This is a gem and love the fact they are dog friendly. We stay here offer but this was first time staying with our fur baby Dino. Plenty of open areas for dogs to have potty breaks and plenty of dogs to have social time. The room was clean and the staff were exceptional. Love the fact breakfast is included with your stay as it allows for a nice relaxing morning on property. We will definitely be back soon! read more

I don't know why they call themselves a "hotel." This is not a hotel; it's a MOtel. It's basically a glorified motel. The photos online make it look a lot nicer than it actually is. Putting aside the staff, who were very nice and accommodating to me, the place itself was such a disappointment to me. I had to leave early because my elderly dog became very sick so I had to shorten my stay. And the staff was very accommodating for me about that, so I give 5 stars to the staff. But I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer anyway because I was so disappointed in the room. There was no air conditioning, the room had a weird odor, the tv was archaic (no smart TVs- just switching blindly between channels), very thin walls and you could hear every sound, low pressure shower, loud crickets outside the door, did not feel clean, old rickety furniture with drawers that kept sliding open, etc. I read some reviews online talking about the bugs in the rooms (ants and roaches). One guy woke up with bumps on his legs. I didn't see any bugs in my room but I wouldn't sleep in the bed- just on top. It just did not feel clean. I wish I had checked the reviews before booking. As for not feeling the bed was clean, in the morning I woke up with half a bandaid stuck on my back with a blood spot on it. Where that came from, I don't know. So gross. And I got woken up at 6am by a garbage truck sounding its "beep-beeps" in the parking lot. Not a good stay. I couldn't wait to leave. I don't understand any of the 4- or 5-star reviews. These reviews are either fake or by people who are used to janky places. This is a 2-star place at best. And again, this is not a hotel- it's a motel. When I left I felt like I just got out of Motel 6. I will never come back. Very nice staff though- I'll say that. Thank you but no thank you. read more

This is a beautiful little hotel that is Spanish style. We got in late and didn't get a chance to walk around the property. They served a continental breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, make your own waffles. Peet's Coffee was also offered and that made me happy. It was reasonable in price. Book early because we tried to extend our stay and the hotel was full. read more

I spoke with Blanca yesterday as she reached out regarding our negative experience last Sunday in staying at HMB Lodge. She was extremely professional and apologetic as she personally checked our room and didn't experience ants or toxic smell so I'm assuming just a weird situation. Bottom line, I appreciate the follow up so no future guest(s) experience this. The problem has been resolved and I look forward to our next stay! read more

My fiancée and I spent one night here. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The front desk employee was friendly and helpful. I don't remember her name, however she educated us on all the amenities and recommended some restaurants to us. I think it's really cool that they offer complimentary bikes for the first 2 hours. We didn't get a chance to ride their bikes but hopefully next time ! The fire pit and outdoor seating area was quite relaxing. I always appreciate a complimentary breakfast. The food and beverage choices were solid. Our room had a spacious patio with a nice view of the golf course. Now comes the negative and it has to do with the appearance of the room we stayed in. Some areas of the wall, had chipped paint. The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner, to be more specific, around the sink, ceiling and window. While showering, I observed dead ants stuck on the ceiling above the shower and along the window. Just not a good look. These things weren't deal breakers, but I definitely recommend a little more attention to detail when preparing these rooms for the next guests. With all that being said, I would come back to the HMB Lodge! read more

(3/5) I called ahead to confirm early arrival with pool access so I could work while waiting for our room and was told "Of course!" But when we arrived, the front desk refused and said they'd text when ready -- not until 3 PM. I worked in my car while my husband took the kids to the beach, and my laptop died. That night at 8:30 PM, I got a noise complaint call about "stomping," even though we weren't loud. Spent the rest of the trip telling my kids to tiptoe. The property is clean with older bathrooms, good breakfast (eggs, sausage, waffles), a heated pool, and a nice fire pit. Staff was available but not especially friendly. Overall, a mixed stay -- 3/5. read more

Staying here at the moment for only 1 night but it feels kinda sketch. The hotel is right behind the chapel off of highway 1. I got lost trying to find the main entrance as I was driving after sunset. I was going round and round in circles bc of the lack of street lightning. We booked a king bed for $150 and the room feels like any typical hotel room. But there are definitely some spots that can be updated like the windows and bathtub. As part of my hotel inspection (as I've seen other people do online when first checking into a room) is to check all the closets and behind the curtains in case someone else is in the room before me and I found someone's pair of clothes underneath my bed... The following morning, I had breakfast at the fireside room that overlooks the pool area and it is very cozy, the furniture and tables are arranged very nicely. The food options are pretty standard. Some eggs, sausage, fruit, bagels, and oatmeal. However, I guess if you are not a morning person then don't book here bc there was a worker banging on EVERY guest door at 8am. I was like "is someone's suitcase being dragged across the ground but noooooooo, someone is literally aggressively knocking at people's doors". Not sure what they were looking for and if this was for only today or it is just a regular occurrence here that I don't know. read more

