The decor and private garden were nice, as was the self-service pantry on the 2nd floor. The destination fee was a little annoying on top of the proxy room rate, as the credit for the bar was not useful for one member of our party who does not drink. Very convenient to Old Port.

We had an amazing stay at Cliffhouse and were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful it is. The only minor issues we encountered were that the pullout couch was quite uncomfortable for our kids, and it was frustrating that children aren’t allowed in the main pool—everyone with kids ends up crowded around a small pool off to the side. Aside from that, everything else was fantastic!

We loved the property - so classic and elegant. The breakfast was especially lovely with plenty of options. We had quiche straight out of the oven. When we came in at night, there was a plate of homemade chocolate chip cookies waiting for guests. Lots of parking was available, a huge bonus since there is no parking in the town. The staff was very attentive, even answered questions that we texted while away from the hotel. We will definitely be back again.
