I was charged almost $300.00 for a room in the "basement" that was dark, creepy and looked like a college dorm room. The entire hotel has a frat boy feel to it. Like this is where the local college kids come to get their party on. The bathroom looks like a holiday inn. The restaurant is like a bad cafeteria.... More

I come to the Cliff's on buisness 4-5 times a year and it is the best location in Pismo. They recently finished a remodel of the suites and they are amazing! The suites are oceanfront, huge, have jacuzzi tubs, large balconies and are absolutely beautiful. If you are coming here for a special occasion a suite is a must! if... More

Get an ocean view. It's worth it to wake up to the ocean view. The breakfast is fantastic- omelette station, fruit, potatoes, bacon...... And the usual stuff like oatmeal and cereal, etc. Also recommend dessert at the restaurant. Ive heard dinner is good there, too. The pool is nice- also has a fire pit by the pool. You can walk...

Yes, this is a lovely resort with amenities but it is so loud that it's impossible to relax in the room. Each guest seems to let their room doors close and it sounds like slamming. Marble floors are gorgeous but also incredibly loud. Anyone rolling luggage makes it sounds like a tornado passing by. My husband and I came for... More

Excellent guest service as handicapped ocean view was taken by previous guest extending their stay. The hotel graciously upgraded our stay to a suite and provided shower chair and other handicapped amenities. Wonderful property. Friendly staff! More

Never been in the area before, so after reading so many reviews on trip advisor, decided to stay here. Exceeded my expectations as soon as we arrived. It is a beautiful hotel, inside and out. Room was spotless, and had a wonderful view of the ocean. We slept with the sliding glass door open at night and had a wonderful... More

We were able to book a mid week special which was advertised on their website. The exterior of the front of the hotel looks rather old school and in need of some updating however, the interior has been completely updated. The hallways and the rooms were tastefully and elegantly decorated. The rooms were extremely spacious with a frig and a... More

My girlfriend and I decided to stay at the Cliffs for our 3rd year anniversary! We upgraded to an ocean view suite! When we walked in the room we were in shock and awe... The room setting is perfect! The huge balcony is the best part. We had two televisions (even though we didn't use them), an amazing bathroom with... More

A really nice hotel. Pay the extra money to stay in the seaview king rooms. Wonderful uninterrupted view out of the pacific, you can heat the waves at night. These rooms have a wonderful bath and separate shower. Only problem was dining options in the hotel. The bar tends to be popular with locals for happy hour and it is... More

My husband and I went to the Cliffs as our Babymoon - our last vacation before our first child comes this July. They have a great looking package: ocean view room, couples massages, dinner, breakfast, in room movie and room service ice cream. We were aiming to go away just for one weekend, so this fit the bill perfectly! At... More
