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.

free parking was good. The beds were very comfortable. The coffee machine, fridge and microwave were useful. Although the hotel cannot be responsible for other guests but we were pleasantly surprised at how quiet the hotel was at night. We had a room towards the rear but near the pool and slept uninterrupted. The room was serviced and cleaned, towels changed and coffee restocked every day.

Inn at Depot Hill, hotel in Capitola

*Adults Only* Just 10 minutes’ walk from Capitola Beach and Wharf, this luxurious B&B offers an evening wine reception complete with appetizers. A full breakfast is served daily.

The breakfast was absolutely horrible . We had pancakes one morning and waffles the next . No options. Both times they were served with sausages and a small fruit cup; consisting of grapes, cantaloupe and honeydew. Only the grapes were fresh.The welcoming food is wine and cubed cheese, totally underwhelming. There were grapes and olives and 2 bottles of wine. Nothing was replenished; that was for everybody. Breakfast is not served until eight at the earliest. If you are in a group larger than 2, you will not all eat at the same time. This is because the kitchen is so tiny that they can't prepare all the food at the same time. The pancakes were served with melted whipped cream and absolutely no flavor. The waffles were mushy with no flavor.

    Great location, helpful staff, good breakfast (we had a voucher to spend each morning, this didn't cover the total bill but if we'd of opted for a bagel and coffee each it would of). The kids loved the pool. Laundry was a bonus! Nice and quiet at night in our room. I was worried after seeing some of the reviews, but we had a wonderful stay. Yes, you pay for parking, but we factored that into our budget. Try Pizza of my heart and penny ice creamery!
