The Inn was just what we hoped for. The rooms were beautiful and extremely clean. It was so convenient to have a well appointed breakfast each morning in the Inn before heading out for the day. The walk to the Cliff Walk was just a block to the water. The staff were accommodating but not in your face every minute. At times we felt like the Inn was our private home - we wish! We will definitely be back soon!

Labor Day Weekend at Cliffside Inn

We enjoyed our stay at Cliffside Inn - beautiful property and great location (not downtown, but on the Cliff Walk). Great communication from the property in terms of arrival, check-in, etc.. We had a rental car and parking was included and very easy.
