We just returned from a trip to California where we visited Carmel, Monteray Bay, Napa, and San Francisco. We stayed at various hotels along the way, ranging from a cute boutique hotel at Union Square and the Marriott in Napa Valley. All were excellent but we were totally blown away by the Half Moon Bay Inn in beautiful Half Moon... More

We have stayed at the HMB Inn about 6-8 times over the past couple of years, and have always loved it. The rooms are comfortable, the decor is charming and the extras -- in-room coffee services, locally-made toiletries, cozy robes -- make our stay less like a hotel and more like a visit to a welcoming home. We've stayed in... More

What's nice about this place is that it's dog friendly. What's not so nice is the inn keeper's poodle is extremely UN-friendly. Quite a bit of snarling and barking when me and my canine checked in. Took a while to get the poodle and one other dog squared safely away in a little cubby, tho the snarling that persisted was... More

We stayed here one night in February, time permitting we would have liked to stay longer. Very nice and comfortable room and very friendly staff. Were given a complimentary room upgrade. The bed was super comfortable and everything was just so nice. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Half Moon Bay Inn.

Overall I loved the Half Moon Bay Inn. The location is excellent, smack in the middle of the cute little downtown area. The decor and the staff are charming, & the furnishings very comfortable. I wouldn't recommend our particular room (#5), because it's directly above the kitchen - so you hear the exhaust hood running & vibrating almost all the... More

We decided on a whim this Sunday to stay over at Half Moon Bay after a long hike. I called the Half Moon Bay Inn in the morning, and was quoted a rate of $185+tax for a king room. A little pricey, but within our range. I confirmed the reservation with a credit card and went on our hike. After... More

I'm sorry for the confusion you experienced. Our staff certainly did not mean to offend you. As you know it was a busy holiday weekend. Our rates were posted properly on our website. We made an honest mistake in quoting you our normal Sunday rates versus holiday Sunday rates. We voided the transaction, and charged you our week day rate,... More

Rethink your stay here! Myself and three girlfriends stayed for two nights and between the restaurant below the Inn and HMB Inn we spent over $1500!!!!! We had one peaceful lovely evening to be followed by arrogant, blatant and completely unprofessional night provided by the restaurant below the Inn called "It's Italia" They had a party in the back patio...

I'm so sorry your stay at the Half Moon Bay Inn was so negative. I was hoping that you would give us another opportunity to stay with us, using the gift certificate I sent you, on a more typical night in Half Moon Bay and not the weekend of the Christmas holiday party season. We take pride in providing excellent... More

Nice little Inn right in town. The rooms are nicely furnished and clean. We stayed in the cottage suite. The bed was very comfortable making it hard to get up and get going in the morning. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in town.

The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. They showed me and my small dog to our room. The room was very beautiful and comfortable. The room overlooked the main street, right above an Italian resturant. The noise was minimual and tolerated. I had a great time and an excellent stay. I would definitely stay here again.

As mentioned in other reviews, this place is beautifully decorated, very vintage. Desk clerk was great, room was beautiful and clean (rugs need washed/cleaned ladies!!) Bed was comfy, nice linens, towels, bathroom was super clean. We rented the smaller room (over the restaurant vent fan and the outdoor patio of the restaurant) on a Tues night. Big mistake.
