The North Cliff Hotel is in a great location. We stayed in a king spa room, which was very comfortable and had a wonderful ocean view. Actually, the key cards would not work in the first room we checked into, so we were moved to an upgraded room a few doors away. The front desk clerk and the hotel handyman were great. The furniture was comfortable, and the beach was a short walk away. We dined at North Coast Brewing - tasty shrimp po' boys and good beer. Another night we dined at the Wharf, which was good, not great.
