A very nice place to stay and would recommend it for the beautiful location, comfortable and beautiful room and excellent breakfast. The Inn’s pet policy worked against as disrespectful neighbors with two loud dogs kept leaving them in the room and they wouldn’t stop barking. This fairly ruined an otherwise really great stay. For the price you are paying they should rethink their pet policy. In fairness we were slightly mcompensated after the fact of having to complain twice becoming people we didn’t want to on what should have been relaxing. If you book here, make sure you are in the main house away from potential issues.

Very, very loud door closing from housekeeping and guest doors. Very loud conversations throughout house heard from bedroom. No pillow options beyond think, big “that’s all we have” Room not turned over, once. Bathroom sink faucet loose, falling forward. Chipped bathroom door requiring touch up paint. Kitchen hardwood floor wet and slippery from outdoor elements not tended to. ***Front steps not shoveled or salted- very dangerous. All very subpar and not meeting Michelin Key standards in which to exceed guest expectations.

I loved everything about The Cliffside Inn. At first, I didn’t love my room because I didn’t realize I had booked a room with a staircase leading to the bathroom. The staff quickly found us a new and better room. I always looked forward to breakfast every morning as there was always something new and delicious to feast on, and I loved the idea of wine hour!! Loved all the fireplaces throughout the common area and the bedrooms. The staff was always friendly and very accommodating. I was sad to leave but my husband and I will definitely come back! Will definitely recommend the Cliffside Inn!!

The Inn was just what we hoped for. The rooms were beautiful and extremely clean. It was so convenient to have a well appointed breakfast each morning in the Inn before heading out for the day. The walk to the Cliff Walk was just a block to the water. The staff were accommodating but not in your face every minute. At times we felt like the Inn was our private home - we wish! We will definitely be back soon!
