I agree with the other reviewers' comments about noise. Unfortunately, the quiet rooms aren't that much quieter. Check-in at the bar went smoothly and the room was clean. Parking was not difficult - there was plenty of street parking even on a Saturday night. The bathtub in the bathroom was fun. Sadly, the music was loud and lasted late. The... More

After browsing through some reviews we decided this was the place of our choice. It turned out to be a bar that happens to have some rooms... We had a room with bathroom, which might not have been the smartest decision if it would have been busy, there is only one toilet and one shower for 9 rooms... Our room... More

I'm hijacking another reviewers title , because I completely agree. It was not your usual hotel stay, but it was fun. We, too, have been to HMB often, but live too close and never stayed over night. I wish I would have known about the Groupon, but our price was reasonable at $129 a night.f we shared a bath it... More

We recently drove the 35 miles from San Fancisco to Half Moon Bay to celebrate our 45th anniversary. We go there often for lunch but decided to "hang out" at leisure for 2 nights. We had a 2-for Groupon for the San Benito House, and we'd read quite a few local reviews about its lively/noisy activity on weekends. This is... More

My wife and I are separated, and I wanted to take my teenagers somewhere special for the few weeks in summer that I had custody of them. I settled on getting us all some rooms at San Benito House. I was initially worried about how kids would like a place like Half Moon Bay but they had a blast hanging... More

My husband and I stayed here while attending a wedding at the golf course nearby. It was charming, the bar/restaurant downstairs was nice, and they were pretty chill about letting us check in early to shower before the wedding. I would totally stay here again. More

I stayed in San Benito House in Half Moon bay as part of a personal tour of the US. I was so thrilled with the historic elegance of the place, and I loved the outdoor patio. They held a wedding outside on one of the days I stayed and it just elevated everyone’s mood. I am definitely coming back here... More

My family has taken vacations to half-moon bay several times over the years. This was the first time that we had gone without the kids, so we were looking for smaller and finer accommodations. We chose the San Benito House in Half Moon Bay with no regrets. It was everything that we were looking for and more. More

San Benito House Inn at Half Moon Bay is such a lovely place for a wedding. I got to choose the location for the ceremony, and that’s where I’ve wanted it since I went there on vacation as a little girl. The ceremony went beautifully and everyone was gushing about how lovely the venue was. More

There was a lot of noise from downstairs until around 2:30AM and then at 6 a radio went on LOUD in the kitchen. We did eventually get an apology and refund from the place. It was cute and quaint and we were excited when we checked in, but we couldn't sleep. More
