The location was great, but the hotel itself felt outdated and not worth the high price. Rooms and amenities could really use an upgrade to match what they’re charging.

The price was different than my Expedia reservations. The room I booked was different than the room we were given due to our pet. Although it said pet friendly, the room I booked apparently was not. If I wanted an ocean view my pet fee would be $75 nightly, as opposed to $40 parking lot view. The second night of our stay had a huge price hike compared to the first night. The room served our purpose but I was disappointed by the extra fees and pet fee increase for looking at the ocean. We went for business and it was over $1000 for two nights. The restaurant was closed for renovation. The staff was kind and friendly but I was not happy about the hidden fees. I would definitely call and ask all of those questions if you’re considering a stay. We were also charged to park in front of our room.

Pet rooms are filthy, dark, and smells like a car wash. ( heavy chemicals ) They charge a $40 pet fee and parking fee top it off. Pool and spa need to be updated. Regret not spending a little more for the cliffs.
