A clean, spacious room, good breakfast, year-round pool & hot tub, & quiet grounds never dissapoint
Pros:

I always request a groundfloor room for my service dog and they have been so nice and granted this request. I've stayed hear several times over the years and I am never disappointed. Bed is comfortable, the room is clean and well stocked and plenty of space in the king size room that includes a desk. Good breakfast and the pool and hot tub is amazing anytime of year. I really enjoy how quiet it is on the grounds at night, it backs up to the golf course and is far enough away from the Hwy 1.

Cons:

Sometimes at night there are people by the fire pit talking and that sound carries easily. I have also stayed in a room with the fireplace, and while that sounds romantic, the scent of wood fire is bothersome to me inside so I will not be doing that again.

It was just fine.
Pros:

The location was nice. Asked for a quiet room but they put us on the end which was a through-way for everyone to get to the rooms on the back side of the hotel. The view of the golf course was nice. The noise 24/7 was not.

Cons:

The carpet in our room had embers on it which made our socks black when we walked on it before we realized. The room had a fireplace, but there was no wood. We called the front desk and they brought us a small bag of firewood. It was cute. The bag burned for an hour maximum which was unfortunate.

Great home base for coastal excursions b/t HMB and Santa Cruz
Pros:

My daughter and I loved our stay here. The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. It had a cute balcony off the back where we could sit out at night and play cards. The ice machine worked.

Parking was included at no extra charge. The included breakfast was good, and it included hot eggs, sausages, make it yourself waffles, bagels, and coffee. Not just packaged/cold stuff, which tbh I had been expecting.

The location is off on its own, a 10-15 min drive away from downtown Half Moon Bay and the restaurant strip. Some might not want that, but we were happy to be at a quieter spot off the beaten path and still have access to amenities. It being south of the “action” in HMB also put us closer to Santa Cruz, making the trip down there pretty easy and making the Lodge a great home base for excursions all along the coast.

The front desk staff was wonderful. Friendly, competent, and efficient. The rates were reasonable, considering the comps.

Strong recommend!

Great Stay
Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was pretty and well maintained, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable, and the staff were very kinder whole stay. The front desk staff offered our daughter a child’s size robe, which I thought was very sweet.

Poor experience , not a good quality hotel.
Pros:

The golf course view was ok. The room was clean and the service came by when the heater wasn't working. They had managed to clean the room up on time for our early check in of 3PM as I had a work meeting to finish.

Cons:

Upon arrival, the front desk staff weren't too friendly, but they checked us in. The property is old and didn't look like it was worth the price ($ 400+) from the outside. The rooms were average - the lights near the coffee area would not work when the har dryer was turned on. The tub clogged water and we had to wait between showers for the water to drain. We couldn't figure out how to turn on the heater and called maintenance after which they gave us a portable extra heater. One of the towel holders fell off in the bathroom as well and we had to fix it back. Overall poor experience for the money paid. Glad we only stayed a day.

Cons:

That end of Half Moon Bay does not have a big selection of restaurants.
Not the hotels fault but makes us reconsider that area for next time.
