Loved my stay and hope to come back again! The room, the breakfast, the ambiance and location were great! It was so nice of the hotel staff to keep my luggage for a short time after my checkout. Loved the bikes so I could ride to the beach.

There was nothing I didn't like, but if I could give a suggestion .... the young woman who first checked me in wasn't very helpful with knowing about the local hot spots. I asked about the beaches and restaurants and she just didn't seem to have much information. And when I went to the beach behind the Ritz Carlton I was BLOWN away with how absolutely stunning it was! If I hadn't found it myself, I wouldn't even know about it. The staff should be letting guests know what not to miss.

Really nice atmosphere at this quaint lodge which is extremely well located on Route 1. Nice little outdoor heated pool and a hot tub too which can both be used till 10pm! We were only using as a base as explored from Pacifica to Carmel over 5 nights and over to Saratoga near San Jose for a concert. It was ideal. Self-service breakfast is really nice with small but varied choice and in a really cosy cute room. There is also Joe's Diner over in the car park. We had two really good evening meals there and the staff were very friendly. Great stay.

Our welcome when we arrived was a little cool and not quite the bubbly American welcome you imagine which after a long journey from UK was a tiny bit disappointing but no biggy on the whole. The hotel in places is a bit tired looking but we found it kind of charming and we mainly only slept and ate breakfast there. Could have done with more than 6 hangers.

I like the nature around it and fresh air, lots of green trees and flowers, very vacationing atmosphere. Breakfast was very simple, but waffles with lavender half moon bay local honey was something special and really delicious. The quality of teas provided for breakfast were really outstanding and nice. All the staff were surprisingly nice and helpful. And new renovated bathrooms were fancy and clean, I really like shampoos and soaps provided, they were smelling blissfully.

If we you are in the room and your next door neighbours are on their balcony talking, it sounds like they are in your room and you are a part of conversation. But that is something no one can change, that’s how it all was originally constructed. You just need to accept the fact. Pillows themselves are yellowish and dirty if accidentally open a pillow case. They need to be either washed or renewed. And it was not very comfortable to sleep on those. But that is a fixable problem.

It was my bonus daughter's 15th birthday so we wanted to celebrate her with one of her fav. things - the beach! The Half Moon Bay Lodge was the perfect celebratory spot! It was so conveniently located to beaches, trails, dining, & more. It was the perfect balance of quaint & grounded luxory. The outdoor fire pits & hot tub was perfect after being splashed in the tidepools. My husband loved the pillows lol. And, while I had intentions of using the gym & sauna we ran out of time. The staff was super helpful & knowledgeable. (and the bagpipes at the Ritz down the street added an amazing sunset serenade experience!)

I would love earlier check in time so can make the most of it!

Great balcony

No AC. Phone did not work. We heard lots of noise and conversations from other guests.

Loved the location and all the nice places to sit on the property. Our room had a lovely golf course view and we could see a little of the sunset from our patio on the second floor. It was a quiet place. Old tiles in the bathroom were cool and the bed was pretty comfortable.

The breakfast was really disappointing. Those eggs and sausage were absolutely disgusting to be honest! Could only eat the oatmeal and drink coffee because of dietary restrictions. Would have been nice to have some fresh fruit. Get your ice machine fixed on the 2nd floor! For the prices paid per night, come on. Didn’t like that there hasn’t been an elevator installed after all these years. Makes it difficult for a person who has health limitations like me to go up the stairs. And I love the top floor for a view. I didn’t realize you had no elevator!

Very nice hotel, great amenities and quiet grounds with hummingbirds, butterflies and birds. Rooms are excellent, very clean. Great breakfast offerings every morning and you can eat inside and play in the game room or outside by the pool in a cabana or by the fire pit and play area. Dog-friendly with a grassy park area that looks onto the famous Ritz Carlton golf course. Staff is friendly and thoughtful, you can borrow from a fleet of bikes, and there's a restaurant in the same area that serves great food. We really like it here and will stay again!

I liked the location and proximity to the beach. We had to drive about 5 minutes though to access the beach. The lodge is beautiful and the gardens were a joy to look at. Also, throughout the day, you can get a coffee, tea or hot chocolate. In addition, the staff was always friendly, professional and helpful. There were also, fire pit to use at night to warm up and enjoy a glass of wine!

1. There was no fan in the bathroom 2. Electric socket to coffee maker in the room was bad and we couldn't make coffee.

The breakfast was decent, offering a variety of options including toasts, bagels, danishes, oatmeal, sausages, scrambled eggs, waffles, coffee, tea, and juices. The lodge is conveniently located near the town center, making it easy to find food in the downtown area. One of the best features is that Half Moon Bay Lodge is only a 3-minute drive from the Ritz-Carlton hotel. We drove there early in the morning after breakfast, which was really nice because there weren't many people around.

The bathroom is a bit small and could use some updating.

Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely room and amenities. Great spa and pool. Gracious grounds. A joy to be there!

Breakfast, though generous, wasn't great quality. We're spoiled in the Bay Area, so scrambled eggs, bagels, oj, yogurt, cream cheese could have been better. Seemed like they were serving the cheapest of all those things. Advice given about bicycling along the coast didn't mention that a long stretch north from the golf course was muddy, heavily rutted, narrow, and winding. Great for walkers, maybe ok for jocks on mountain bikes, but not safe for the rest of us on bikes. The regular bike path goes north from the parking lot at the end of Poplar St, which can be reached from Highway 1.