Came here for Sunday evening stay. My kids loved the fire pit for s'mores and the hot tub. The complimentary breakfast with board games for children was much appreciated. I wish there was a water fountain or station though...the only one was in the breakfast room and it was empty. Overall good stay, I'd go back. read more

This is a lovely facility for a great price! The rooms and staff are very nice. Several outdoor seated areas with fire pits. There's a pool, spa and outdoor games for kids and adults. Breakfast was very good too. Golf course is right next door if you like to golf. We'll be back for sure! read more

We stayed here for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary, Great little property with really amazing outdoor amenities. Year round heated pool (which was amazing) plus the hot tub, exterior fire pits, sauna , etc. They have a very nice continental breakfast but it's nicer than a continental as described. Rooms are very nicely appointed and large in size. Our rooms heating system was inferior (wall heaters very confusing) and should be upgraded. Our rooms bathroom was outdated but clean. Please immediately stop using one ply toilet paper.This is simply not acceptable. Would definitely come back again! read more

We stayed here for 1 night. I was initially worried due to some of the reviews on here, but it was way better than I expected. The lobby was very cute and the ladies were very helpful with everything. The room was much bigger and nicer than I expected. We got room 239, which was a Deluxe King with a fireplace and there was a balcony, I'd recommended this room. The reason I took 1 star off was because there was a weird tapping noise throughout the night and we couldn't quite figure out what it was, but I still managed to fall asleep. The bed was super comfortable and the fireplace added a nice ambiance. Overall, I would recommend if you're looking for a place to stay for the night in HMB! read more

This place is so clean and beautiful. The staff are very friendly. It's in a great location.

This lodge was clean, comfortable, had just about everything my friends and I needed, and the grounds were well maintained. The good: The sauna, The heated pool and large jacuzzi, with clean stocked towels for hotel guests The gym A few lawn games A complimentary continental breakfast from 7am-10am You can rent a bike from the lodge for 2 complimentary hours, A tasty restaurant (Joe's Ristorante) that shares the parking with the lodge Heaters you can turn on near an outside seating area Two seating areas that have fire-pits It's next to Cloud Spa, a massage salon Could've been better: We saw the jacuzzi on all day, bubbles and all, but when it was our turn to use in the evening, the jets wouldn't turn on. Luckily the heat in the jacuzzi did work though. I would 100% stay there again and am happy to have found this place. read more

The room and the grounds were nothing like their website The room looked like it had used old furniture and a foul smell. The grounds needed TLC on their Landscape. read more

Staff was kind and helpful at check in. Nice room and grounds. Loved having a balcony. Would stay again.

We were excited to change hotels and try something new. We travel with a beautiful Golden Retriever who is such a gentleman, not a barker, jumper and such a sweet boy. When we arrived we received a packet stating we are never to leave our dog alone in the room. This is a first. He has his own fluffy bed, doesn't jump on furniture, or beds, so at times we may leave to grab a bite, walk around the premises, pool or spa. THIS NEWS WAS A TOTAL TURN OFF!! The hotel is old, and needs work. Our door had such a big gap underneath I could see the pavement. We had to put a towel at the bottom to keep the draft out. The heater is built into the wall, and when I touched the wall, it was HOT! I WAS AFRAID OF A FIRE STARTING. The sliding door was hard to open and close. They were doing some major roof renovations, so it was noisy. The breakfast was good, eggs were light and fluffy, but the sausage tasted like cardboard. Please bring your own doggy bags, theirs tear easily. read more

What a wonderful place! Went to Pescadero and decided to spend some time here first. Great location and close enough to take Uber from downtown half moon bay. Our room was clean, spacious and even had a fireplace! So beautiful! When we needed help trying to figure out the fire, the staff came super quickly with some supplies for us. In the morning, they had a yummy buffet with plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor, so that provided great variety and options. Lots of choices of food too! The lodge is clean, the facilities were all very well taken care of, and it is all kept up and fresh. Would definitely stay here again if I was in the area! read more

First off, DO NOT let the PICTURES posted online DECEIVE you. This hotel's is far beyond the pictures posted online. My husband and I stayed two nights and our experience in Half Moon Bay took a turn due to the experience we encountered at this hotel. Yes, the room was tidied up upon our arrival. The furniture is OUTDATED. Horrible channel options, the majority of the channels were commercials. The room was beyond freezing and the heater system was not enough to support the square footage of the room. The heaters they have only heats up the wall. Our room had a fireplace which was nice but the fire logs they provide doesn't not last more than an hour. I don't know about you guys but I love warm water and great water pressure. The water in the shower is cold even when you have it at the hottest option. The water pressure is also TERRIBLE. The tub was not cleaned properly. My husband also noticed ants in the shower. There were also a great amount of ANTS along the wall and on the dresser where the tv sits. We decided to tell the front lobby and they stated they would go check up on the issue. But their main concern was if the ants were trying to get any food. Regardless of eating in a hotel I have never experienced that amount of ants or this issue in particular. They SOMEWHAT cleaned up the ant situation but there was still ants. The bed also was not that comfortable or the cleanest. My husband woke up with bumps on his legs and back. Instead of splurging on false pictures of the property for their advantage they should invest in remodeling the property and prioritize cleanliness. read more

