They had a few spots available . I was lucky to get one. All shops were nearby very cool. I never meet any staff members. I called one on the phone. But no front desk, no contact. Unusual but worked out very smoothly

The room was clean and very comfortable. The location is VERY convenient to downtown Half Moon Bay - right in the middle of some stores. Great for walking to restaurants and shopping. It was very quiet while we were there but I don't know about weekend noise. There is no staff on the premises but they did response to our phone calls to resolve a few minor problems. We paid for parking which was nice for coming and going.

What a great spot in Half Moon Bay. Many thoughtful touches (tea and coffee with a cute sitting area when you walk in), very clean and beds were very comfortable. Beautifully decorated as well. Will be back!

Never saw a person our entire stay. Envelope with key cards left in front when we arrived. Went into the inn next morning...no one to be seen. Table set for breakfast, but no breakfast was ever in the works. Kept checking, but no communication whatsoever.
