“Clean, Convienent, Comfortable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Ended staying at this hotel after other accommodations fell through. Thankfully they did not price-gouge us since it was a holiday weekend and we did not make advance reservations. The room and bathroom was clean and a nice size. The hotel information said the hotel was "certified green" but the sink in the room leaked. The water in the shower was difficult to get a good temp - either too hot or too cold. But the hotel staff was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. The free breakfast was great too - waffle maker, danishes, assortment of breads, yogurt, cereal. The coffee was excellent. The hotel is also in a perfect location - the corner of US 1 and CA 92 - 1 block down from the beginning of downtown Half Moon Bay, and 1 block over from Kelly Street (road to get to the State Beach). The traffic on the highway was minimal and did not keep us awake.

“Clean and Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Just stayed one night in a regular room with a king size bed. The room was sparkling clean and the bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows for propping up and watching television (which featured a nice selection of "dish" movies). The motel was not very full so no noises from other rooms and the traffic noise was almost non-existent.

The room had a coffee maker with non-dairy creamer. Sufficient for those of us who need our coffee fix right away but the coffee in the office area was much better and still included in the room rate. The above average complimentary breakfast was more than I expected which included a waffle iron with batter and hot pastries.

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed in the 2 bedroom suite in October with some friends for 2 nights. Great value for the money spent. The rooms were clean and roomy. I did not hear much noise from the highway. The breakfast had a nice selection, and definitely adequate. Only pointer for those who decide on the suite is that the lone bathroom is located inside one of the bedrooms. Reception was always helpful in requests such as extra towels, etc.

Definitely recommend as a nice budget stay in the area in comparison to the prices in the surrounding hotels.

“Simple Getaway in Half Moon Bay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stayed 2 nights in a double deluxe. I chose this one since they were out of the King deluxe rooms and the regular rooms looked too small if you were going to spend most of your time in them. It was a nice room, nothing fancy, but with comfortable beds, very clean and had all natural soaps. The AC/heat was a wall unit, but easily controlled by a digital wall mount. They have 'Dish' for cable which had a nice selection because we ending up spending one afternoon just watching movies since it was raining. The breakfast had a nice selection which included cereal, fruit, bagels, toast, small muffins, danishes, coffee, tea's, oj, apple juice, milk, mini yogurts, hardboiled eggs (chilled), and my favorite 'make your own' waffles! Only thing I noticed was little rust spots on the corner of the shower between the tile and wallpaper in the bathroom. Also, not the hotels fault, but we were on the bottom level and ended up under a group of guys that only wanted to make noise between midnight and 3am which was quite irritating. I would just suggest asking for an upstairs room to avoid this since the ceiling seemed very thin and you can hear every step people take above. Overall, we enjoyed the weekend and would recommend if you dont want to blow all your money on the surrounding hotels at $200+ a night.

Room Tip: Rooms on the top floor recommended.

“Coastside Should Be Named Roadside”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011
3
people found this review helpful

First the positive. The Coastside Inn was clean and the staff was very helpful. Also, the complimentary breadfast was more than adequate. If you want a hotel that has more amenities and is quiet, look elsewhere. The Inn is off Hwy 1 which was very busy. Also, since it is right at the highway, you get motorcyclists, truckers, you name it. There was a period when there was a group of people outside raising a ruckus. Thankfully, the staff took care of the problem.
