Got a great deal on the hotel's website. Made a room request on the online reservation form and received a call from the front desk about 5 minutes after submitting it to discuss room selection with me. The doors open on both sides of the room to let the cool ocean breeze in. Very friendly staff, great location. Would absolutely... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on a West Coast Road trip. We really liked it. It kind of felt like what you would hope for in a smaller non-chain american hotel. Good big room, great customer service. Most rooms set up around the pool area. Its a short stroll down to the main area and the staff recommendations for... More

The staff at check-in were extremely pleasant and courteous. "Free" parking for guests is a major plus! Our room was nice and clean but I was very disappointed in what they considered Deluxe King with partial ocean view. The view was from a small window over the bathroom vanity and if you were in that area you had to be... More

Spent one night here to attend a business retreat. This property is excellent. Even if you ignore it's fantastic location and amazing views of the ocean coastline, this is a hotel that is all about comfort, professionalism and service. The rooms are well appointed, the beds extremely comfortable, the bathrooms are exceptional. I don't think I've ever had more comfortable... More

Premises has been recently refurbished. Everything very clean, comfortable bed. Complimentary snack basket in room. Brewed coffee, tea, flavored water, cookies and fruit in lobby. Easy walk to town or beach. Clean pool and jacuzzi, pool towels provided. Charge a fee to your card at check-in "for incidentals" which they inform is not credited back to card for several weeks.

We escaped for one night to Laguna, and Laguna Cliffs Inn proved to be the perfect spot. I've been to Laguna many times and wanted to try a different hotel. Driven by online reviews, I made this choice and would make it again. We arrived way before the check in time, and the enthusiastic staff encouraged us to leave our... More

Me and my sister stayed in the Cliffs Inn for 4 nights. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable and we loved the little balcony at the back.

If you like boutique hotels with great service then I recommend you stay here. It's a cute place very close to one of the most beautiful seaside parks, Heisler, that I've ever seen.The staff is friendly and go above and beyond what's expected. We had a stinky refrigerator and it was replaced while we went out! You're greeted like old... More
