The property is in a great location. It is clean, updated, and well maintained, although it could use new in room air conditioners. Luckily that was fixed by opening our window but did come up with a little road noise fron Hwy 1. The bedding and linens were top notch and overall, we would definitely stay again!

The hotel is newly renovated, the rooms have cute ambient led lighting details under the bed and on the ceiling, the bathrooms are new and clean. The staff were super friendly. There is a fancy coffee machine in the lobby and a few great breakfast cafes within a few minutes drive. Great place to spend a weekend!

We recently stayed at a charming, quaint hotel in Half Moon Bay and overall had a very pleasant experience. The property was well maintained, clean, and had a cozy atmosphere that fit perfectly with the coastal setting. Our room was comfortable, nicely appointed, and everything appeared to be well cared for. One of the biggest highlights was the location. It was convenient to local attractions, restaurants, and the beautiful coastline, making it easy to enjoy everything Half Moon Bay has to offer. The only downside was that the walls seemed a bit thin. We could hear neighboring guests, including children crying early in the morning and late at night, which occasionally disrupted our sleep. Despite that minor issue, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel to travelers looking for a comfortable, well-kept place in a great location.
