I would absolutely stay here again! The setting and grounds are stunningly beautiful. We saw dolphins swimming close to shore in the morning, and slept to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs. It was so peaceful, romantic, and cozy. My room (16) was big and clean with a very comfortable bed. I probably slept more soundly than I ever have. But manage your expectations and don’t expect this to be a resort. The hotel itself is a little shabby chic, and not fancy, which was perfect for me.

Cliff House Inn

The location right on the ocean is amazing.The hotel is dated, the staff is hard working and friendly, it is clean, the pool is nice. The room with 2 queen beds was very roomy. . We did not eat at the restaurant but many people did. The food looked delicious and the staff was very professional. The breakfast was good and included.

Oceanside hotel right off 101.

Lovely location with ocean views -- fall asleep to the crash of waves. Easy drive into Ventura for restaurants and ferries. Very helpful front desk staff. Excellent dinner at the in-house restaurant -- enjoyed dining outdoors, watching the ocean. The rooms are simple and could use some updating, but we didn't spend much time in the room.

Ignore the negative reviews, with a catch

As you probably imagined, this place has the best view, period. When you travel south along CA-1 or PCH, the lodges on your right hand side is always better. Cliff House Inn's view falls into the "right hand side" category - unobstructed, private, mesmerizing, and tranquil. When we first arrived, parked and went to the front desk, that cozy ocean peek through the front gate is unparalleled. The catch - go for the 4 "big rooms" when you can. They make a huge difference. They have better views, bigger room, better amenities in general, etc. You don't stop at a cliffside hotel just for a quick rest. You probably plan to stay there for an extend period, and the deluxe rooms are worth every penny for the upgrade. Dinner offering is fine. Breakfast is subpar and goes quickly. Best season to visit is those days with just right amount of sea breeze in the day time, and a bit chilly at night. Space heater works fine, but may be not in the winter. Overall it's worth the stay, and we will definitely come back sometime, probably in the off season.
