  • Inn Details

    Situated on a bluff across from the beach, West Cliff Inn is a Four Sisters Inn and was built as a private home in 1877. Fully remodeled two years ago, the stately, three-story Italianate Victorian with its spacious, wraparound porch features a breezy, coastal décor with fabrics in crisp blues and whites. All but one of the ten well-appointed guest rooms feature a fireplace, marble tile bathrooms, and most with jetted spa tubs and king beds featuring plush pillow-top mattresses. One second-floor room has a private, outdoor jetted hot tub; two spacious top-floor suites have separate sitting areas and oversized bathrooms. Each room has high-speed Internet access, an iPod™ player, and a television with a DVD player.

    This is a wonderful place to stay and relax. It is by far the best hotel/bed and breakfast in Santa Cruz. Having lived in nearby Scotts Valley for 20 years and then returning as a tourist I can say that the locals love the Inn and were so glad when the property was renovated about 10 years ago. I've been back to stay several times. It's a great location and quiet for being centrally located to the beach across the street, West Cliff drive which is a walking path all along the beach front down to Natural Bridges, the boardwalk, 30 mins from Monterey and blocks from downtown Santa Cruz. It's a beautifully restored Victorian mansion with ambiance, personality, clean and cozy. The staff is friendly and helpful and always make my stay memorable with a handwritten birthday note and balloons in my room. The breakfasts are delightful, tasty and a special treat. You won't want to leave and you will want to come back!

    Room was clean, nice, very small "Deluxe King", on second floor - small windows,which open onto public deck/balcony, so cannot have open if people are on deck. Loved the home-baked cookies available all the time, also very nice wine and cheese/goodies in afternoon. Breakfast was lovely, very good, simple. Staff was one college student who did not know much, not even where wharf was, never saw anyone else. Good location as easy walk to wharf and boardwalk. Very pretty place, well kept.


    Very friendly staff

    Our stay at the West Cliff Inn was extremely enjoyable. The room was beautiful and comfortable. My wife especially liked the bathroom. We were close to the wharf and the view from the Inn was spectacular. Will definitely be back....

    The top floor room was lovely as was the bathroom. Thought for the most expensive room there, we would have the best room. The windows were super small, would recommend remodeling windows to increase lovely view. Outside street noise was super loud, hard to sleep, not much you can do about that I think. Day bed/couch cover had burn marks in them which was pretty gross. Breakfast smells woke me up at 5am they were so strong in our room, not sure you can do much about that either but the smell of meat frying was extremely strong, would recommend a better ventilation system in kitchen as guests may not want to continue to smell food so strong for hours at a time!
