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!

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.

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.

What a lovely place, right near the beach and Boardwalk. Super pleasant staff. Very spacious room and bath. Comfy bed. Wish we could have stayed longer than one night. Breakfast was delicious and bountiful. Only request would be to start earlier. 8:30a is late if you want to get an early start to the day. 7:30/8:00a would be better.

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.

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.

Five stars all the way. This is a BEAUTIFUL property. We loved our room, one of the nicest places we stayed in a two-week tour of California. 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. We just LOVED our stay here, highly recommend!

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.

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?

West Cliff Inn is gorgeous. The Inn itself is a historic building that is filled with old world charm. The view is across from the water/wharf and is breath-taking. 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!!

The location of this beautiful property is with a view to the beach, the ocean and it’s a 4 minutes walk. Comfortable king size bed, great night rest. Everything was clean, the staff was so kind and eager to assist us to make it a wonderful stay, and they sure made it. The breakfast was excellent with homemade baked dishes to make it delicious and special! We recommend this property!!

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

What a lovely place, right near the beach and Boardwalk. Super pleasant staff. Very spacious room and bath. Comfy bed. Wish we could have stayed longer than one night. Breakfast was delicious and bountiful. Only request would be to start earlier. 8:30a is late if you want to get an early start to the day. 7:30/8:00a would be better.

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.

West Cliff Inn is very charming and inviting. We were welcomed with a lovely happy hour and fresh cookies. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast is included and was delicious. We utilized the available bikes for a nice ride down scenic West Cliff Drive.

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.
