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!

The location is amazing situated right next to the ocean with a large pool and good restaurant on site. The room was spacious and comfortable although it could use some touch ups and updating. We needed a microwave and hair dryer as well as some toiletries like lotion.The complementary breakfast on Sunday was a freshly prepared, complete meal. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
