Only downside was I didn't get the meet the staff - they open at 11am and close I guess around 6pm. I was out both days. Parking is on street. No breakfast served (but found a great place locally). No fridge in the room but communal one available down the corridor.

I liked the location - right in the midst of HMB (Half Moon Bay). Loved the attention to detail - good ground coffee, fresh, bottled water, plenty of fans for cooling (room was hot when I arrived). Really nice shampoo, conditioner - lavender based, sourced locally. Accommodated my late arrival easily.

Rug on rim was raggy with rips that snagged my foot. Once brought to their attention, they cut the rug to reduce the risk of injury. The wine we were offered at check-in was disgusting, My Husband and I both threw ours out. Very noisy at night due to loud people on street exiting bar.

Location; kind receptionist

Location was great but a bit noisy as on the main street and too hot to have window closed. WIFI was not working but that is unusual apparently. Would stay again

Location was great people where very friendly nice causal atmosphere. and right in the heart of half moon bay.

Location and the little details of the decoration. It was clean and well maintained

Stayed in July 2025

No issues at all.

The location was perfect. Access was great. The room was fun and very comfortable with a nice view of the downtown. Room 2 was a corner room and unlike the entry into the guest book we were not visited by a ghost.

We stayed in the ADU unit on the bottom floor, unfortunately it smelled very musty and you can’t open the bathroom window because it looks right into the backyard of the restaurant and people eating. In addition a leg to the bed broke at no fault of ours. I’d be interested in seeing what other rooms are like, could be just this one room.

Location is right in the heart of downtown

The walls were very thin! You could clearly hear people in the next room having a conversation and also snoring very loudly, (which kept me awake). The rooms are in need of an update in decor - everything was very tired. They could also be a little bit cleaner, especially the floors.

Quaint, historic hotel. Great location for enjoying all that Half Moon Bay has to offer. The wifi was good and parking was easy - after 6pm you can park overnight on the street outside. The car needs to be moved by 9am and there are plenty of 12 hour bays available round the corner from the hotel. The beach is a short drive away.

Loved the boutique hotel experience and the little patio.

Room was a little small for the price.

It was charming with a boho feel that we enjoyed. The location downtown is awesome.

Nothing really.

Convenient to downtown shops and is a good boutique type inn.

Room was a little small. However, it was just fine for one or two people, no more.

Room was impeccably clean and nicely appointed. Nice bonuses such as thick robes, freshly ground coffee, fresh water and an extremely comfortable bed. The hotel itself is very charming and the staff that I encountered were very nice. I also liked the availability of a private envelope to leave a secure tip for the housekeeping staff. That’s a very nice touch! Parking was not bad. Parked on a side street with room view of car.

Heat in the rooms was tricky to regulate and the Noise in the street in the early hours - not revellers but something woke us up!

On the Main Street - brilliant location

Stayed in February 2025

We experienced a few glitches - we couldn't cool the room down the first night- which seems incongruous given that HMB is so cool and even damp when the mist rolls in at night. Perhaps it was "operator error" with the thermostat on our part. After turning off the heater completely things and cracking a window the 2nd night was much better.

The Half Moon Bay Inn is right in the heart of town on Main St. Our upstairs room was off the side street at the back of the property. It was pretty quiet there except for occasional muffled sound from an adjacent room. We lucked out with a full retro-style kitchen which looked out over rooftops, the enclosed patio of the "It's Italia" restaurant below and also a bit of green hills in the distance. Based on other recommendations we ate at "It's Italia" our first night there and loved it. HMB is small and very walkable. We walked to nearby restaurants for breakfast and dinner both days. There are lots of options within a 2-3 block radius. We only used our car when driving up the coast to hike. We also did some retail therapy at the numerous artsy shops and contributed to the economy of HMB as best we could. The staff was very accessible by phone/text and responded on 2 separate occasions - going above and beyond the call of duty on at least one of them. The room itself was beautifully decorated in a retro style. I wish we had more than two days to stay and explore the area. Hope to return in the near future.

The location cannot be beat - right in town. Lovely little Inn. Had a nice overnight stay. Comfortable and cute room.

I didn’t know about breakfast

Not much room to walk around the bed. The room is for sleeping not a place to stay in and chill.

The rooms facing street are noisy in morning with cars and garbage trucks early in morning. Didn’t help that we like to keep our windows open. Probably not as bad if close windows and use ceilings fan.

So convenient being right on Main st and close to restaurants.

The electric heater popped and banged all night like a small jack hammer. Needs work. The toilet tank valve was broken but we did a minor repair with a paper clip-should be replace (unit 3). Tub could use refinishing.

Decor, convenience
