Half Moon Bay Lodge

Half Moon Bay Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed the beds, and the hot breakfast options- It was a quiet location, backing to a golf course. We had an issue with our neighbors the first night-( 2am noise and constant smoke fumes). The next morning we asked to be relocated and were quickly accommodated. Travelers need to be considerate when sharing walls, and, understand that a no smoking property is a no smoking anything property."

"I enjoyed my stay here. The location was close to downtown, but further from the marina area and there was often traffic on hwy 1 which made the trip longer to pillar point. The breakfast buffet was adequate. Close to many hiking areas and beaches. Beds were very comfortable. I felt it was a good value"
