Nice view from the balcony of the harbor and ocean which are just across the street. Above average room size, could be a good size studio apartment. Several restaurants within easy walking distance. Underground parking. Mattress was firm but comfortable. Short drive to downtown Half Moon Bay.

Room could have used a microwave. Room not remotely close to being soundproof. Could hear toilet flushing and shower running from rooms on either side, housekeeping vacuuming the hall and adjacent rooms, street noise from passing cars. Pillows were too soft for my liking.

Everything was perfect. We had a suite, overlooking the bay. Had a big bathtub and provided bath bombs in the lobby. The weather was great, the mornings were foggy but wonderful. The location and view couldn't have been any better. Room was super quiet too. Fireplace in the living room area.

The room was perfect in every way, except the room was too warm. The thermostat was set to 78 and we could not change it. Thank goodness I bring a little fan on every trip for times like this. Be prepared, all of the eating establishments are overly pricey, every single one. Bring a lot of funds if you want to eat.

We had three nights in this lovely hotel, originally only one was booked but we extended for two more because the hotel was so nice. There is a couple of nice cafe's, bars and restaurants within walking distance and there is a small shopping mall attached to the hotel. One of us had a massage and, without exaggerating, it was the best massage ever experienced! The hotel seems a great size too with not too many rooms so it was never that busy or noisy.

We didn't have any food or drink at the hotel so we can't comment about that. I think the prices of the room is slightly higher than I'd expect but seems on a level with the USA.

Easy to access very clean and well maintained our room was beautiful with a living space fireplace, view of the harbor, sunken tub walk-in shower spacious and the sheets were sooooo soft bed comfortable like home and plenty of pillows even had a white noise machine, small fridge kurig and small sink table and chairs for eating in!

The shutters separating the bathroom from the bedroom lacked privacy if someone was t feeling well or had an upset belly… we didn’t but the thought was there what if … lol

The location is great! Restaurants are very close with a variety of different food. The restaurant in the hotel is very nice as well. The hotel is very close to shopping and a trip into Half Moon Bay was very interesting. The room was very nice and comfortable. I would recommend staying here for a rewarding experience.

I think it’s sad that you have such poor maintenance when it comes to landscaping. Tall dry weeds, damaged fencing and a water feature that looks like it could be very nice. If it was cleaned up and functional.

Quiet, beautifully appointed, excellent beds, plenty of parking (all sheltered), near lots of restaurants, overlooking harbor, easy access to Pacific Coast Highway, within 5 minutes of decent beaches where you can watch surfers and relax in the foggy sun. It's rather chilly there, which is wonderful if you like that. Don't expect to be able to sunbathe in heat, though. Half Moon Bay is a foggy spot in the summer.

Can't think of anything. It was really nice.

The regal, very classy and rich feel of the property. During our stay there were two weddings going on which gave me an idea to possibly have my wedding here. Walkable property to other places in the quaint town of Half Moon Bay. THANKS SO MUCH TO THIS HOTEL AS WELL for making my boyfriend’s birthday weekend a success. We loved the wine, chocolate covered strawberries and note from me strategically positioned upon entering the room.

The price of the bed pillow lol. I wish it were a little cheaper so I can buy one for my home.

The staff were very professional. They were very accommodating when I called about a request. Even went out of their way to make me feel so special for my birthday. Jazmine and Jose were fantastic concierge. Room was very clean and beddings were so soft and comfortable. Love the balcony and the view. Easy basement parking. The surrounding was great and so close to my favorite restaurant Barbara’s Fish Trap which was why I stayed at this location. But we brought our electric scooter and skateboard and kids bike and wagon and we had a great time accessing the beach all around the harbor. The shops and restaurants connected to the hotel was great. We enjoyed some desserts and went to the Taffy shop.

The bathroom toilet was extremely loud when flushing. When you have kids you try to tip toe around when they’re asleep but the toilet is enough to make you nervous when flushing during bedtime. People’s voices in the hallways echoed very badly into the room but I played brown noise to keep the kids from waking up. I was tempted to open my door to tell people to keep it down when they were so loud for way too long and it was midnight. Another issue if I had to name one would be the price. We stayed at the second floor double Queen room and it may just be the season but with taxes it was $440. I think for that price maybe continental breakfast or a heated pool would be nice. But it was our choice to pay to be in a better location. But maybe off season will be cheaper

LOVED the room layout, the elegant bathroom with tub and shower, the comfy, giant king bed, the fireplace and the mini kitchenette and little table/sitting area. The view of the harbor (boats mostly) was very nice also. Room decor of soft greens, blues, and neutral cream with seashell touches, buttons, and slightly "ocean distressed" vibe which carried out into hallways, interior landings and main lobby area gave it a very open, light, and spacious feel. Free, covered parking below hotel is another strong perk. The staff working the front desk and housekeeping very pleasant and gracious, also.

Would have been nice if a microwave was available in the suite/kitchenette area of room also, but not a dealbreaker since there was a microwave in a common office space off the lobby, accessible to guests.

The rooms were very large and we had an ocean view. The location was very quiet for a good nights sleep. It was our son-in-laws BD and the hotel gave him a birthday card and a bottle of good wine. Very sweet. Having a noise machine is a nice option, but we found we did not need it with the frogs sounds and the fog horn.

The hotel staff came to clean the room at 9 AM - too early. The decor was a bit dated. The temperature in the room was often tricky - if we closed the window the room got very warm. Having a "weighted" blanket should be an option - my husband dislikes them, I like 'em. He needed another blanket to be comfortable - we should have asked for a simple blanket and not the weighted.
