We just returned from an amazing stay. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with such warm and friendly staff. They treat you like royalty. The room and the ocean view were amazing! We have stayed here many times and it never disappoints! Comfortable beds, amazing view, friendly staff, and great amenities make the Cliffs a perfect getaway. Enjoyed a gorgeous sunset from our oceanfront balcony. Sitting by the fire pits and sipping a cocktail from the Marisol was very relaxing as well. It was the perfect Valentines getaway. We enjoyed our stay and are booked again as we can’t wait to return next month to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary!

We stayed at The Cliffs Hotel and Spa and Pismo beach for a family wedding. What a beautiful location. Room was well appointed, great space snd furnishings. Restaurant and bar were great good food , excellent drinks. I want to commend the excellent customer service from all staff. Friendly and professional. I particularly want to mention Aaron Connor for his warm personable service. He was welcoming from the moment we arrived and was accommodating when we had a problem with the corners of out bed . I want to add that this is a perfect wedding venue. Thanks to all who made our stay so great!

This is a great hotel to chose for staying in Pismo Beach. I highly recommend The Cliffs. It’s right off 101 you have access to everything here. The parking is either free or valet on site The front lobby staff are warm, welcoming, very helpful, they have the best staff here! You are greeted as soon as you arrive at their glass doors with cheerfulness and kindness. My reservation was made on their website, I highly recommend taking a look at it, lots of choices, and different packages to choose from. You can call and speak to Lin if you have questions, she’s amazing and will take great care of you! This is a beautiful resort to have a wedding / honeymoon with the ocean right at the hotel’s edge, there are different locations on the property to chose from for wedding locations plus a beach you can walk down to right next to the property as well. On the lawn by the pool the hotel has many concerts which are well attended with food from the Marisol which is ocean front with outside amazing views or inside the dining room which is Spanish feel, they also have a beautiful fireplace. The servers are very friendly and attentive , the food is huge portions and delicious. The pool and jacuzzi are right outside the Marisol patio so you can enjoy the ocean views and swim. They also have a SPA and gift ship you don’t want to miss, the services like a facial, foot bath and massage is a great way to spoil yourself or a friend during your stay ! We loved our room on the 5 th floor, ocean front, clean, quiet with a fireplace and the entire property smells so good! Everyone here is super nice and welcoming I can’t wait to return back to The Cliffs! Pismo Pier is a short bike ride or drive away, Grover Beach and Avila Beach are also easy to reach as well for more exploring just ask the Cliffs front desk staff if you need anything, they are all super !

This is a wonderful hotel with access to the beach. The views are stunning and the rooms have baths that overlooks the views. It stays busy so make sure to make reservations in advance. The lights went out while we were there - an unusual event - added some excitement to the visit, but in total a positive experience. We held a business meeting here and the food and service was excellent.

Everyone from valet to front desk was very friendly. Room was clean and balcony with views and of pool and pacific was beautiful. Only stayed one evening and didn’t use outdoor areas but did see personnel vacuum pool and wiping down outdoor furniture before 8 am. Marisol restaurant served a plentiful and delicious breakfast Will stay again if in the area

I emailed ahead of our stay to say my husband and I were celebrating a special anniversary and my husbands birthday. They responded straight away & emailed a couple times which I thought was a lovely personsal touch. Our room was gorgeous with a view of the ocean and a little balcony. They had left us a lovely note congratulating us and lots of goodies including a few beers. We had a gorgeous meal in the restaurant with a lovely view of the ocean. Our time at the hotel was memorable & all the staff were super friendly. Thank you for making our stay so special. I can't recommend the hotel enough.

Upon arrival we were so excited. The posted pictures portray a property with upscale ambiance, incredible views and amenities. However, it was somewhat off putting to see yellow caution tape blocking off a large section of the lobby- hopefully it was just under construction rather than a crime scene investigation. The front desk staff failed to demonstrate any type of personality, welcoming or sense of hospitality whatsoever ever. Very cold and matter of a fact. The front desk refused to help with making spa treatment appointments and referred us to use the app or call when we got to our room. The spa didn’t answer the phone nor did their app work to book a massage and front desk staff were unwilling to help. We ended up booking spa treatments elsewhere. Our partial ocean view room (224) was at best mediocre. For a Hotel/Spa property to provide such an uncomfortable lumpy bed and over stuffed hard pillows is a travesty. Plus the bathroom exceptionally small. The rooms are like a Comfort Inn and lobby like a Wyndham. The BEST part about our stay was feeling the sun on our face as we watched the waves from our room. I loved how the pool and patio of the restaurant was situated to overlook the cliff. Would I stay here again? Maybe if I was in a pinch but definitely not if I wanted to be pampered.

Very nice and clean hotel, when we arrived and checked in, the lady working on reception (sorry I can’t remember her name) noticed it was my partners birthday and offered us an upgrade for a small fee which we did, we had a beautiful sea and pool view with a balcony. The bed was comfortable. They had robes and towels to use when you use the pool and hot tub which are also nicely heated! There is free parking off site about a 3 minute walk away but also a valet service if you wish to use that at an extra cost. We also ate at the marisol restaurant which is onsite and the food in there was excellent too and the waiter JD was very good too! Wish we were staying here a few nights instead of the one. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
