North Cliff Hotel

We just got home after spending 4 day at the North Cliff, room was very nice and the bed was wonderful. My wife and I come to Ft Bragg several times a year and normally stay on the north side of town, we wanted something different so I booked a Superior Suite. It was large and roomy breakfast was good. Will stay again!

What a cozy hotel! Our room had a lovely water view, was spacious, and was clean. Some of the furnishings in the room could be updated but it was in good condition. The hotel is centrally located but on a busy highway which seems to be the norm in Fort Bragg. Parking is limited during peak busy times, however it was nice that the parking lot was a bit removed from the highway. I think the hotel should disclose the foghorn that goes off every 30 seconds. We didn’t mind it for the most part but it could bother light sleepers or folks that like to leave their sliding door open when relaxing. Ear plugs were also provided. The grab-and-go breakfast was no frills. I appreciated that it was available and did use it. In terms of service, the older woman who helped us book a separate night was extremely helpful. The younger woman who checked us in was kind of rude and did not have a hospitable demeanor. Overall, would recommend for a comfortable stay in Fort Bragg.

Stayed at the North Cliff Hotel in early August (Friday–Saturday) and paid about $650 for two nights. Overall it was borderline adequate for a short stay. The wifi only worked for a few hours during my stay, which normally wouldn’t be a big deal, but I had an unexpected car issue and had to sit in the lobby to handle it because cell reception in the area is poor. So do not expect to have connectivity of staying here. The biggest drawback is the location overlooking the port entrance. The fog horn — which I didn’t see mentioned much when I booked — goes off every 30 seconds, 24/7/365. It’s not a classic nice nautical low foghorn sound either; it’s a digital tone like a modern school bell, and while it’s tolerable with the balcony door closed, it’s definitely noticeable and makes it hard to enjoy the otherwise nice view. No AC (also not clearly advertised), though the room wasn’t hot enough to be a problem. I ended up using the provided fan both to keep cool and to help mask the fog horn. Fixtures and furniture could use some updating — nothing terrible, but a bit worn. On the plus side, the staff were nice and genuinely tried their best to be accommodating and helpful. Overall, a mediocre stay. The value is definitely not there, and it’s not somewhere I’d be in a rush to book again, especially for the price.
