Had the pleasure of staying at the Cliffhouse Inn in Ventura California. Of note when traveling to the Inn access is only available on the southbound freeway side. The rooms were quite dated, but clean and serviceable. There is no direct access to the beach without climbing down a very steep and rock strewn hill. The breakfast buffet was nothing special and the food at the restaurant was OK. If you are looking for a quiet an out-of-the-way place on the California coast this might be your cup of tea.
