Ignore the negative reviews, with a catch

As you probably imagined, this place has the best view, period. When you travel south along CA-1 or PCH, the lodges on your right hand side is always better. Cliff House Inn's view falls into the "right hand side" category - unobstructed, private, mesmerizing, and tranquil. When we first arrived, parked and went to the front desk, that cozy ocean peek through the front gate is unparalleled. The catch - go for the 4 "big rooms" when you can. They make a huge difference. They have better views, bigger room, better amenities in general, etc. You don't stop at a cliffside hotel just for a quick rest. You probably plan to stay there for an extend period, and the deluxe rooms are worth every penny for the upgrade. Dinner offering is fine. Breakfast is subpar and goes quickly. Best season to visit is those days with just right amount of sea breeze in the day time, and a bit chilly at night. Space heater works fine, but may be not in the winter. Overall it's worth the stay, and we will definitely come back sometime, probably in the off season.

Like a mini resort getaway. There’s not much around here, but the restaurant is incredible and if you’re like me, you’ll probably never leave here other than rides on the bike path or surfing the local break.

Issue on check-out day. Put suitcases in car before breakfast (7:30am). Plan was to have breakfast, then go to beach to explore. After breakfast, had to go to the bathroom, went to room, door open, cleaning lady making one of the beds. Used bathroom, said we hadn't checked out yet (desk had sign check-out 12pm). Daughter had to use bathroom, door wide open again, used bathroom and heard someone, came out woman making second bed! Told front desk, no apology, just said that they probably thought we had checked out. We still had out beach towel and a few things in the room in case we needed to clean up a bit after beach exploring. Continental breakfast, fruit was never replenished. Restaurant food was ok, salad was good. Floor in room had definite slant from mid room to back wall, at least 1.5", saw cracks on walls, could fit quarter in them. Beach rocky, but found lots of beautiful shells! Would not go back.
