OK, this is a great little hotel. Honestly, my room looked almost brand new. Also, it has the obligatory one cup coffee maker, but it also had a kettle which I used to make my own grind coffee. Included in the room, microwave, mini refrigerator, and a room safe. I really had an enjoyable experience and have no qualms recommending this to anyone else. No breakfast is included, but next-door is a great little café called The Press.

Very cozy!! Good-sized rooms and a great location. The walls are bit thin but we didn’t notice it much. We also kept our windows open the whole time and while we could hear traffic, it was in the background and not disruptive at all. The staff members are excellent. Between a couple stays, every person we’ve met for check-in/check-out, or for questions has been very friendly and kind, helpful, and seem genuinely happy to be there. I’ve been visiting Half Moon Bay regularly for 10+ years, and this has become our new go-to place to stay.

On the highway. Double paned windows worked when closed. Walls were thin - we could hear the snorer in the next room all night ( though they did provide earplugs - should have been a tip-off). But I don’t think there are any 5-star hotels in half moon bay.

Nice place

The room was clean and well furnished. It was obvious that updates have been made. The bed was comfortable and both soft and firm pillows were provided. I was there for 10 days and the staff was friendly and helpful as I received several packages during my stay. Towels and trash were changed every couple of days. Minor issues were the shower doors (rollers loose), and shower water flow (takes twice as long as usual to rinse off)

no privacy

The walls are super thin. You can hear everything. From coughing up a lung to then snoring loudly all night, TV up really high, a 3am phone call, to general very loud talking and constant dropping of things. It's no wonder there were earplugs in the bathroom.

We had a terrible experience staying in this place. Room was dirty hairs around the table, smelly room with used pillow cases and sheets, we were so disappointed we as soon as we entered the room and saw these mess. I was hearing dog barking most of the time from next room. Totally opposite of what we were expecting for that high pay with that bad condition . Ruined our trip.

Do Not Stay Here!

Based on reviews here we choose to stay at harbor view inn. Big mistake!! The pictures of the property are deceiving. Room was small, refrigerator made a ton of noise so unplugged it, bed too soft and saggy, wall fireplace didn’t work, refills were needed of toiletries, there are no robes, WiFi was poor. On top of all this the walls are so lacking insulation or soundproofing you can hear your neighbors talking, having sex, and snoring. The snoring the second night kept me awake. The inn provides ear plugs but they don’t work. They could fix this with acoustic wallboard. And not much water pressure in the shower. The only positive about this place is it has been updated fixtures and furnishings and it was less expensive than most in the area. But it’s in LaGranada not close to downtown Half Moon Bay or beaches. You can only walk to the harbor. No beach there. It was not worth the money we spent. Never again would I stay there.
