This is one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed at since we’ve been coming to Pismo. The staff was exceptionally kind and accommodating, from booking to the front desk to housekeeping to Marisol restaurant (who makes an excellent margarita!) The beds were very comfortable and the rooms spacious & quiet. We came at a difficult time during the quarantine and the Cliffs gave us a much needed, stress free reprieve from the rest of the world for a few days.

The hotel has a beautiful view of the ocean and the property. All of the amenities were closed do to the Covid 19 pandemic. Not the fault of the hotels. This is a beautiful place and will be booking an other weekend stay in the future.

Great hotel - amazing service.
This hotel is always a gem. We’d been booked on a cruise among this virus issue and it’d been cancelled. Told my daughter let’s go to The Cliffs and pretend we’re on a cruise. Ate every meal at Marisol had drinks in the hot tub. It was great - hot was squeaky clean.

4/10 Fair

The check in was confusing. I booked a "classic" room with a king bed and a sea view. When I arrived the front desk gave me a garden view because the there is no such thing as a classic sea view room at there hotel. The Front Desk Manager made it right and upgraded is to a not classic sea view room. On check out they wanted an additional $180 dollars even though I prepared with expedia. After fifteen minutes of explaining and waiting for mangers they took it off the bill. Please get this problem straightened out. I am certain they will be contacting you.
