Cypress Inn On Miramar Beach

Miramar

10/10 Excellent

We had a marvelous time at the Cypress Inn in Half Moon Bay. The room was modern and comfortable. We had a wonderful ocean view, just across a small road from the beach. The location was very quiet, just the sound of the ocean surf, which we love to hear. The breakfast was magnificent, plus they had wine and very tasty snack food in the afternoon. This is one of the best bed and breakfast inns we've ever had the pleasure to stay at.

An outdoor seating area with wooden chairs and a table, a fire pit, and a view of the ocean.

The Beach House Hotel Half Moon Bay

El Granada

10/10 Excellent

This is a great hotel. Very nice room, great view, nice bike/walk path right outside, nice sunken living room and suite feeling in the standard rooms, fireplace, etc. The main thing to know before coming here is that it is set up to be lived in for a while if you like. There is a stove, refrigerator, large microwave, dishes, silverware,etc. If I'd know that in advance I might have packed differently and planned on preparing a meal or two in the room. (On the other hand, there is at least...

Aloft by Marriott San Francisco Airport

Millbrae

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is very close to SFO and has a free shuttle. We stayed one night so we could quickly get to the airport the following morning. You could hear the airplanes take off, but it wasn't so bad that we couldn't fall asleep after a long day of adventures. Our room faced the airport so it was probably even a little louder than on the other side of the hotel. The hotel is very modern and clean. It was recently renovated or new. The room had a ton of space for our bags (4 of us in our...

10/10 Excellent

Close to SFO for an overnight stay after a long flight home. They allow late check in but the shuttle service ended too early for us to be able to use so we had to pay for a rideshare service. The woman at reception was very friendly when we checked in and our room was large, clean, quiet and comfortable. They serve a small but serviceable breakfast in the morning, which was nice since we still had a long drive home. Definitely recommend a stay here if you are in the area.
