Charming hotel across from the beach

The hotel is incredibly charming with themed rooms, outrageous views from the roof and free Smores. Dawn was amazing and put flowers and a personalized plaque in our room when hearing we werel there for a special occasion. The staff really went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The whole hotel is about to be remodeled, which is needed, and we hope they keep the bed and breakfast feel. It has a unique old fashioned feel that most hotels just don't have anymore. We cantt wait to go back.

Very nice hotel.

Pros: Very different and every room has its own personality which we found very appealing.
Cons: Better continental breakfasts. New carpets. They are in the midst of upgrading the hotel.
Location: Beach is very close and there are little shops and an excellent grocery store within walking distance.
Staff was exceeding pleasant and made our stay a happy one. I would recommend it to my friends.

Great location and view from the rooftop

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, rooftop deck
Great location in the heart of Cardiff and a short walk to the beach. Close to restaurants and shopping. Comfortable and quiet hotel. It was full and did not feel full with the way the rooms are laid out. Enjoyed the roof top deck and jacuzzi and views of the ocean. Excellent complimentary breakfast. Great romantic getaway.

Great Place, friendly staff

Would stay again. Though not on the Ocean side of the highway, the rooftop patio provides a great view of the Ocean with beautiful flowering planters, several water features and a Spa. Room was clean, spacious, with an abundance of closet and storage space. Bed was very comfortable. Free parking and breakfast with wonderful fresh fruit and gourmet pastries. A very tranquil place to stay.

One of the best places to stay

Cardiff by the Sea Lodge rates in the top 5% of all the best places we have stayed. We have traveled the entire Pacific Coast from Canada to Mexico and stayed in dozens of wonderful places, and they are at the top. They are very friendly and accommodating. Each of their theme based rooms are uniquely decorated including Jacuzzi tubs, original artwork murals and upgraded furnishings. Many rooms have ocean views, and they are conveniently located to the beach. The sunset views from the rooftop garden are the best you will find. The rooftop fire pit and Jacuzzi provide a great place to gather. The Lodge is designed to be both a beautiful place and has been carefully constructed to ensure guest room privacy and quite. We have stayed there a dozen times and will definitely return.
