The view/location right on the water was awesome. Dinner at the Shoal restaurant we could not stop raving about. The staff was very pleasant, but unfortunately, the rest was ok at best. The bed was very hard and the shower was subpar with barely any water pressure for washing my long hair. The floor in the bathroom was slopped, felt like I was drunk walking on it. And breakfast was nothing special. We only stayed one night and the location on the water made up for any shortcoming.

PROS: The views & customer service. CONS: The walls are thin, you’ll hear everything. The occupants above us were walking around all night & early morning & kept us up. Literally, no rest. The only relaxing time is sitting on the pool loungers with ocean views. The shower water pressure is very low. The shower handle was broken.

One cannot beat the intimate visit with the ocean while dining or staying at the Cliffhouse Inn. The hotel is old, so the rooms are not Hilton standard, but they are cozy and comfortable. The food prepared at the Shoals restaurant on the premises is outstanding, whether for lunch or dinner. The wildlife is fun, including Seagulls, Sparrows, Rock Squirrels, Night Herons, Hummingbirds, pelicans, and dolphins - sometimes all in one visit!
