    The hotel was gorgeous, and I loved the knowledgeable staff and updated room. the food was great and included cookies and cheese. I had a reasonably priced room with a king-sized bed. Its location was fantastic, near to the beach and many spots to eat, and Half Moon Bay.

    We had an amazing time at this hotel. The location was perfect, right on the beach with breathtaking views of the ocean. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast spread was delicious and satisfying. We loved being able to walk to the nearby shops and restaurants. it was a fantastic experience.

    The only downside was the road noise occasionally disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.

    We stayed at this cozy inn for our 18 year wedding anniversary. The staff were friendly and the rooms were beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. The views of the ocean were fabulous from our room. The continental breakfast offered a good variety, including fresh fruit and tasty scones. We loved the added touch of the afternoon tea break and the evening wine and cheese. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and pier with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. it was a dreamy and exceptional value stay.

    Highly recommend this hotel.
