“Relaxing break”
As a stop gap for a trip, this was a lovely,relaxing hotel. Very quiet and peaceful. Not a lot to do beyond the hotel, a few nice shops nearby but lovely views from our ocean view room.
“Nice Hotel in Central CA”
Very nice room; including the entire hotel. Ate at the restaurant both for dinner and breakfast - very good as well. Very nice breach front hotel.
“Nice stay”
Nicd hotel. Clean and friendly staff.
“Pismo Beach-The Cliffs”
Big tent for a reception obstructed ocean view from restaurant. FREE valet parking was a plus! Room very comfortable with balcony overlooking pool and ocean.
“Top of the Cliffs”
The Cliffs is a beautiful hotel that is located directly along the bluffs at Pismo Beach. We upgraded to a larger, ocean front room that provided unobstructed views up and down the coastline. The room was spotless, freshly decorated, and the bed was amazingly comfortable. The staff was friendly, fun, and helpful. If I have a complaint, it would be that the chaise lounge on our patio was spotted and soiled. Other rooms didn't have have this problem because they had different chaises. Also, the ground floor ocean front rooms, are set aside for travelers with dogs. Although I love my dogs, be prepared for some barking, pooping, and owners who may not clean up after their dogs.
“Very enjoyable stay”
Plenty of Hotel activites! Fireside outside movies, Outdoor music concert and cookout, Beach access & more
“Lovely resort”
A lovely spring off season get away.
“Not perfect, but they did try”
I had a problem with my room. Noises in the walls all through the day. They upgraded us to a better room with a pool/ ocean view. The only problem with that is that there was a loud party out in the pool area all the way past 11pm. The room no longer had a sofa, but did have a fireplace. The only problem with that is that the fireplace turned off automatically after a few minutes. It was on some auto temp. setting. Other than that, the hotel is very nice and I wouldn't mind staying there again.
“good beach access”
Up to date facility. Nice grounds and trails. Food service a little rough around the edges, but lots of options nearby.
“Smooth and Relaxing”
We went from Washington state to The Cliffs in late April for a 4-day getaway to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Desk staff was very helpful in selecting the best available room (top floor, most expansive view of ocean) at the pre-booked price that could have applied to any of about 100 rooms in the same class ("pool-ocean view"). Prepaid buffet breakfasts and a celebration dinner at on-site Marisol restaurant were accompanied by friendly service and quality ingredients and preparation. Decor was very nice and well-kept. The view and grounds were pleasantly "tropical" and also well-kept. All staff were friendly and seemed to enjoy providing friendly and courteous service. Even the pool man seemed to take pleasure in checking to see if we wanted more towels, offering complimentary ice water, offering to move our lounges as the sun moved around, and taking our picture. Overall, a very pleasant and relaxing several days in nice surroundings with cheerful service.
