Comfort Inn, hotel in Santa Cruz

The Comfort Inn Santa Cruz is conveniently located where Highway 1 and Highway 17 meet. Free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Off-season prices are pretty decent everywhere in Santa Cruz but the Comfort Inn included a heated pool, hot tub, continental breakfast also an incredible staff and top-notch cleanliness, it was so impressive. When you stay somewhere like a Comfort Inn, budget matters and this trip felt so doable because the prices were so fair. In all honesty a little better than fair when you add up things like the heated pool, hot-tub and breakfast.
