Stayed for one night to go to an event in Half Moon Bay. The location was 10 minutes from HMB, all rooms have windows facing the water. Good food options nearby. Staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and nicely updated. Walls are paper thin. Luckily I'm a heavy sleeper and no one was too raucous - but TV and conversations could be heard. The fireplace in the wall was a nice touch. The unit is high up and the switch is on the top, so not obvious if you're short like me. Otherwise, it was nice overall and met our needs.

Place was nice. Had some issues in room. I let management know about. Wish the front desk are would be open earlier for the coffee. They don’t unlock doors until 7:30-8am.

I had an unfortunate incident with a toothache. I had signed up for extra coverage for an event of such an emergency through Expedia. Expedia asked me to ask the hotel to assist me. The hotel manager would not assist me in rearranging my accommodation. I suffered through the last day of my vacation was spent in bed because of the unfortunate incident. Over all the staff were nice. I really enjoyed my time there.

The hotel room was clean and check in was easy. My only complaint was the mattress was too firm. Iike that the hotel is close to several restaurants and the harbor.

Location

Great place to stay. Walking distance to the harbor. Room was warm when we got there took a while to cool it off. It’s close to the road so you do hear that noise. Bed was so comfortable. But even with all that we would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Pros: The property is centralized, from restaurants, hiking trails, the beach, and the parking is extremely convenient. Cons: The bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. Bring your own pillows. The water pressure in the shower is very low. And the walls are not sound proof. I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

Across from the Pillar Point Harbor and very walkable to the many restaurants in the area. It was pretty quiet and the room was clean and nicely decorated. Not far from the areas attractions.
