The location of the Cliff House is spectacular, it literally sits about 15 feet above the water, with the ocean right out your door! We visited during the recent high tides and surf and did not feel in any danger, but it was spectacular to see! The restaurant downstairs is a hidden gem -- great food, service and views!
The downside is that it is an old hotel and it shows. Our water valve in the shower (room #4) seemed to randomly deliver hot or cold water depending on its mood. The light in the fan over the bed randomly went out, then went back on again when we played with it. We enjoyed the noise of the ocean during the night, but when we closed our window about 5AM, we had to turn on a white noise app on our phone and wear earplugs to block out the sound of the TV next door through the wall -- not sure who turns on their TV at 5 AM but we sure heard it! Cliff House is generally a great place, but it has quirks and is showing its age.
