Fabulous location. Clean rooms. Continental breakfast was lacking. I expect more than granola bars & coffee. There was a toaster, but nothing to put in the toaster. No other beverages other than coffee.

Managed to stay on hottest days of the year, and while the fan helped, cross ventilation would have helped tremendously. Perhaps screen doors on western facade? Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Location perfect for avoiding chi-chi tourist towns but still enjoy the extraordinary views. Recommend with caveat that exterior ready for painting or update. Room was lovely.

Cliff Dwellers Hotel needs upgrades.
Scenery was fantastic. People were friendly. Hotel was in need of upgrades. No AC was an issue. Shower head was too low. Temperature control of water war erratic and scalding at times.
