All the positive comments in other reviews apply. Tricia & Valerie & staff are awesome. Some things I didn't know: 1. They have coffee & b'fast pastries available at front desk; 2. Rooms have Bluetooth speakers; 3. Water is drinkable from the tap; 4. Their in-room coffee maker is very good; and 5. The hotel is independently owned & operated. People who complain about the spa not being connected to the main facility & sauna not being that good are being unreasonable. Ignore the negative comments. This is one of the most beautiful places in New England. I'll keep going back.

My friend and I came here for lunch on a December Saturday afternoon. The two of us sat at the bar…read moreand were helped by the male bartender with the ravishing eyes (I'm sure he knows who he is - lol). My friend loves the supper rolls, so we started there and I got a cup of clam chowder. The portions were big and the chowder was a great flavor and consistency - not too thick or too runny. The drinks we ordered were also really good. I made the mistake of getting a regular espresso martini and my friend got the special one with the horchata. I tasted hers and immediately hated myself because it was so good! I had a really well made rye manhattan afterwards - that guy can mix a great drink! And, the cocktail glasses were so classy! 1 star was removed because I ordered the mussels as my entrée and they came out when I was barely halfway into my soup. That is a big pet peeve of mine as I like to finish my appetizer, sit for a few minutes, and then go to the main course. I don't love it when the main is sitting there getting cold as I'm trying to finish my first course. For that reason, I sent them back. They looked great, so I would really like to go back at some point and try them. The restaurant was really good overall, so I definitely want to come back.

The rooms are great size, so clean, the beds are so comfy. The owner is so friendly each time we come. Its a place that will always stick with us and always be the place to go when we wanna come to Maine. We tell everyone we know about it. We love the fact that theres a little greenery area with tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy the view of the ocean, you look outside your room even and you have the most beautiful views. A total recommendation for this place. If You wanna make the most of your trip, come here!

Stayed at the Union Bluff Hotel and attended a wedding in one of their Meeting spaces. All staff…read morewere pleasant. Reception sure had to put up with some very cranky customers. With two weddings in house, there were a lot of demands from guests. Still, reception kept a smile and was always pleasant. There are board games near reception in the lobby that you can borrow as a hotel guest. The lobby includes a comfortable seating area, ATM, merch, entrance to their restaurant and bar, and restrooms are down the hall. An elevator leads up to the floors above where guest rooms are located. They also have guest rooms in two nearby buildings. One of those buildings includes balconies overlooking the ocean. Our room, in the main building had an ocean view if you put a chair next to the window and looked out. The bar and restaurant offers a variety of menu items including salad entrees, beers on tap, full bar, coffee and dessert. We ate there a couple of times during our stay. Staff were well trained and the food is fresh and tasty. The parking lot behind the main building is dirt without 'lines' to get as many cars as possible in so some days there were more spaces than others and we often saw guests circling, waiting for a spot. There are handicap spots there with a dirt/gravel walkway street side, then toward the back entrance where you will find an elevator down the hall to the lobby. Otherwise, there is a short staircase from parking to the back entrance. 'Drop off' at the lobby door is literally 'in the street'. No parking there, just drop off, then circle round to park. Parking is also available in front and back of building #2, a small dirt lot is next to the hotel lawn and a few designated hotel parking spots are street side. Just be sure you are in a hotel spot so you don't get ticketed by the town. Our room was clean, but had an odd smell. I went into town and purchased some essential oil spray and a candle which I used throughout our stay. The original building on this site burned down, so I can't blame the smell on an old building, but it's not exactly new either, and it is by the sea so it may be damp. The room included a small table and two chairs, a coffee/tea area with mini-fridge, and plenty of single use toiletries. We did ask housekeeping for additional hand towels during our visit. The bed and linens were comfortable. Towels soft and absorbent. I shower in the evening and it did take a bit of time for hot water to arrive, but once there, it was plentiful. No complaints about water pressure. We kept the window open for a sea breeze so not sure how the AC performs. The wedding staff were very pleasant and the bride and groom seemed quite happy with their event. A wedding on the lawn overlooking the sea was set up the night before. The ballroom used for reception is lovely with restrooms on site, indoor and outdoor bar and plenty of staff on hand for the open bar and passed hors d'oeuvres. The patio outside was partially shaded. Inside has AC. The plated meals were very good. Other event spaces are available in this building plus guest suites. There is a lawn directly across the street from the lobby with lounge chairs for guests to use. The public beach is down a slight slop from the lawn and is quite large with soft sand and some rocky areas that are good for small kids to search for sea creatures. The town of York is right outside the door with lots of gift shops and restaurants. We enjoyed exploring the town as well as nearby sights.

I stayed August 23-25 with my daughters, ages two and four. It was our first vacation together and…read moretheir first time at the beach -- two nights, close to $1,500. Our room was directly above a wedding reception. The bass came up through the floor and I could hear every song start to finish. My girls normally go to bed at 7:30; they were awake well past ten. I texted the front desk and was told the music would end at ten. Nobody offered to move us and nobody offered anything else. Both girls were exhausted and miserable the next day, which was our only full day here. The dining room and the pub are good -- and that's part of the problem. Both were booked solid, and the people waiting for tables were not hotel guests. Everyone I spoke to had come from somewhere else to eat here. As someone paying roughly $750 a night to stay on the property, I couldn't get a table at my own hotel. If you book a room, book your dinners at the same time, because staying here gets you nothing at the door. Checkout was worse. Valet was required on arrival because of the wedding -- the valet driver and the front desk both told me so -- and nobody mentioned it wouldn't be running Tuesday morning. Our room was in the Meeting House, so I loaded both girls into a double stroller, hung the beach chair and bag off it, put on a full backpack, and dragged a suitcase two blocks to the main building, through second-floor hallways so packed with luggage carts I could barely get the stroller past them. At the desk I was told there was no valet and I'd have to push all of it up the street and around the building to reach my car. No offer of help. I was then directed to second-floor parking access that turns out to have stairs on the other side -- impossible with a stroller -- so we turned around and did it the long way. I wrote to the general manager. Her response is worth knowing if you're considering booking: On the noise: quiet hours begin at 10 PM, the music ended before then, and so guest rooms "including those occupied by families with children" remain available for booking during wedding events. On valet: she said it isn't mandatory. That is not what I was told at the property. On being left to carry two toddlers and all our luggage two blocks, and being sent to a stairs-only door: no response, beyond noting it had been shared with the management team for review. She declined to refund the ruined night and offered $163.50 -- the facility fee plus 10%. If you're traveling with small children, ask whether a wedding is booked the night you're staying, because the hotel's stated position is that they'll put you above it. Ask what happens at checkout. Reserve your meals in advance. The beach is beautiful. Everything else was a fight.

