Perfect location to just chill and enjoy the weekend without having to drive anywhere. The views are incredible, the rooms are quaint and clean and the restaurant that's right in the hotel serves delicious food. Staff was pleasant and always helpful. We'd go back there in a heartbeat!

We loved the view and restaurant at Cliffside. Our room was also clean and adequate for a building of its age. We have no complaints. Staying at Cliffside was one of the highlights of our trip doing the PCH.

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.

Great location! Great staff, had dinner at their restaurant and it was delicious! Property is old and it feels like a motel 6. The rooms have thin walls and the bed was hard as a rock for my taste. Place was clean. That being said, you can’t beat the price and it’s so lovely and secluded. Will def come back again for dinner.
