My preferred rating would have been 4.5 stars. The only issue was that they’re having some issues with their WiFi. If this is critical for you, ask for a room with the strongest signal. They assured me they are working on it which will involve a total overhaul so I expect sometime soon it will be a stellar experience to match the rest of the amenities. Let me just say that the listing here on Expedia undersold the Beach View Room!!! Not only did it have a refrigerator- which is at least twice the size of a typical Dorm size, it had a microwave, cook top, bar size sink, plates, cups, silverware, additional 55” TV over a wood burning fireplace, nightlight, and bathroom ventilation fan. The last may seem trivial but it isn’t. The furnishings are superior. Everything was comfortable to sit on. The seating area would easily accommodate 4-5 adults. The ocean view was spectacular whether seating inside or out. The direct beach access was awesome. I didn’t use the pool or hot tub but they were nice and clean. The room was clean and there is ample space for a long stay if you want to unpack from a closet with hangers, a dresser next to the bed and multiple drawers in the bathroom. The double vanity bathroom sink was nice for a his and hers experience! The bed was comfortable so my back says thanks. While there is no AC, the room came with a nice pedestal fan that my wife used to whole time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast is filling.

Nice and quiet hotel. Has limited parking. Near the ocean and park. Big bathroom and room for ADA. Patio too small and no view in our room, just parking lot. Get the one with ocean view. Room was expensive. At least there’s continental breakfast.

Our stay at The Beach House Hotel Half Moon Bay was overall okay, but with a mix of positives and some frustrating issues. The suites are quite small — there’s really no space to properly open two suitcases, which makes the stay less comfortable. On the positive side, I really appreciated that the room included proper dishes and cutlery (not plastic or paper), which is a nice and thoughtful touch. The fireplace was also a highlight and made the room feel cozy. However, the bathroom was a major disappointment. The bathtub stopper (the open/close mechanism) didn’t work properly — it wouldn’t fully open or close. After using the bath, the water drained extremely slowly and took about an hour to go down. On top of that, the faucet kept running all night, which was very annoying. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise. I liked that there were many organic options, and the yogurt from a local farm was especially good. The croissants were also unexpectedly delicious. Overall, the hotel is decent, but definitely has maintenance issues that need attention.
