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 is the best place to stay in Santa Cruz Historical house. Girl at the desk was eager to explain all the history, etc . Pier right across the street and of course the West Cliff Walk. Highly recommend. Only 9 beautifully decorated rooms … we were glad westbound several months in advance.

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!!

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.

Great location

We had stayed here before several years ago and really enjoyed the location near the pier and beach. First rate on most everything. The staff was excellent and very helpful. Only thing our room lacked was a working jacuzzi tub. We will come back.

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.

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.
