Really nice atmosphere at this quaint lodge which is extremely well located on Route 1. Nice little outdoor heated pool and a hot tub too which can both be used till 10pm! We were only using as a base as explored from Pacifica to Carmel over 5 nights and over to Saratoga near San Jose for a concert. It was ideal. Self-service breakfast is really nice with small but varied choice and in a really cosy cute room. There is also Joe's Diner over in the car park. We had two really good evening meals there and the staff were very friendly. Great stay.

Our welcome when we arrived was a little cool and not quite the bubbly American welcome you imagine which after a long journey from UK was a tiny bit disappointing but no biggy on the whole. The hotel in places is a bit tired looking but we found it kind of charming and we mainly only slept and ate breakfast there. Could have done with more than 6 hangers.

I like the nature around it and fresh air, lots of green trees and flowers, very vacationing atmosphere. Breakfast was very simple, but waffles with lavender half moon bay local honey was something special and really delicious. The quality of teas provided for breakfast were really outstanding and nice. All the staff were surprisingly nice and helpful. And new renovated bathrooms were fancy and clean, I really like shampoos and soaps provided, they were smelling blissfully.

If we you are in the room and your next door neighbours are on their balcony talking, it sounds like they are in your room and you are a part of conversation. But that is something no one can change, that’s how it all was originally constructed. You just need to accept the fact. Pillows themselves are yellowish and dirty if accidentally open a pillow case. They need to be either washed or renewed. And it was not very comfortable to sleep on those. But that is a fixable problem.

Great balcony

No AC. Phone did not work. We heard lots of noise and conversations from other guests.

Loved the location and all the nice places to sit on the property. Our room had a lovely golf course view and we could see a little of the sunset from our patio on the second floor. It was a quiet place. Old tiles in the bathroom were cool and the bed was pretty comfortable.

The breakfast was really disappointing. Those eggs and sausage were absolutely disgusting to be honest! Could only eat the oatmeal and drink coffee because of dietary restrictions. Would have been nice to have some fresh fruit. Get your ice machine fixed on the 2nd floor! For the prices paid per night, come on. Didn’t like that there hasn’t been an elevator installed after all these years. Makes it difficult for a person who has health limitations like me to go up the stairs. And I love the top floor for a view. I didn’t realize you had no elevator!

Very nice hotel, great amenities and quiet grounds with hummingbirds, butterflies and birds. Rooms are excellent, very clean. Great breakfast offerings every morning and you can eat inside and play in the game room or outside by the pool in a cabana or by the fire pit and play area. Dog-friendly with a grassy park area that looks onto the famous Ritz Carlton golf course. Staff is friendly and thoughtful, you can borrow from a fleet of bikes, and there's a restaurant in the same area that serves great food. We really like it here and will stay again!

I liked the location and proximity to the beach. We had to drive about 5 minutes though to access the beach. The lodge is beautiful and the gardens were a joy to look at. Also, throughout the day, you can get a coffee, tea or hot chocolate. In addition, the staff was always friendly, professional and helpful. There were also, fire pit to use at night to warm up and enjoy a glass of wine!

1. There was no fan in the bathroom 2. Electric socket to coffee maker in the room was bad and we couldn't make coffee.

Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely room and amenities. Great spa and pool. Gracious grounds. A joy to be there!

Breakfast, though generous, wasn't great quality. We're spoiled in the Bay Area, so scrambled eggs, bagels, oj, yogurt, cream cheese could have been better. Seemed like they were serving the cheapest of all those things. Advice given about bicycling along the coast didn't mention that a long stretch north from the golf course was muddy, heavily rutted, narrow, and winding. Great for walkers, maybe ok for jocks on mountain bikes, but not safe for the rest of us on bikes. The regular bike path goes north from the parking lot at the end of Poplar St, which can be reached from Highway 1.

Beautiful grounds, outdoor heated pool, jacuzzi, small gym. Outdoor seating area with gas fireplace. Breakfast included eggs, sausage, bagels, toast, danish, yogurt, cereal, and waffle maker. Doubles as a game room. Deluxe King room was really spacious with a desk, lounge chair and ottoman, and wood fireplace (one bag of easily started firewood provided). Free parking outside the room. Bike rentals that we didn't have time to use. Located right off Hwy 1 and a few minutes to beaches, and hiking at Purisma Park south and the town to the north. Close to Camerons English Pub - food wasn't great there but it was a fun atmosphere (we were there for Saturday night Karaoke).

The breakfast was decent, offering a variety of options including toasts, bagels, danishes, oatmeal, sausages, scrambled eggs, waffles, coffee, tea, and juices. The lodge is conveniently located near the town center, making it easy to find food in the downtown area. One of the best features is that Half Moon Bay Lodge is only a 3-minute drive from the Ritz-Carlton hotel. We drove there early in the morning after breakfast, which was really nice because there weren't many people around.

The bathroom is a bit small and could use some updating.

The pool is large and heated. The hot tub is well situated. The sauna option is nice. The location of rooms to pool to breakfast is convenient. Roasted marshmallows at the fire pitt.

You can hear footsteps from the room above you if you're staying on the 1st floor. The room above us had occupants who had an early checkout, packing and moving all about from 4am. The quality of the eggs and sausage at the breakfast buffet can use improvement.
