You are definitely paying for the views and ambiance. The room was okay. Very small bathroom. Parking is tight and free breakfast is very limited. The view and outdoor area make up for any minor room hiccups.

Stress relieving stay
Our favorite getaway! Hot water in shower an issue AGAIN, (every stay), but overall a beautiful stay. Shoals restaurant was a disappointment. Service was slow and just average. Understaffed. Paper menus, really? Food was good, not excellent. Besides all that, overall a beautiful property. Needs some work, but we will return.

Pretty good stay
Great views and a nice sized King room. Has everything you need for a comfy stay.
With a little attention to detail, this place could be great. The pool area was relaxing but could use cleaning throughout the day; it got pretty gross by mid afternoon. We had to ask housekeeping to have our sticky floor cleaned again. And the alarm clock was never reset after the prior guest, so it went off at 6am.
Also note that there aren’t other bars and restaurants in walking distance. You’ll need a car or rideshare to get to any kind of activity.

Like a mini resort getaway. There’s not much around here, but the restaurant is incredible and if you’re like me, you’ll probably never leave here other than rides on the bike path or surfing the local break.

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.
