The breakfast was delicious and healthy! They offer a lot of extras like wine and cheese, bikes and beach supplies. The rooms were comfortable and smelled fresh. I only wish there was a chair in my room. Otherwise still a 5-star experience! Fantastic location to getting to a popular beach as well.

Not recommended

Staff was not super friendly. Outlets in the room didn’t work. Bed was not comfortable. AC didn’t work and there were eggshells in the breakfast egg scramble. The windows when open led to a public deck so anyone could see and come in easily which felt unsafe, but the room was uncomfortably hot so we opened the windows even when strangers were on the public deck right outside our window next to the bed.

The staff were very friendly and allowed us to check in when the room was ready. They had crackers, cheese, salami, fruit and wine daily in the afternoon and they served a nice breakfast. Also, the room had blackout curtains and a fan to circulate the air. It was warm outside the room and was told by another guest that upstairs was extremely warm. The location was perfect for walking to the beaches, wharf and boardwalk.

The staff was warm, friendly, and extremely helpful. Wine and cheese in the afternoon and a delicious breakfast in the AM were scrumptious. We will definitely be returning. 5 plus stars!!

Perfect place for a couples get-away

Came here with my husband to celebrate our one year anniversary. Our room was absolutely stunning with a beach front view and balcony right outside the window. They have a cute and complimentary wine and cheese hour in the late afternoon. We enjoyed a glass of wine on their front porch and watched the waves. Top balcony is excellent for viewing the sunrise, and their breakfast had a good variety of eggs, toasts, home made cinnamon bread, granola and yogurt. I appreciated that it was all vegetarian friendly!

Lovely one night stay

We loved our stay. we stayed in the smallest room and there was still plenty of room if you’re just planning to lay your head down to stay the night. The staff was really friendly. The wine and cheese was very nice with a great place to sit. The cheese and crackers were good. I would not recommend the wine, the breakfast, however, was very good the museli and the homemade granola were amazing. It was a great little overnight, so easy to get to from Silicon Valley.

Great location, beautiful hotel.

We loved our stay. The hotel itself is an old home that has been exquisitely restored. From our room, to the sitting area, with a view of the ocean, to the balcony upstairs, with an even more amazing view, and the porch to sit on in front, it was lovely. The homemade cookies that greeted us upon arrival were delicious, as well as our breakfasts in the morning. And every single one of the staff members was attentive to our every need.

Amazing location right across the street from the wharf where you can get some dinner and see the sea lions perched on the pier supports. The room had a great view, absolutely amazing marble bathroom... complimentary wine and cheese in the afternoon, fresh baked cookies when we arrived, great breakfast in the morning.

Lovely hotel with rude staff

I would have given a higher score had it not been for Stella at reception. Rude attitude, unhelpful in resolving the issue of the hotel charging us despite the fact that Hotels.com had paid already. The other person, the young man on another day, was helpful, friendly, and informative. The hotel itself is lovely with character and great 5 PM wine and cheese reception.

Romantic Stay

This has been an amazing stay. We had a beautiful room and our host who showed us around did a great job. He gave us recommendations for restaurants and other things to do. We will definitely be back. Breakfast was a basic continental breakfast with a specialty item. It could have use a protein

There are not words to describe the beauty and old world charm of the West Cliff Inn. From the moment I arrived I felt at home. They have welcome cookies waiting on your bed, the afternoon wine is amazing and has plenty of snack options, and the home cooked breakfast each morning was amazing. We aren’t talking just pastries, which they have, we are talking blueberry poppy seed Dutch baby and a vegetable frittata. The area is extremely walkable to the pier which has tons of dining options and shopping. You can also walk along the ocean to the lighthouse. Very close to the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk as well which makes for nightime fun in the arcade. It is off a busy street so there is some traffic noise, however, once you sit outside watching the sunset over the ocean, who cares?

Location Location and Classy!

Off season rates made this stay possible for us and we hope to book with them in the future. Location-Walk to Boardwalk, beaches, pier, or West Cliff. Breakfast choices in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon were delightful. Like that the breakfast and happy hour were serve yourself and that there were individual small tables inside and chairs on the balcony to enjoy the goodies. It is nice to have things served on real dishware and not paper plates.

Beautiful hotel, amazing breakfast and very nice wine and appetizers in the afternoon. Only drawback was a very warm fireplace we couldn’t turn off. Was 77 degrees akl night which was a little warm for our taste. But overall, a beautiful property.

The Inn is a beautiful building with large, comfortable rooms. We enjoyed the bed and breakfast aspect and being able to meet and socialize with the other guests. Wine and cheese, coffee, cookies, soft drinks are nice touches. We will be back!

Very comfortable accommodations. Smallish room but very well appointed. Glass glasses in the large marble bathroom with plenty of counter space for ice bucket and drink mixing. Real ceramic coffee mugs at the in-room Keurig station. Mini fridge and large armoire for storage. A little short on horizontal surfaces for stuff and only one chair but not enough of a problem for a downgrade. They really made us feel welcome.

Classy, spacious, & stone’s throw from the boardwa

This little gem was amazing!
Super close to the wharf and the boardwalk! Free on-site parking was so convenient!
I loved the Victorian Mansion beauty and decor! The bathroom was breathing and mostly marble. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were perfect.
I reserved the private patio with the hot tub!
Very classy place!

Nice location

Great place to stay with a group of friends or family. Friendly, clean, and great view. A little pricey so do your research. This has rooms on all 3 floors. No elevator.

Gorgeous & comfortable, historic Victorian

The West Cliff fan is an amazing place to stay. The bed was very comfortable and the jetted bathtubs are fabulous! Big sash windows allow the fresh ocean breeze into the room. There are comfy chairs on the front deck and upstairs patio looking to the view across the street of the beach & boardwalk. Breakfast was amazing and so are the cookies. Only a short walk down the hill to the wharf, beach, & boardwalk. Walk or ride up West Cliff Drive to see the view from the cliffs and watch the surfers.

Honeymoon Trip

The Inn is a converted old historic house. Our room was great for the most part. We had an issue with the water in our shower; brought it to their attention and was fixed by the end of the day. They took an extra step and gifted us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience.

The wine and cheese that is offered daily was amazing. We would sit in the front parlor and sometimes visit with the other guests. We had some really great conversations and even received some great marriage advice.

The staff are kind and accommodating.

Breakfast was served as a basket to the room. A bit shifting in content and quality. First morning very good, but next it was more or not just sweet cake. Lacked a more healthy alternative (or any alternative for me that cannot eat things like that, something they had been informed about).
Otherwise a very nice place!
