The price was different than my Expedia reservations. The room I booked was different than the room we were given due to our pet. Although it said pet friendly, the room I booked apparently was not. If I wanted an ocean view my pet fee would be $75 nightly, as opposed to $40 parking lot view. The second night of our stay had a huge price hike compared to the first night. The room served our purpose but I was disappointed by the extra fees and pet fee increase for looking at the ocean. We went for business and it was over $1000 for two nights. The restaurant was closed for renovation. The staff was kind and friendly but I was not happy about the hidden fees. I would definitely call and ask all of those questions if you’re considering a stay. We were also charged to park in front of our room.

Pet rooms are filthy, dark, and smells like a car wash. ( heavy chemicals ) They charge a $40 pet fee and parking fee top it off. Pool and spa need to be updated. Regret not spending a little more for the cliffs.

What a way to wake up! A gorgeous view, a calm and serene atmosphere, and just an amazing start to every day. Comfy bed, great amenities, close to everything. Quiet. Just wow. I travel a lot and this was by far my favorite place yet. And I’m picky.
