The location is amazing situated right next to the ocean with a large pool and good restaurant on site. The room was spacious and comfortable although it could use some touch ups and updating. We needed a microwave and hair dryer as well as some toiletries like lotion.The complementary breakfast on Sunday was a freshly prepared, complete meal. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

A Breathtaking Location with Exceptional Service The Cliff House Inn on the Ocean offers a truly unbeatable experience, primarily driven by its spectacular location and the quality of its staff and dining. The Pros: Service and Culinary Excellence The service here is the gold standard. Every staff member was genuinely agreeable and friendly, making us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. This high level of attention extended to the on-site restaurant, which was truly high-level. The food and dining experience were standout features of the trip. The biggest highlight, however, is the setting itself—the location is simply fantastic and offers breathtaking ocean views. The Cons: Room for Updates While the location and service are five-star, the rooms could definitely benefit from updating. The decor and furnishings feel a bit dated, which contrasts with the premium experience offered by the rest of the hotel. This is the only area that prevents a perfect rating. Overall Verdict If you prioritize stunning oceanfront views, outstanding customer service, and gourmet dining over cutting-edge room modernity, this is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway. We would absolutely recommend the Cliff House Inn.

We spent 2 nights oct 2025 for our Anniversary. When you walk in to check in the ocean view is incredible. Yes its an older Inn. I do wish they had a microwave in the rooms. But the view was jawdropping. Seeing dolphins and seals was a joy. Heater worked fine and it was wonderful to sleep listening to the ocean. We cant wait to come back.

The views from this hotel are spectacular and other worldly, both in the daytime and at night. The front desk receptionist is a very nice guy, friendly and reasonable. The rooms are neat,clean and tidy. However many many problems:1. Electricity and wifi went out for 6 hours in the daytime with no back up generator 2. Leaky faucet in bathroom. 3. Worn polyurethane shower stall looks like it came from a 1960s housing project 4. No air conditioning 5. Heater is noisy and archaic. 6. Drinking water is locked up two staircases down 7.Very crowded, noisy and packed full restaurant on weekends. 8. Dinner in restaurant is not vegetarian/vegan friendly as advertised, only rice or pasta, 9.No nearby restaurants, grub hub won't deliver there, and I had to drive a long distance for every meal. 9. No beach or place to walk unless you want to walk on the concrete unshaded bicycle path. 10. Narrow parking stalls and lot was full when arrived. 12. Noisy heater. 12. Restaurant has very limited hours, and there is not even a vending machine with snacks to tide one over between driving trips. 13. Toilet ran on and I had to lift the lid to get it to stop running. Overall I think your best option for the view is to come to eat lunch at the restaurant on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, or to come stay over in the Hotel on Monday afternoon and bring enough food for 48 hours. Bring your own coffeemaker, food supplies, power bank and hotspot.
