I have always stayed here for years when I make a trip to half moon bay.
This time was a terrible experience. The wrong room was booked, and they didnt have the room that I initially booked. The check-in staff (the young girl) was not helpful at all, acted like she couldn't be bothered with anything. The young man at least tried to accommodate. The whole reason for the trip was to enjoy the hot tub, and that was down for repair. I feel I paid way too much money for the service and amenities that was offered for that night. I'll be thinking twice before I book a room for half moon again.

Great location.

Rooms appear to be recently upgraded but they could still use a little more refresh in the bathrooms. There was a minor spider problem as well, nothing like finding a few in the tub and one crawling on your foot using the restroom in the middle of night.

Breakfast was included, typical continental fare that we passed on after day one and went downtown instead. Lots of choices on Main Street

Nice little recreation area and fire pit outside the rooms sliding door. Can get noisy with kids playing and others walking to breakfast.

Watch out for golf balls!

Hot tub was out of service during our 2 day stay. Bummer.

Cloud 9 Spa next door was great and convenient

Would stay again for the right price.

Great location and close to beaches. Check in was a breeze and staff were really friendly. We came with our dog and they gave us a welcome bag for our pup that included doggie bags, a ball, and a collapsible water bowl. The exterior looks run down but the rooms were clean and well maintained. Parking was a breeze and was able to park right in front of the room. Parking lot is adjacent to Joes, and service and food were great there too. The grounds were great for our dog to walk around in. My kids enjoyed the pool. It was a little bit of a bummer the hot tub was under maintenance. There is a room adjacent to the pool that was open during the day that provided coffee/hot cocoa and board games. Lots of lawn games out too. The breakfast that was came with our stay was delicious!

First hotel I've ever stayed at that doesn't offer air conditioning. Their excuse is they're in a coastal Mediterranean climate, but that didn't help the wall of heat I walked into upon entry into my room. Easily 80+ degrees. You'll be expected to open your sliding doors to let air in, which takes a while to cool down the room. They have box fans at the front desk if you wish to speed up this process. Their sliding doors face the back of a neighborhood, so if you want to leave the doors and curtains open for adequate airflow, expect the neighbors to be able to see into your room, should they so desire. I had to prop my box fan up on the foot rest and build a curtain fort around it, then crossed my fingers hoping it would hold through the night. The first night was a bit uncomfortable, but the second night was fine after leaving the window open and the fan on all day.

Didn't get a chance to use the pool or recreation areas. Breakfast options were decent if you're on the go. Overall, the place looked nice. Small resort vibes, minus AC.

The place is rather old and little things did not work. The bathroom door in our room was very difficult to close nd the fan was really weak. The door to the toilet in the public men's room did not lock or stay closed at all. The walls in the room were very thin and there was quite a bit of noise from outside coming into our room. The view outside our sliding door was nice, but the sliding door fell off the track when we tried to close it. The breakfast was decent and people were very business like. But for a $350 room, I expected a bit more. If the room cost $100, I would recommend the place because there were no show-stoppers and the location was great.

The hotel, room, and grounds were very nice, and we enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and fireside seating. What I would have liked in the room was a microwave for my tea, a shower cap, which has been provided at other hotels we stayed at, and ability to change the thermostat. It may have been broken, not sure. We did like the ceiling fan, but couldn't change the speed. With those considerations, we would still stay there again, as the rate was fair.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this hotel earned one. For over $420 per night, this property was a major disappointment. The entire site feels worn down, dated, and poorly maintained. Our room had ants, and even basic amenities like the shampoo and body wash were unpleasant, with a strong odor that made us avoid using them.The photos on the booking websites are extremely misleading. The reality is nowhere near what is advertised. The pool and spa areas were underwhelming and showed significant signs of neglect.
Noise was another major issue. We stayed in a downstairs room and could hear every footstep from the guests above us. Between the constant noise from neighboring rooms and guests throughout the property, it was difficult to relax.
The complimentary bike program is almost laughable. The bikes appear to have gone years without proper maintenance, and you’re lucky if you find one that works properly. Even more ridiculous is that they’re free for only the first two hours and then cost $10 per hour afterward. Given their condition, it’s no surprise hardly anyone uses them.The early check in policy felt like a cash grab. The hotel charges $58 per person for early check in, yet when I arrived at noon simply asking whether I could leave my vehicle on site, I was told my room was already ready. So guests could easily end up paying extra for something that may already be available at no cost.

There is a hot tub and sauna on the property. They ran out of towels for the hot tub on Saturday night, but aside from that, it was fine. It can be noisy, and the walls are thin if you're a light sleeper. The room was clean; since there are four girls, we often ran out of towels and Kleenex.

Property was under construction during my stay. They never notified me of this. They worked on rooms all around me until 9:30pm (at which time I complained to front desk). They could have put me in any part of the hotel but chose to put me in the worst possible room. The gym is a freaking joke. A tiny museum of 2 prehistoric cardio machines and some free weights. It was easy to see why they were working on the rooms, my bathroom window was rusted shut and there was no air conditioner in my room.

We had a great stay at Half Moon Bay Lodge. The room was large and clean, and the beds were comfortable. A great asset was the heated outdoor pool and jacuzzi. The breakfast was average but coffee was available at the dining area throughout the day. There was a number of small problems: there is no elevator to the 2nd floor, and there are no bell boys to help with the luggage, if one stays on the 2nd floor. Some of the furniture did not work very well, the dresser's drawers kept sliding out!! Also, one needs to arrange with the front desk the room's housekeeping. But, the price is right!!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The outdoor sitting areas are nice. Otherwise it is fine, but definitely not what they portray themselves to be online. You can’t control the temp in your room except by opening/closing the very dirty window over the shower (luckily I’m tall enough to reach it). If you don’t keep that window open, a very weird smell develops. The balcony is covered in spider webs and when I got there the balcony door wasn’t shut all the way/locked which was unsettling. It’s an outdoor entrance/more motel style so you have to carry your luggage upstairs. Found ants in the bathroom after dinner trash had sat for less than 10 hours. Construction was very loud. The gym had 1 bike and 1 treadmill on top of each other and some weights, opted not to use it as I had planned. The WiFi was very spotty. Very thin walls, can hear a ton. Their site implies that they’re in a walkable location which it’s really not, you need a car or uber. Overall would not recommend.

This property is very dated. The grounds are nice. Our room had a fireplace and the minute we opened the door the smell of smoke was all consuming.

We also loved the fact that we could open the sliding glass door to the garden area to circulate some fresh air. I have a feeling that this place was probably top notch when it was built.
