Nice but paper thin walls

Only thing negative was the thin walls, I felt like the people in the next room just talking to each other were literally IN my room. Therefore I could not sleep. Which was unfortunate for $200

Shawn

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
My recent stay was unfortunately quite disappointing and certainly didn't justify the price. While the room could be described as "cleanish," I was immediately put off by sand in the bed, which is hardly what one expects from a hotel. The pervasive and extremely strong smell of their deodorizer/cleaning solution was overwhelming and unpleasant throughout the stay. Adding to the discomfort were the paper-thin walls. I could clearly hear my neighbors using their washroom, and nighttime brought even more intrusive sounds. The washroom itself presented its own set of issues. The automatic lights were highly sensitive, triggering every time I moved in the room. Even more frustrating, they turned off while I was in the shower, leaving me in the dark. To top it off, there was no soap in the dispensers. Finally, the bed was not very comfortable, making for a poor night's sleep. Overall, there were very few positives to salvage what was a pretty pricey and unsatisfying experience.

Acoustically Transparent

Nobody should stay here. The walls are so thin I could hear snoring, coughing, talking, etc. all night. It is in a good location, and the room is nice, but the acoustically transparent walls make the room uninhabitable.

Nice location, room was very nice. I would have preferred an upstairs room so we could open the window at night but we booked at the last minute.

OK, this is a great little hotel. Honestly, my room looked almost brand new. Also, it has the obligatory one cup coffee maker, but it also had a kettle which I used to make my own grind coffee. Included in the room, microwave, mini refrigerator, and a room safe. I really had an enjoyable experience and have no qualms recommending this to anyone else. No breakfast is included, but next-door is a great little café called The Press.

Very cozy!! Good-sized rooms and a great location. The walls are bit thin but we didn’t notice it much. We also kept our windows open the whole time and while we could hear traffic, it was in the background and not disruptive at all. The staff members are excellent. Between a couple stays, every person we’ve met for check-in/check-out, or for questions has been very friendly and kind, helpful, and seem genuinely happy to be there. I’ve been visiting Half Moon Bay regularly for 10+ years, and this has become our new go-to place to stay.

On the highway. Double paned windows worked when closed. Walls were thin - we could hear the snorer in the next room all night ( though they did provide earplugs - should have been a tip-off). But I don’t think there are any 5-star hotels in half moon bay.
