average hotel for the cost conscious business traveller. We liked the location and the room comfortable and clean. We arrived at the hotel in the evening from Fort Bragg and Joel at the front desk was very helpful when we checked in. He corrected a problem with our room and also provided us with clear directions to the lighthouses, the... more

The pros of this hotel are: clean room and comfortable bed. The cons are that the parking is tight, it is very noisy (from traffic since it sits right off the highway, the walls are paper thin, you can hear people walking down the corridor as if they are in your room, and also because the parking is right outside... more

The reception was very good- my husband really enjoyed talking to Rikki, who was manning the front desk. She had more pillows and a down comforter sent to our room while we were at dinner. The rooms are fine, but we paid $152 which just seems high for what you get. I guess that's HMB for you. The property faces... more

Spent one night with my wife and our two dogs. Rooms are smallish for a Holiday Inn Express, but big enough for our needs. Very accommodating staff made the stay a pleasant experience. Not many restaurants nearby, though we were told the Mexican one next door is good. Better options downtown. Beach is five block walk. more

When planning a trip I do so much research it is almost overwhelming. I booked one night thru hotwire and then decided to purchase the second night thru expedia so that we wouldn't have to change hotels. I read so many reviews and frankly most of them seem to be left by the rare few that had bad experiences. I... more

We've stayed here before and it's just OK for us. Half Moon Bay doesn't have a lot of motel like lodging that is close (walkable) to downtown. Most of the other places are about 1/2 mile north or a bit south, etc.. Okay, the review... The good: Affordable, good location, clean, updated rooms with the newer HI Express mattress, pillows... more

Just got back from a 1 night stay in Half Moon Bay. Booked the Holiday Inn Express because it was all that was available. Apparently, there are a lot of weddings at the beach on the weekends. The staff was very friendly, the hotel was small and stuffy, as you had to keep your curtains drawn so the people walking... more

This hotel provided us with excellent service. The check in and out was very fast. The breakfast was good. There was a good taqueria located next door. And it was a short drive to the beach. The room itself was average. It was clean and stocked with a goodies basket for us, which was a nice surprise. The only drawback... more

The clerk at the front desk was very welcoming. The room was nice, with some small drawbacks: it took some effort to close the front door all the way, and the shower curtain rod sagged a bit, so that the curtain didn't close all the way. Also the bathroom door was very wide and opened outward, so that, when open,... more