The stay, and customer service was amazing! The room was huge with a fireplace, and a balcony facing the golf course. You get to free logs per night for the fireplace, it has a refrigerator, and if you need a microwave they will bring one to your room. There's a restaurant in the parking lot, or you can drive about 5 mins away to find a couple of eateries. *two free logs. For some reason I can't back arrow to make correction from my phone* I would definitely stay here again. read more

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Half Moon Bay Lodge. The front desk was very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed the pool, spa, and loved having a fireplace in our room! That's a must! They even had kid sized robes for pool time. The breakfast they served had variety and was delish! We only stayed one night and wished we had two to enjoy the beautiful grounds. There are multiple outdoor fires to sit by, s'mores kits for purchase and more (alcohol for purchase). We can't wait to go back! read more

Escape from the valley heat: Worth it!!! Needed to get away with the pup for the weekend and found this gem. Surprised about all the negative reviews as our stay was amazing!

Just what we needed and we'll definitely be back!!!! read more

This is an outdated and dirty Best Western type hotel at best. Prices were driven up due to a wedding, so nightly prices were completely incomparable to the level of comfort. Our room was also a mess upon arrival and the foldable crib we received for our baby was stained all over and filthy. I wiped it down and my wipe was brown. Do not stay here if you have a choice. The manager did not help us with the price except for a minor discount on the first night. I only have a photo of the white sticky substance on our dresser which I wiped down. read more

So...for over $300.00 I WOULD NOT ever stay here. For $85-$100, I would. I'll explain. There were minor annoyances that for $300+ a night, you shouldn't have to deal with. Deal breakers? Yes, but only at that price. The floor in the room is obviously uneven. The dresser doors were constantly coming out, without being touched. If you're getting up in the middle of the night and you forget about it, your groggy self may hit them like I did. The crack in the bath room sink was very obvious and perhaps it wasn't fixed right as it had a slight mold smell to it. The window in the bathroom is above the shower and faces the outside doors. So as people walk by, you can hear them urinating/showering etc. On our last morning ants were all over the bathroom. We did our best to kill them, with what we had. The furniture in the room is oddly placed. The fire place in our room was right in the center. The TV was on the dresser and the bed was place on the opposite wall, in between both of them. I feel like they should splurge and hang the TV on the wall above the fire place. The TV programming was awful. We were on a kid free get away, so at night my husband and I wanted to watch a movie uninterrupted. It was the old guide, where you would have to sit there and watch it, because you couldn't scroll yourself. The room was clean, but if you really looked at the fine points, it wasn't great. Dusty in areas. See pictures. The rest of the property was nice. Nothing stood out about it though. The hot tub always had an old sign that said closed, but it was weathered so you questioned if it was for the current day or not. For the amount of money you spend to stay...it just wasn't worth it. You should splurge to stay at the Ritz (which is AMAZING), or just find a cheaper hotel with the same amenities as the Half Moon Bay Lodge. read more

Had a girls weekend getaway. IRooms were decent enough. Bathroom was quaint with a lovely Mediterranean blue tile. Tub looked a little grungy so showered with my flip flops. Room was on the bottom floor so could hear the upstairs folk's walking around. Stay came with free continental breakfast which was great. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were served all day until 10 pm. The lodge is family friendly. A great place for a casual stay. We enjoyed our stay. read more

first time staying here and would give it a 3.5 with recommendations how they could easily be a strong 4. my king room with fireplace overlooking the patio/fire pit area, pool and beautiful golf course was lovely. a fridge is provided and you can request a microwave for free. breakfast is provided and was really good for basic offerings - bread, bagels, pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, sausage, juice, coffee. i was chasing great weather to enjoy the pool, hot tub and outside and that part didn't disappoint so i stayed 3 nights vs 2. everyone i encountered, even those who don't speak english, were very friendly with the exception of traci at the front desk. i encountered her many times during my stay and not once did she smile, welcome me, asked how my stay was. she should not be the first person you encounter when checking in and maybe not afterwards, not friendly, warm, etc. seems like she hates her job and you get that vibe (#1 on suggested improvements). being a perks member i received 2 waters for my stay - not 2 waters each day and no water stations on the property (#2 on suggested improvements). #3 suggested improvement is garbage cans - nowhere to be found and people left cans/bottles, etc in the parking lot. enjoyed my stay but not the top of my list to stay again w/o improvements. read more

