There are no guest parking spots in the parking lot, so one must either walk a couple blocks or use the paid valet parking.

very modern high amenity room for the price. Pool was open in early April and nicely heated.

A lovely hotel about 3hours from LAX for an one night 2 day stopover in LA. A treat for our last night of holidays. And wasn't it a treat. Hired a car, and arrived to Valet parking (extra), a beautiful comfortable room, and the most friendliest Hotel and Restaurant staff I have ever experienced. Sadly the weather wasn't in our favour, so swimming and hopping in spa wasn't on our list, but it didn't stop others as it was heated. The food, views, staff and decore at the Marisol Restaurant was sensational. There is an ocean walk path to enjoy as well.

Every time we come to the Cliff, we got the best friendly service.

The staff were amazing, they were so friendly and helpful and even remembered our names. We ate at the restaurant Marisol and it was delicious! We were able to sit on the patio and watch the sunset while eating dinner and they had heaters by the table and even offered blankets! The pool was heated so we were able to swim at night and in the morning which was perfect. Our room had a partial ocean view and it made the stay even better it was so nice to be able to walk on the balcony and just watch the ocean from the room. This hotel is also a 10 min drive to the pier if you are wanting to visit there. If you are planning on visiting Pismo Beach soon I highly recommend staying here you will feel like you are on vacation in Hawaii. So beautiful 10000/10

Location and amenities I have been staying here for the last 15 to 20 years and it is consistently been a great selection for me. Good for small children and adults as well. Don’t forget to climb down the stairs and check out the tide pools.

Everything except the manager at the marisol she would only be nice to white people and was rude to Mexicans

I have stayed at the Clifts approximately 30 times and use to meet my family there for the Thanksgiving dinner. But for all my visits and that included paying for my parents and daughter’s room I have yet to receive even an offer of an upgrade or a voucher for drinks. I have been to the Clifts twice in the last two months and it has the location that is the draw more than the hotel.

Nothing at all.

Staff kind, courtesy, knowledgeable for all questions. Very clean and a beautiful hotel over all.

Several staff members misgendered my long-haired son, calling us "ladies," which was annoying, especially given his typically male attire of a collared button-down shirt and slacks. While I expect the intent was simply to make a child feel grown up and special, since visually identifying a child's gender can often be tricky, using language like "you two" or "you and your guest" or "young companion" takes the guesswork out while being equally polite and inclusive. Asking and using his name to address him directly would have also made a great impression (as our server made a point to do).

The property is well-appointed and was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The shuttle service from the train station was prompt and accommodating despite several delays to our arrival. Our server at the restaurant was impeccable, as was the food. We had a wonderful time walking the bluffs, through the neighborhoods, tide-pooling, and watching the sunset sky from the pool and hot tub. I loved hearing the ocean waves and seeing the sliver of coastline through our open window all night.

Superb value for money. Really beautiful compound overlooking the ocean. Wonderful location for sunrises and sunsets. Rooms had amazing views of the ocean. Will visit again.

I wish they had closer free parking.

We liked how clean it was and how friendly the staff was. The view was amazing.

The rooms need some updating. The toilets are dinky and short, gaps in the doors to the hallway, and you can hear noises from the rooms around you.

The location, views, and staff were amazing!

The bathroom floor grout was stained and dirty looking. The pillows were not comfortable.

Clean, friendly, top rated skills in the spa
