Shore Cliff Hotel

We have stayed at this hotel before, when it was a Best Western. It’s nice to see they upgraded the rooms with modern decor, paint, and carpet. The view is spectacular if you upgrade to a partial or full ocean view. The buildings themselves are older with a small slow elevator and outdoor stairs. Our room was a good size but it was tilted from the doorway to the patio. We had a terrific view of the pool and the ocean. The A/C and heater is a loud wall unit but it works. Our pillows were very lumpy and uncomfortable, they need to be replaced. The bed was comfortable and I was thankful for the extra blanket in the closet. The room came with both a small refrigerator and a microwave. The pool is large and there is a good size jacuzzi. There was a $35 resort fee that included free internet and breakfast, (wellbeing and yoga classes, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys, e-bikes, lawn games, and discounts non of which we used in a one night stay) but it did not include the parking. Parking was an additional $15/night. You have to scan a card by 10:00 pm to pay for your parking, it would be more convenient if this was included in the resort fee, just up the fee to $50 instead of asking guests to go through the steps to pay for parking. Breakfast was average, nothing spectacular although they did offer tamales which I’ve never seen before. The bacon was wafer thin but the breakfast staff were friendly and very helpful, they worked hard to keep everything filled up. There were a lot of birds, seagulls and pelicans, both on the property and along the shore, hundreds of them. We walked out to the gazebo and they were perched all along the rocks of the cliffs and on the hillside. Several came to the gazebo as we were standing there. There is poop everywhere on the walkways, the cliffs, the cars parked in the parking lot. The birds favor several parking spots and no matter who parks there, they poop all over their car. I know some of that is to be expected at the beach but I’ve never seen it as bad as it was this time. I don’t know if there is something that could be done about that. This hotel has a wonderful view and friendly staff, it is in a good location, but it is not 5 star worthy in my opinion.

Great stay

I loved how we were able to see the ocean from our balcony.

Beautiful property.

I didn’t like the extra resort fee and to be required to pay $15 for parking upon check-in. The breakfast was great though and the ocean views are splendid

Pros: The hotel was nice. Location was great. Breakfast was good, pool was nice. Room: good size. They provided small binoculars that were in the room. coffee maker, fridge and microwave. Cons: Didn't like that you have to pay for parking. Then having to pay by scanning a QR code. Just include it in the whole price instead of separate.

Very good scenery.
