Although there is not a lot of options for coffee and other things. Our room was amazing. We had the top floor, when we asked questions on where to go, he was friendly and told us where to see the star fish and just have a good time and food with in a decent time. I really just loved the view and how peaceful it was.

Almost a five

The inside of the property was a pleasant surprise: clean, modern and bright. We would have given it five stars but we were awoken to very loud guests above and around us well past the quiet hours of 10pm. We can't report that we got a good night sleep before our flight but that was not due to the bed/room/accommodations. Other than that, we thought a continental breakfast was listed on hotels com but there was only in room coffee. Overall, very close to a five star experience but not quite. If you are looking for views of the water you will only get that from a few of the rooms. This is a great location though if flying in/out of San Francisco.

A great little Inn it you want to explore the Coast. Montara State Beach is walking distance and a great beach. Half Moon Bay is very close by and easy to visit. The room was very comfortable and the bed was fabulous.

Noisy from upstairs guests, you could hear all footsteps and many conversations. Assuming just loud, disrespectful guests as the hotel couldn’t fix. That was our only real complaint.

Just staying for the night, but it's a nice quiet location, well not talking about the PCH, and ocean sounds those just come with starting feet from both. Clean ,good size room with a balcony and ocean view. Got to see the sunset last night, it was pretty awesome. Just bring warm clothes and a blanket it gets windy.

Excellent location, wonderful staff, and many great restaurant choices. The only reason I'm taking off one star is due to its spotty wifi connection. If the wifi could be upgraded, I'd happily stay here for a month.
