The view, you can't beat it, especially for the price. The hotel, is OLD. It's also outdated inside the rooms. Old carpet, old tv. But...clean. Nice employees. If you have rude people staying there, like we did, you hear everything! We will go back. If you stay there, just don't expect a 4 or 5 star hotel. Its all good... More

What it lacks in immenities, is made up by the unique views & sounds of the ocean. They were able to accomodate us even at the last minute. Nice friendly staff - the food on menu was very good. We slept comfortably. I would recommend it for the view. More

I love the ocean. I sleep like a rock with the sound of the waves but who can afford ocean front and who wants to stay in one of those "plastic palaces". Its like staying at the Holiday Inn in Paris. My room has always been clean. Yes I guess it is a little shop worn but I don't spend... More

After reading some of the reviews I was apprehensive of what might lay beyond the door to the room. I was pleasantly surprised! I reserved Room 12, top floor corner and it was really pretty nice, then I opened the drapes and found a view that Four Seasons guests would be envious of, it was spectacular! It had 2 rooms,...

The Cliff House is as close to the Ocean as you can get. There are suites on each end of the hotel with huge picture windows with remarkable views or the ocean both during the day and night. The suites are an extra $20 and well worth it. We fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing into the rocks.... More

I have driven past this hotel for 40 years on highway 1, then we decided to stop one weekend. It was great, the owner and her brother are putting in a lot of effort to make this very old hotel nice, and they are doing a good job. We had a great lunch on the patio with a great view... More

The scenery at The Cliff House is as beautiful as anywhere else in the world. However, the place is so dilapidated that staying there can be a bummer. The breakfast buffet area is poorly maintained and staffed. Staff is friendly but obviously has not received training in basic sanitary food handling techniques. The cream cheese was "off taste" so we... More

Went there with great expectations. Don't let their great advertising fool you. You can swim in the pool with lots of birds and bird items. The management/owners were the biggest problem, they have an attitude and could care less to be hospitable to their guests. I wouldn't stay there for free, it was that bad. More

There are a number of mixed reviews for this property on other web sites. Most of them focus on the age of the property, and how it could use a good update. First, the positives. The view from nearly all rooms is astonishing. For the money, it is unlikely anyone can beat Cliff House Inn for their view. Absolutely gorgeous.... More
