Comfort Inn Santa Cruz North

Comfort Inn Santa Cruz North

8/10 Good
"The rooms were clean but parking spots were small. For size reference, a Toyota Camry can barely make it in the spot while giving room to exit out the vehicle and avoiding door things. The place is 10 min from the Santa Cruz boardwalk which was convenient and 15 min to Capitola. Staffs were accommodating and the free breakfast was good. Overall great stay for a weekend getaway."
