Receptionist was very nice. Room next door hosted a party until 4am. No one on site to address the noise problem. Room wasn’t cleaned as requested.

The rooms are big and the bed is comfortable. I am a light sleeper, though, and the walls are thin and the windows are not insulated well. I woke up to the guy next door snoring every night and was kept awake by him talking on the phone till midnight. The location near the water is great, too, but the sound of cars woke me up in the morning. I did not, however, mind listening to the sound of sea lions at night. :) and yes, i used ear plugs as i have to carry them wherever i go.

Very clean, and clearly renovated. The paint, floors, and everything was new. Private parking. Very convenient to scenic spots and restaurants. Don’t expect breakfast but wonderful eats right next door. Yes all the rooms have a water view but there is a 4 way intersection and piers between the hotel and the water.

Room with a view
This inn was a remarkable gem in just the right spot. It said partial view of the harbor which meant we had to stand on a chair in bathroom right? Wrong, It had a great view in our opinion.

The room was very nice, but the hotel is right in the road, so the noise from the road is bad. It would not have been a big deal if we had the windows closed, but our room was 79 degrees when we walked in and the AC was broken. We had to open the windows to cool the room. The location is nice because it is close to the ocean and food

The ants took over. The room was great otherwise. Definitely not an ocean front or even ocean view, but a nice room

Look at the Map
My bad for not checking precise location of this Inn. I usually confirm before booking but I slipped up. This Inn is on the East side of Cabrillo Hwy - therefore you look across 4 lanes of traffic to see parking lots to see Harbor. I should have known when checking into room and finding ear plugs next to soap, shampoo etc that traffic noise would be a problem It is. After being out all day on second day we came back to find room had not been cleaned. I asked reception who told me if I didn't put out the door hanger requesting service then the cleaners would not enter. Given no one had told us at check in, we were a little surprised. We were able to get clean towels. Good general location for hiking and restaurants. About 5 miles N of Half Moon Bay in Granada. Prefer to stay in HMB. Lessons learned.
