What an amazing ocean front hotel for a minimal price. Enjoy the ocean sunset with a glass of wine. Keep your window open for an ocean breeze and the soft crashing waves. And enjoy a seafood/steak dinner at their little restaurant. Charming rooms and staff.

Cliff house is an aging beauty. Clean, but dated, rooms. Ocean front, nice pool, (could be heated a few more degrees), friendly staff. Restaurant was excellent. I need coffee before 7:30, just setting up coffee service in the lobby would be great. I would stay here again.

The location cannot be beat. The hotel is old and it shows. Walls are paper thin and even though you are right on the ocean I could still hear the guy next to me snoring all night. Other than that, it was great.
