It could be cheaper for how basic the accommodations are tbh. It's a place to stay... clean enough for the most part though some of the furniture had obvious staining. Can't say I'd stay with this brand again, they didn't even give you a bottle of water at check in.

Our Stay In Santa Cruz
It was terrific. We were able to check in a little early, which was very much appreciated because I wasn't feeling well. The room was excellent. Very clean and had all the amenities it promised. The pool and spa were great. Nice and clean. The breakfast the morning covered something for everyone. I highly recommend staying at the Comfort Inn 110 Plymouth St. in Santa Cruz is a great place to stay.

Typical beach town motel
This motel is a pretty typical beach town motel. I would say it’s not as pictured, the property is pretty run down. The pool wasn’t very well kept and the hot tub was closed. The service and breakfast was decent.
