Look at the Map
My bad for not checking precise location of this Inn. I usually confirm before booking but I slipped up. This Inn is on the East side of Cabrillo Hwy - therefore you look across 4 lanes of traffic to see parking lots to see Harbor. I should have known when checking into room and finding ear plugs next to soap, shampoo etc that traffic noise would be a problem It is. After being out all day on second day we came back to find room had not been cleaned. I asked reception who told me if I didn't put out the door hanger requesting service then the cleaners would not enter. Given no one had told us at check in, we were a little surprised. We were able to get clean towels. Good general location for hiking and restaurants. About 5 miles N of Half Moon Bay in Granada. Prefer to stay in HMB. Lessons learned.

Very nice ladies at front desk. The room was cute, it was nice to open the windows to have the breeze off the water. Centrally located to walk to restaurants and waterfront.

Basic Hotel in Half Moon Bay
Room layout is great with bay window and window seat. The owners have made an effort to update bathroom, flooring, and furniture. The walls are so thin they provide earplugs in the room, which is a nice accommodation (and we didn’t need them). Overall, this is a pretty basic hotel with no amenities, but the location is favorable and we had a fine stay.

Pillows are not soft enough would really ne mu only minor complaint. The room was nicely appointed though and very clean. The front desk receptionist was really nice. Great coffee in reception area! Some loud road noise when windows are open since location is facing highway 1. Ear plugs were provided in room. But no noise noticed if windows were closed. Reasonable price compared to other places in the area.

Staff was nice when checking in. Rooms are nice and cozy, yet smallish. Despite name of hotel, no harbor view. Across highway from harbor. Had noisy screaming neighbor for over 2-hrs after 10pm. Hotel did little/nothing to stop.

The place is clean and well-located: walk across the street and along the coast trail toward HMB. Coffee shop next door, several restaurants across the (Highway 1) street.

Room was spacious and very clean. Property was located on east side of Hwy 1 but was only a 5 min walk to the restaurants and harbor shops. External pictures of the property were cropped which led to a mis-leading view of grounds. Noise from adjoining room could be heard
