The staff were very friendly and allowed us to check in when the room was ready. They had crackers, cheese, salami, fruit and wine daily in the afternoon and they served a nice breakfast. Also, the room had blackout curtains and a fan to circulate the air. It was warm outside the room and was told by another guest that upstairs was extremely warm. The location was perfect for walking to the beaches, wharf and boardwalk.

West Cliff Inn is gorgeous. The Inn itself is a historic building that is filled with old world charm. The view is across from the water/wharf and is breath-taking. The staff was warm, friendly, and extremely helpful. Wine and cheese in the afternoon and a delicious breakfast in the AM were scrumptious. We will definitely be returning. 5 plus stars!!
