Motel demolition
Chad P.

We were more or less happy with this place. Typical motel customers in rooms 9 and 11 making noise like it was their first time visiting a civilization. Not the motel's fault. The room was clean and the housekeeper and front desk were friendly. Four stars if only some idiot hadn't scheduled a demolition hour and a half before check-out time.

This place appears to be newly renovated and has now become my go-to spot whenever I stay in Half Moon Bay. It's incredibly clean and modern, and the customer service was excellent. One of my pet peeves is limited hot water and poor air systems, but this place is top-notch. The bathroom heater blows very warm air, so you won't feel cold when you step out of the shower. Its location is ideal, right across from the harbor and downtown Half Moon Bay, with everything within walking distance. Other beaches are just a short drive away. I highly recommend staying here.

I read the reviews. I read them over and over. I read them broken down by 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, 4 stars, then lastly 5 stars (to keep it 100, I am germaphobic and OCD). I looked at the pictures. I determined that the hotel had not been that great in the past, they renovated, the renovation hadn't been that good for folks' stays, but -- over the past year-- since the renovation, that people had enjoyed their stays much better. I certainly did. The renovations are NICE. People complained about the price for what they got. Y'all- living our lives in CA is expensive. Get used to it. Quite frankly, including Airbnbs, this was on the lesser expensive side, and once again -- it is NICE! It is clean. It is simple while still having all of the basic things you need. I appreciate a clean, sleek look with faux-wood, laminate floors and clear surfaces that I know can get cleaned and disinfected easily. The bed is basically comfortable and the temperature in the room is good for both folks who run hot and cold. I appreciate the full length mirror in the hallway right across from a closet where I can lay my suitcase out on a suitcase rack. I can say other positive things about this spot and it's ideal location but let's be real -- this review is way too long and I already said enough for you to skim through why I gave it 5 stars, + 7 pictures.

A solid 3 stars. Truthfully my only gripe is the price of this hotel, I get it.. it's Half Moon Bay with a good location near the harbor. IMO, just a little overpriced. However, the room itself was nice. They are small rooms but come with an electric fireplace, microwave, and a fridge. All I truly appreciate. I also really like the restrooms have a heater in the ceiling fan, makes it very cozy. Check in and out was very easy. Staff was friendly. You are walking distance to the beach, bars, and restaurants. Overall a nice hotel, outside can use a little more pampering especially for the price but the rooms itself delivers.

See all

This hotel is a gem! Located right off highway 1 and close to nearby eateries and the ocean . This…read moreis a 3 story hotel and each room is a suite. They offered complementary wine in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Their breakfast was provided by nearby bakeries which was really nice to support/highlight local businesses! The hotel was clean, quiet, and staff were all very friendly. Even the interactions that we witnessed were all very helpful and pleasant. This hotel is walking distance to a few restaurants by utilizing the walking path along the water. The only negative about our stay was the temperature in the room. It was very warm (even in March) and since there is no air conditioning we were forced to keep the back door open and bugs were coming in from the crack of the screen door. Otherwise very pleasant stay and we'd come back.

We stayed for one night - and yes it's a real treat because it's pricey staying here at over…read more$400+/night but you pay for the ocean view and access to the walking path along the ocean. 1) Front desk - everyone at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. There's even a little glass of dum dums suckers on the counter for the little ones or those young at heart 2) Room amenities - everything you can ask for including 2 burner stove, water kettle, Keurig coffee machine with several coffee pods, set of dishes (3 cups, 3 mugs, 3 plates, utensils), microwave, frig, ironing board, standing fan, extra pillows, large sofa enough to fit 4 adults, fireplace with wood chips for burning, 2 tv's - one in living area and one at the bottom of the bed, balcony overlooking the ocean and toaster. The shower had bottles of shampoo, conditioner and cleanser. I don't think they missed anything -except toothpaste! You're on your own with that. Balcony had 2 chairs for you to sit and enjoy the view. 3) Hot tub and pool - we only tried the hot tub which was very hot in the beginning but after soaking in for a few minutes you get acclimated and it's relaxing. Officially fits 10 but so spacious can fit more. Towels available at front desk. 4) Complimentary continental breakfast - everything you can ask for that does not require any cooking including various pastries, bagels, muffins, oatmeal with toppings, yogurt with various toppings, apple or orange juice, coffee, tea, apples, pears, bananas, hard boiled eggs and toaster (for the sliced bread or bagels). There are wooden trays if you want to take some food to your room. There are 4 large round tables with 8 chairs for seating and a fireplace burning. There's something for everyone! You can also eat outside on the patio with ocean view. (There were also a few GF options.) 5) 5:30 complimentary wine in lobby area. 6) Self service cold water - small plastic cups available in lobby area We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Room is spacious and furniture is not the most current but it was comfortable. We enjoyed watching the sunset and surfers out on the ocean!

One of the best parts of this inn is the nearby ocean strolling opportunity on a nearby road/path, which leads to a nice sand stretch. You can hear the waves from the beautiful, cozy rooms - which was a highlight for me. Highly, highly recommend! Worth every penny! Pro-tip: When I booked my stays, it was cheaper to book lodging through a third-party website, but definitely check their direct rates, as usually this is the most beneficial, cost-effective way to book lodging in the states.

If you're staying here, I would recommend not just using it as a place to sleep - try to actually indulge in all the amenities they have to offer. Did I mention the freshly baked cookies at 7 PM? Our room had a fireplace with an ocean view. We were able to enjoy our wine in our private patio and even got the cutest thermos set to take home! The breakfast in bed was delightful. It was on time and fresh. Food was just okay, but the daily special (French toast) hit the mark. Great for anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day or any other celebration!