The rooms are definitely old but our bed was comfortable, clean and updated appearance to the beds and linens, and the tv/coffee maker/etc were all nice to have. We had two double beds and it was comfortably sized (along with a little cafe type table and 2 chairs). The tub is old. Clean but old. Tub and toilet are in the bathroom, the vanity/sink are outside of the bathroom - just for reference. This worked well for us, and can work well for families trying to shower/get ready separately but simultaneously. Location is fantastic. Right across from the gorgeous ocean. Roaring waves, beautiful sounds and sights. I loved the location. Plenty of restaurants, even off-season, to visit VERY close by. Nubble light is in view from the hotel (and is just minutes away by car). Gorgeous. They have a little bar/cafe inside the office/pool building. The bar is pricey in a way that makes zero sense. Bartender, while nice, probably isn't a bartender at all and is just assisting in that area as there was really no knowledge of beverages to make/mix and no rhyme or reason to pricing. No where to sit to enjoy them unless you sit in the pool area which is WARM (heated pool, so it's nice for swimmers) and noisey as all get out if there are many swimming. Pool seemed nice, though we didn't use it (outdoor pool is closed right now due to the season). All in all, we would stay again. Our rooms were ready VERY early (so great) and we received text messages to alert us, so we were able to check in well before our time and we appreciated that a lot.

The lobby has beautiful decor and the view over the cliff is fantastic. Every floor has a Maine Station- which includes a coffee station, 3 water options, and some fruit. Our room was spectacular and had a view over the cliff. It was not warm outside so unfortunately we weren't able to use the outside pools. For what I could tell there are 2 outdoor pools, one indoor pool and a larger hot tub. There seems to be a lot of weddings there. I believe like 3-4 a weekend. The grounds were very well cared for and there were different activities throughout the day you could participate in. The location is a little remote which is nice, but hard to explore being that it was our first time in Maine. The food was pretty good for the most part. We liked the food better at The Tiller than Nubb's. The drinks are really tasty, but can get spendy. We overall really enjoyed our visit and stay at Cliff House. Rating would be 4.25

We, as long as others, were doing laps around the main lot and the mini lot for the Harbor Hill Inn trying to find a spot. We ended up having to park on the street because there were not enough spots at Harbor Hill. When checking in, we were told there are enough spots for each room, yet the lot for our Inn was completely full. We were also told that if we found a spot, we shouldn't move the car. We wanted to explore the area more, so we did have to leave, it is odd to me that an Inn doesn't have a better parking situation for Inn patrons. We thought it would be fun to go to the pub for apps and a drink before our dinner reservation at the main restaurant. Unfortunately, we were met with an hour long wait for 2 at the pub. I do find it interesting when an Inn doesn't open up reservations or spots for their own guests to dine, rather than locals. When we did go to our dinner reservation, we had a nice time. Our waiter was helpful. When the food came, they brought out a wrong dish. The boy that brought it out told us he wished we said something before he put it on the table because now the dish couldn't be used. We weren't able to tell it wasn't the right dish until it was in front of us.... we then waiting 15 minutes for the right food to come out. Our waiter had them remake my meal as well since it got cold, which was nice. The food was great once we finally had it. They also comped 50% of the wrong dish which was also nice. After dinner we had drinks and headed back to our room to go to bed. A phone call woke us up. It was the front desk; they told us that "Someone came into the lobby furious that our room is being so loud. They said that last night, this morning and this evening we have been ridiculously loud." I told the person on the other line that we have been asleep in bed, and we only checked in this evening. I find it curious that the front desk wouldn't look who was in the room and if we had even been there the day prior. Then, instead of offering an apology, they said "well do you hear any noise?" I said earlier the room next to us was making some noise but nothing like they are describing. They then said, "well which side, right or left?" I said I do not know I need to go back to bed. Pretty unbelievable, and something that hasn't even happened to me at a cheap hotel. I wish I walked away feeling better about our stay, but it is in a beautiful location...

The breakfast in the morning was not that great outside of the coffee and eggs ... so we weren't that impressed with that.

Bed was comfy. Loved the accent lighting above the bed. Super cute inside and out. It was a great repurpose of an old outdoor motel from back in the day. I love how they flipped it and made the old hallways the balcony. Stupid smart design idea. In room coffee maker is freaking cool as hell! It's like an automatic pour over machine that oscillates over the coffee to get it all soaked. Loves it!!! Yes he does! The sunrises are amazing!! Check those out for sure if you stay here.

I believe they upgraded recently from physical keys to electronic key cards which was a nice addition. The only negative here is the food for me. I get the theming, but Lulu's is just too out there. You can sit for a decent drink but the menu has never had something I would try. I think there could be a happy medium between tiki and comfort classics. You'll need to walk down to stones throw for a decent bite to eat.
