I loved everything about The Cliffside Inn. At first, I didn’t love my room because I didn’t realize I had booked a room with a staircase leading to the bathroom. The staff quickly found us a new and better room. I always looked forward to breakfast every morning as there was always something new and delicious to feast on, and I loved the idea of wine hour!! Loved all the fireplaces throughout the common area and the bedrooms. The staff was always friendly and very accommodating. I was sad to leave but my husband and I will definitely come back! Will definitely recommend the Cliffside Inn!!
Lovely fire in the sitting room

The Inn was just what we hoped for. The rooms were beautiful and extremely clean. It was so convenient to have a well appointed breakfast each morning in the Inn before heading out for the day. The walk to the Cliff Walk was just a block to the water. The staff were accommodating but not in your face every minute. At times we felt like the Inn was our private home - we wish! We will definitely be back soon!

Charming place! It rained a lot so we weren't able to take advantage of the fire pit, but the bed was AMAZING!! The breakfast could use a few more options, but the egg casserole was tasty.

Labor Day Weekend at Cliffside Inn

We enjoyed our stay at Cliffside Inn - beautiful property and great location (not downtown, but on the Cliff Walk). Great communication from the property in terms of arrival, check-in, etc.. We had a rental car and parking was included and very easy.
