk to the Boardwalk The best part about this hotel is the location. The worst was the noise. It was noisy - both outside of the hotel and then all of the noise from the plumbing and mechanics inside the hotel. The room was clean. The management/owner was always available. I did try to cut our stay short but he refused to credit me the last night. I understand why and didn't try to argue with him but it was a bummer. We had no trouble parking and ate a perfectly passable breakfast one morning. I may need to spend more time in Santa Cruz in the future and will look for a different place to stay. The savings wasn't impressive enough to balance out the interrupted sleep from all the noise.
