Stress relieving stay

Our favorite getaway! Hot water in shower an issue AGAIN, (every stay), but overall a beautiful stay. Shoals restaurant was a disappointment. Service was slow and just average. Understaffed. Paper menus, really? Food was good, not excellent. Besides all that, overall a beautiful property. Needs some work, but we will return.

Terrible! Don’t stay here!

We went here for our wedding anniversary weekend only to have to leave after the first night. This is a hotel that needs to be torn down and start over with new construction. It’s old and smells like mold and old cigarettes. Paint is peeling everywhere and needs walls that are made for soundproofing so you’re not hearing the people in the room next door having sex and his bed frame banging on the wall between us. We could hear everything and the words they are speaking. The bed was us bad as sleeping in a hammock! You can’t even move in the bed without it making so much noise it keeps you awake. I could barely move in the morning because it messed up my back. The breakfast they advertised was a total joke! It was like being at a homeless soup kitchen. This is a flea bag hotel! It’s sad because this is a beautiful location and they have a wonder restaurant but the hotel needs to be completely redone.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cliff house inN! The location was splendid. The staff was cordial and very helpful. The pool was immaculate and the dinner at the restaurant was delicious! Continental breakfast was OK but could’ve been expanded a bit.

You are definitely paying for the views and ambiance. The room was okay. Very small bathroom. Parking is tight and free breakfast is very limited. The view and outdoor area make up for any minor room hiccups.

The good: Ambiance is quiet and peaceful. Staff were all nice and helpful. Rooms are antique looking but clean. Restaurant food was delicious. They served a descent continental breakfast with fruit, toast, cold cereal, desserts, yogurt, juice and. Coffee. The kids enjoyed the pool everyday. The water was warm. Used bicycle trail on PCH to walk to near beach. It was a nice a walk in the morning with small kids. Located near Santa Barbara, Solvang, Ojai and other attractions. Loved it, will return. The bad: near PCH and can hear the traffic at night. Traffic seemed to quiet down a little for a few hours between 1am-4am. Bring ear plugs if sensitive to noise.

Disliked: Amenities
Hot water suddenly became cold many times during showers, parking during restaurant hours was abysmal, and the continental breakfast left a lot to be desired (an inn with its own restaurant should offer more). But being able to leave windows open throughout my entire stay, and falling asleep to the surf every night, made up for these deficiencies. Overall I would recommend staying here, as long as you're okay without certain creature comforts.

This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. Period. It's not fancy, but it is clean and the view and sounds of the crashing waves is amazing. All of the other guests that I bumped into at breakfast were walking on clouds as I was. It is a little secret paradise.

I liked the quiet and privacy of the location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Although the rooms are very comfortable, It is a old hotel so there are dings in the walls and baseboards, so ants came in. The ants were quickly taken care of. I would always choose to stay here If they were dog friendly.

This property advertises a private beach and direct beach access. Their private beach is only present at low tide, During the rest of the time it's completely submerged by the ocean. There is no direct access from the property, we were directed to a dirt path after the parking lot on public grounds, that led to jagged rocks that had to be scaled, in order to reach the sand that was only present at low tide. The rooms were dingy, sticky and in disrepair. The breakfast food was unpleasant. The restaurant staff was rude and unfocused. The restaurant hours have it closed most of the time. This property is listed disingenuously and is not a place you should spend your vacation.

This place is a gem with a few small issues. It's an older property- which is fine. Staff was all wonderful, restaurant is great. Only complaints. 1.pillows smelled a bit like a guy who had been in the sun all day. I just used a towel to cover it. Probably would have been remedied if I'd ask so NBD. 2. WIFI was abysmal. As someone who needs it to work was a bit of a problem. Other than that, had a relaxing couple of nights.

A nervous start turned into a nice stay. When we arrived we fully realized how secluded this property is. This can be fine if you rent a car or plan on not leaving, but if you want to get into Santa Barbra or Ventura, a Uber or Lyft will cost you $140-150 to pick you up!!! ANYTIME. It's only $30 or so to be dropped off here, but VERY expense to be picked up from this location. This caused a problem so we last min rented a car. We got an ocean view room and THAT is what made the stay 100% worth it. The window was huge and the view was incredible. few cons... the room was worn down (example: leaky sink) and the headboard was so squeaky every time we sat or moved at all on the bed it was very loud. The staff was very kind and helpful and the food was good.
