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

We spent the weekend at the Cliffs with our two large dogs. The bottom floor of the hotel is not just dog friendly but is a resort for dogs. The room was modern, spacious and opened right outside to several greenbelts for access for the dogs. The room had a large sofa which we made into a dog bed. There is a trail that is wide and takes 2 minutes to the beach. There were multiple off leash beaches that weren't mobbed with dogs. The hotel staff were over the top welcoming offering free cocktails when we walked through the door and went out of their way suggesting a spectacular restaurant(Marisol) right next door. The view overlooking the ocean was greet and the pool was large. The fitness room was also large and had all types of machines.

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 this hotel and we couldn't be happier. We had a small dog with us and the staff was extremely welcoming and accommodating to our needs. The food at the restaurant was delicious and the waiter was friendly and kind. He even brought a bowl for our dog. We had a pet-friendly room which had a small balcony. The beds were comfortable, and the room and overall hotel were super clean. Great location. pool and jacuzzi were heated, and nice. The Hotel is on a Cliff, hence the name of course. There is a beautiful set of stairs leading down to the beach that of course if you need assistance with stairs, and want to go to the sand this is not the hotel for you. There is a valet service option for $ 25 dollars. This is a LOVELY hotel in Pismo Beach.

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!
