The spa staff was incredible!

It was a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. It was also very close to downtown.

The people were a bit hit and miss.

8.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed our weekend and will be back.

Loved the view, the pool and restaurant near hotel.

The bathroom was too small for all of us and water pressure and temperature was not up to par.

10.0 / 10.0

Worth the stay

The staff was both attentive and kind. They alone made the stay enjoyable. The amenities from the resort was the icing on top.

If I had to say one thing about the stay that was a little weird was no breakfast included with the stay. With this in mind, you could get breakfast at the restaurant next door, but it was not included with your stay.

10.0 / 10.0

We definitely go back to the Cliffs ! Thank you for everything!

Very nice stay ! The property was very clean and beautiful.

The location was great and close to the beach.

10.0 / 10.0

I would return to the Cliffs in a heartbeat. Excellent in every way.

We had a partial ocean view and were very pleased with it-- the size of the room, the large window, very comfortable bed and pillows, the sofa. Good bedside reading lights.

The window coverings could not be fully opened and that doesn't make sense, when you have a good view. That type of window treatments are trendy, but much better would be something that does not get in the way of the view at all. The other issue was the location of the toilet. Too close to the shower, and you practically had to take a taxi to reach the toilet paper.

Spectacular property with gorgeous views and comfortable accomodations.

Quiet and well-appointed room. Comfortable beds. Loved the view from the lawn, Marisol, the adirrondack chairs, the pool/jacuzzi.

It would be nice to have a fan in the bathroom, but that's all I can say, everything was great!

A perfect place to stay in Pismo for pleasure or for work!

The whole experience at the Cliffs was excellent! The locale was stunning. The views of the ocean while at the pool area were captivating. The other guests were all pleasant to be around. The cliff walk was beautiful. The valet parking was always very prompt. The restaurant onsite was excellent. The room was very clean. The staff was always very pleasant and helpful. Overall, it was a perfect vacation experience. And one our group will definitely want to repeat again.

There was nothing negative about the property.

Excellent birthday getaway

We didn’t eat breakfast …I wanted to order room service but it was not obvious how to do that or if it was possible

The toilet was very low for us old people

1.0 / 10.0

No free parking

I am putting a low mark because the facility says free parking but this is not true. If you want to park there you have to pay the valet, otherwise they send you to a public parking on the other side of the street, uphill.

10.0 / 10.0

Great quick getaway by the coast with amenities. Great customer service on site restaurant beautiful coastal views.

Was first time to Pismo was a birthday trip my friend found the hotel and it did not disappoint. Definitely on my list to return to. The valet is economical price. Only $25 totally worth it. They even have a porter to take your bags if you wish . Excellent customer service. Try the homemade English muffins if you get breakfast they are delicious and soft.

I liked everything

No complaints

Birthday was a hit relaxation

Right on the cliff as a central coast, beautiful view

I can’t really complain other than they charge me $50 to give me a view room on my actual birthday would’ve been nice if they called me as a courteous gesture for my birthday

Eh.

I loved the restaurant and views. The amenities were great.

The inside of our room, I was not impressed. They didn’t have a microwave in the room either. When we checked in our bed was wet in one spot, almost like a wet towel or mop was laid on the bed. It smelt weird. They compensated $100 In food for the inconvenience. The food was AMAZING though. I most likely wouldn’t pay to go back unless I save for a suit. The hole in the wall, less expensive hotel by the pismo pier was a lot nicer when it came to the room… it had a closed off kitchen and bathroom…

Had some restaurant mishaps. Disappointing, but they did not charge us for the steak we felt was inedible. Very nice staff and attentive service. Food was hit and miss, some really good, some not.

Very friendly and clean

I was there for a conference and the restaurant didn’t open until after our conference started Sunday so I had to go find breakfast at another location.
