    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.

    Room 12 was amazing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Area was quite. Breakfast was good. Cookies tasted fantastic. Bed was comfortable. Parking is tight, not really enough space for a full size truck. Was a little stuffy in the room, there is no air conditioning, just fans. Shower head was a little small, could use a bigger one.

    Beautiful property! Amazing location. Parking on site. We could walk everywhere. Very friendly staff. Wonderful wine&cheese hour. Breakfast was delicious. Loved it! We never could get the fireplace to work, but it was warm so we really didn’t need it.

    Beautiful and very accommodating staff I like everything

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The breakfast is great, staff is amazing and very accommodating. We were even able to rent bikes and cruise around the area. It’s close to the boardwalk, but just far enough to have some peace and quiet. The sitting room looks out over the ocean and is truly amazing. Nothing, it is the perfect hotel!

    Everything. One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. Highly recommend. Nothing

    We stayed at West Cliff Inn a week ago and were surprised to find it didn’t have air conditioning which means we had to choose to either be way to hot or leave the windows open and it be loud and bright. So while the beds were comfortable we didn’t sleep at all while we were there. Proximity to the beach, Ward and board walk are amazing. However, someone did break into our rental car and steal $250 from our golf bag. That’s our bad for leaving clubs in the car but it is a bummer that the facilities are not secure in any way. The breakfast is just a continental breakfast and is over marketed as something much fancier and one of the staff told me the wine and cheese is just from Costco so not local pairings as I would have expected. Overall, it was advertised as a boutique experience but really it was pretty generic and just over priced for the location.

    Cute boutique hotel in historic house. Walking distance to beach and boardwalk. Breakfast was decent, but had limited selections. Room was very spacious and had lovely little patio. Lack of AC was a bit of a challenge after a long hot workday and without screens on windows I ended up with a couple annoying flies in the room with me.

    Came for my dad's funeral needed an extra night, told I was comped, instead I was put in the most expensive room and given a 25% discount. When I return around 9pm that night from the funeral to park a $100,000 rental car there was no parking, three other separate parties staying at the hotel were in the same boat, when I called the emergency line for all of us, I was given massive attitude and told to kick rocks. When I woke up to attend the second service and check out in my rented suit I was charged an extra $700. This hotel went from being my happiest place on earth to the scum of it. Thank you for ruining my week. That extra $700 you took from me for a room that I entered at a blistering 87 degrees at 9 pm (NO AC EITHER THANKS GUYS) could have come in handy when I returned home from this funeral to find my car stolen. I will never come here again. Thanks Mary. Thanks Shantae.

    There were a number of flies in the room. First day no hot shower. Second day, either water was too hot or too cold. Room was not private at all and second night was quite nosy all night. Breakfast was good. I did not feel safe at night
