“Great view, leaking ceiling, poor management”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

I would first like to start off with a positive note. The rooms are very nice and the view is beautiful. With that being said I was shocked with the management at The Cliffs Resort. My best friend and I decided to venture down south and stayed there for her 30th birthday on April 27th, 2013. We had a blast... More

“Stayed for Business”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

Our business meets here for a workshop every year in the spring and did so again this year (2103). We stay at the hotel, meet in a meeting room at the hotel, and eat breakfast at the restaurant. The experience has been and continues to be excellent. The staff is very friendly, very helpful and very accomodating. Some of our... More

“Stayed here multiple times...”

Reviewed 8 May 2013 via mobile

I stayed in a ocean-viewing suite. It was awesome!! Got 1st floor this time (been on 2nd & 3rd floors before), and it was great. Big spacious room and really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio to read.

“Unimpressed”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

I bought a Groupon for this hotel for just over $100 per night, and for that price it was adequate. The website quoted $400 for the same room on the same night, and that is grossly overpriced for the accommodations. I was disappointed to arrive and find the pool closed for the duration of our stay with no notice. The... More

Patrice224, I'm glad you found our staff to be helpful, however I'm sorry you were disappointed with your stay. I understand your frustration with the pool closure, unfortunately booking through Groupon, we are not given any contact information to let you know of this in advance. I hope you enjoy any future trips to the area, whether you stay with... More

“An ok place, not worth it if you don't stay in an ocean view room.”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

We saw several non-ocean view rooms before we found one that was ok -- one was basically on top of the ventilation system, and the other was below grade by the parking lot. The rooms that don't face the ocean face a large parking lot and the freeway (101). The room was clean, the bed was fine, the furniture was... More

I'm glad to hear that you were well taken care of by our banquet staff, as we value our customers and hope to demonstrate that through our service. However, while the Front Desk Agent was able to find a room that better suited your needs,it seems that overall you were less than impressed with your stay, and I'm sorry for... More

“Do not even think of staying here on a Sunday”

Reviewed 29 April 2013

We recently stayed at the Cliffs Resort for one night. It was a beautiful place with a view of the ocean, nice rooms and pool and a restaurant- and that was the problem. There was a champagne brunch going on ALL DAY LONG- drunk people everywhere, in the pool area (people not staying at the hotel), all over the lawn.... More

“Repeat Customer”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

My husband and I come to The Cliffis a couple times a year as it is only a few hours away for us. We have stayed there many time and keep coming back. The rooms are wonderful and the scenery is outstanding. A great place to go if you want to relax. It is a favorite place to be.

Thank you so much, Dball23! We appreciate your loyalty, and look forward to your next stay! More

We decided to stay here last minute. We have 2 young children that enjoyed their stay too. Our room was beautiful with very comfy beds and marble floors. We had a view of the pool and the ocean.

“Amazing surprise!”

Came here for a wedding and was pleasantly surprised. Initially, I was hesitant about the price but after checking out felt like I got an amazing deal! Service is great, rooms are amazing and the location is just wonderful. Could stay here for weeks. Would recommend at any price. A true find!

It sounds like a great California getaway! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and found our property to be a good value. Next time, look for our Stay 3, Get 1 Free package and stay a little longer! More