WOW, loved it here. Comfortable bed and spacious room. We also loved the person in the front who offered to give us more bags to burn for free. Will be back! read more

For the cost I expected more. Older lodge, the beds were comfortable and pleasantly surprised by the king size towels. The room did have a keurig but sadly was stocked with decaf and tea. The continental breakfast was good, I had the oatmeal which was hot & not too thick. Good way to start the day. We were on the side of the golf course, so I was too chicken to set on the patio lol I was afraid I would get hit We did sit at the public outdoor patio that had a fireplace very comfy. read more

Great location. Clean rooms. Didn't have a microwave. There wasn't even a space for one. Was told we could use the one in the lobby. Cute little patio but we could see right into peoples homes that were on the golf course. read more

Cleanliness! The stairs were black outside....maybe from Tar on workers boots tracking up and IN on the carpet. Maintenance! NO AC? Broken lock on sliding patio screen! No way to keep it open without pushing furniture to block door.Workmen partying outside "lawlessly" all night...even after I spoke to the office staff. They brought me a fan....it was dirty too. Sink was cracked...it looked like hair...dirty tub....peobably because window over it left open to air out the room? I couldn't believe that this place is next to Ritz Carlton and that the advertisement says it's VERY clean! It was a drive to get there....thought it would be worth the price... Don't do it!!!! read more

This place is dated but has great charm and a fantastic staff. Yes the 80's called and they want this place back. The rooms are big we stayed in a suite the first time and deluxe room the last time and the deluxe room was our favorite. We stayed in room 137 last time and will request it in the future. This room is right next to the spa, fire pit and club room where they serve a limited continental breakfast every morning. There is a day spa and restaurant in the parking lot, my wife got a massage at the spa which is not affiliated with the hotel. Deluxe room was only $280 and well worth it. Only con is it's not close to the beach. Our new place to stay in Half Moon Bay! read more

A great value for a pleasant, comfortable and spacious room. Impeccably clean, linens are spotless and fresh. Nice bathrobes and good amenities. The property is nice but the people are fabulous. I met Blanca at check in-she was super welcoming and gentleman at the front desk was very helpful to let me know about the pool, breakfast, the club room etc. every time I stay at one of the Pacifica properties, I am impressed with the value for the price and the people who work at the hotel. I look forward to my next stay at this hotel. It's close to The City but it's not stressful. You can feel confident leaving your car in the parking lot. read more

We enjoyed our one-night stay here. Check-in was a breeze and our room was ready early, which was nice because we had just driven 2 hours to get there. We asked for restaurant recommendations and received a bunch, along with a map of the town. Our room was spacious, but the window in the room and the bathroom had been left open, so it was a little chilly in the room. We had a decent view of the golf course from our room, and easy parking in front. My dad and I explored the property and went over to the pool area and gym. The gym is pretty small! I would say if there's three people in there at a time that's too cramped. We didn't use it, but that's something for fitness junkies to consider. The continental breakfast was pretty standard stuff and no issues with checkout. We'll keep Half Moon Bay Lodge on our list to stay. read more

Day tripping from San Francisco doesn't have to be limited to the North Bay or East Bay locations.

If I could give negative stars I would. Where do I start? First let me say I stay at a lot of hotels and for $200 a night a for sure expected more. Covid rules were followed so my complaint has nothing to do with that. Let's start with the pros. That list is shorter. Pros: Soft beds/ bedding Pillows were super soft Cute fire place Big towels Cons: No coffee maker Refrigerator stopped working and spoiled my food Checking in the girls had to size my boyfriend and I up before barely saying hello. I asked about restaurants in the area that might be doing fine in. She rudely reminds me its covid and "some places are barley doing Togo. " wow calm down I was just asking. I get it. Room had a "sanitized" sticker on the door letting us know it was "Clean" I go to use the restroom and there's a frigging hair on the toilet. Long black hair. Oh yeah real clean. When I tell the front staff she basically shrugged and said dang sorry you know how hair floats. Wow okay thanks for that. Oh that little patio. Forget trying to relax we were on the court yard side by the pool and golf course you can hear everything so we played some music apparently that's not allowed when it's 4:30 pm and we were told to be quiet? It was the speaker on my phone really? It was not that loud. The bathrooms could be updated it's super old looking and yet again I found more hair in the bathroom the carpet is old and burned. Did I mention I saw the maid putting clean towels up while she had dirty ones on the floor? How clean are these rooms? So disappointed paid so much to come stay here and it was nothing but a $500 disappointment I could have had a spa tub In Santa Cruz. Oh and the pool towels are like hand towels so bring your own pool towel. Save your money go somewhere else you'll be happier and save money. Cannot believe the way we were treated and the extremely low quality of the rooms. read more
