Beautiful spot, one of the best views ever of the ocean.
Breakfast was ok, but most food gone near the end of the time. WiFi was bad in my room. Had to go outside and walk towards the office to get the internet. As a result, my phone and computer could connect in my room. This should be fixed. No AC, but weather was ok, and we slept with the windows open.

The view was absolutely amazing!! I have never seen a hotel light up the ocean for the perfect evening ambience. My sister and I sat out on the balcony huddled in blankets to enjoy the evening view. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. She took the time to make dinner reservations for us at Shoal.
The breakfast was not Gluten Free friendly. The cakes and pastries looked delicious. I was not able to enjoy them, myself.

The room was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The view from the room was beautiful and the sound of the surf was relaxing.
The free breakfast was adequate but a bit disappointing. By the time we arrived at 8:45 the fresh fruit was all gone. It appeared that nothing was replenished.

The view is amazing! The pool was perfect. The food was delicious.
Didn’t have access to the beach and no other restaurants in walking distance.

Loved the location, the food at the restaurant was very good and the staff was nice. Lupe the host was especially nice and can tell she loves her job.
I did not like that the gardner mowed the grass while we were there in the late afternoon and that the pool guy cleaned the pool during the middle of the day when the weather was perfect to go swimming, and it took him over an hour to complete. These things should be done early in the morning, not during the prime time that guests want to enjoy the property. Also there were ants in our room.

This location is so unique. Nestled on the shore between Highway 1/101 and the point break known as as Oil Piers (there used to be more than the last remaining one) The Cliff House Inn is a throwback to old California. The restaurant at the hotel is outstanding There is little to do here but relax and look at the waves and sky. And that, is the whole point and beauty of this little gem.
There is very little not to like about this place. The property has its quirks. It is not a big chain hotel so each unit is unique and has character but it is lovingly maintained, the rooms are clean and comfortable and quiet.

The view & location are among the best you can get on the CA coast. All rooms have a view of the ocean. There is a nice pool surrounded by lawn & plenty of lounge chairs just feet away from the waves. There are tables/chairs for restaurant dining or to have your own picnic. Buffet breakfast is nothing special but enjoying it outside by the ocean is wonderful. It's an easy walk to 2 small low tide beaches & the bike trail runs right by hotel. The staff is very nice.
The bathroom (shower/toilet area) is in desperate need of an update! Otherwise room & vanity area are fine.
