    “Absolutely charming room! We loved it. The only teeny complaint, the stairs leading to the room are shared with the kitchen entrance to the restaurant. It was a bit noisy and there was a huge puddle of water in the morning. Otherwise, perfect stay, with the friendliest staff!!!!”

  • Beautiful boutique hotel is the perfect place to stay while you explore Half Moon Bay.

    “Absolutely beautiful little boutique hotel in the middle of town. Gorgeous rooms with attention to details.”

  • Great price, amazing bed/pillows/linens, and staff but not for light sleepers due to street noise

    “Sharie was such a wonderful person. Really went above and beyond to ensure my things were safe/secure and even put my luggage in my room when I wasn't going to be back in time for check-in (I dropped it off early so I can venture in HMB). Wonderful communication throughout the day. The bed, pillow, and linens are an absolute DREAM. The towels are plush, soft, fresh, and wonderful to the touch.”

  • I overall enjoyed my stay with the exceptions noted above.

    “The HMB Inn was cute, cozy and very clean. Other than ice and a glass of wine, it didn’t have any amenities.”

    “Perfect location in Half Moon Bay in a charming Italian European style hotel. It has stairs no elevator but that wasn't a problem for us. The bed was very high for me so they brought me a stool which was perfect.”
