"I stayed here during a conference. It's close by the Hyatt and walkable to there. I wasn't familiar with the area so I didn't go out at night. I know there some restaurants nearby but area walking there at night is really dark. The hotel room was nice and comfortable. My only issue is with the doors and those people. I be hearing doors slammed closed all night and each night. No courtesy. Maybe the hotel can fix the way the doors closed. Breakfast was good. I ate breakfast there each morning. The late night snack store has limited options."

"The hotel was easily accessible from the HWY. It was in a decent location , very close to the beach and other little shops. The receptionist was very helpful when we needed help with the TV. Room was tidy, spacious. Parking is limited. You can purchase safe parking near the hotel, for $15 but theres probably like 20 spots to choose from, or else just enjoy street parking. Otherwise, very nice and perfect for small families."

Thank you for choosing our Trademark Hotel Collection property. Enjoying a warm welcome. Savoring a perfect pour. Sinking into plush bedding. A serene stay with a Wyndham Hotels and Resorts property make up the moments that create memories to last a lifetime.

"The hotel is by the sea, about 20 kilometers from San Francisco, less than 30 minutes from the airport, just off Highway 1. It is not too far from the Golden Gate Bridge and the garden of Filoli. At least the journey is smooth. The hotel is very old and the parking is free and convenient. Going to the supermarket to drive for a while, suitable for traveling on Highway 1."

"I attended the NVIDIA conference, and by sheer coincidence, all nearby hotels were fully booked—leaving me with no choice but to book this hotel, which is only a 50-minute drive away. Although I arrived very late, the front desk attendant, a reserved yet exceptionally friendly and professional young lady, made me feel incredibly welcomed and at ease. From the moment I stepped into the hotel, I was impressed by its remarkable cleanliness. For the price I paid, this hotel far surpassed the quality of the $500–$600 hotels I’ve experienced in San Francisco. Regardless of who the owner is or who handles the cleaning, I must commend you on your outstanding standards. In today’s world, it’s rare to find a hotel that conducts business, management, and service with such integrity. Although the hotel is not positioned as a high-end establishment, any initial hesitation I had completely vanished upon arrival. In fact, if I ever find myself in this area again, I will not hesitate to book a week-long stay. Compared to the overpriced hotels in San Francisco that often fail to deliver true value, your hotel is like an oasis in a desert. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was a delightful bonus. It left me feeling refreshed and energized, allowing me to enjoy the beach scenery the next morning before returning to the conference. I truly appreciate the heartfelt service, especially from the front desk attendant—her kindness and professionalism made all the difference. Thank you to the entire team for providing such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking comfort, cleanliness, and genuine care. Sincerely,"

The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay

The hotel environment is first-class, and the rooms are very comfortable after the new renovation. It is the most beautiful coastline and the best resort hotel in Half Moon Bay. However, when checking in, I encountered a white female receptionist who was a little unfriendly. We originally booked a large bed bay view room for 7740 yuan. She said that it was behind the main building and the golf course could only see a little sea view. If we are willing to pay an extra 125 US dollars, we can upgrade to a front sea view. My husband paid according to her instructions, but when he went upstairs, he found that it was a double room in the corner, and there was no sofa or desk in it. The bathroom was large but there was no dressing table. It turned out to be a disabled room. When my husband went to negotiate, she still lied to us, saying that none of the rooms had these furnitures, and the photos on Ctrip were from before the hotel was renovated. Now all the rooms are the same, and they could only send us a small table. We were very angry and felt that she did it on purpose, and that it was clearly discrimination. We directly asked to find the manager to complain and informed Ctrip customer service. Ctrip asked us to negotiate on our own first. Fortunately, my husband speaks very good English, and after arguing with reason, we successfully changed the room and upgraded it to a sea view room with a balcony. Later, the manager even wrote a letter of apology in person, which really reflects the service attitude of a top luxury hotel. So let me remind everyone, be careful of racial discrimination with ulterior motives when traveling abroad, and be sure to argue with reason if you encounter such a situation.

The underground parking garage is spacious, and at $30 a day, access with your room key is super convenient. There's a trail right next to the hotel, perfect for walks of any length you choose – very pleasant. The location is excellent, really close to the airport. You can even watch planes land from the trail! Plus, there's a shuttle service to and from the airport. There's also a great restaurant right nearby. Highly recommend!

An unexpected gem just 30 minutes from SFO! We booked a quick, one-night stay at the end of our vacation and were blown away. This is a top-tier, full-service lodge with exceptional amenities, including a great breakfast, pool, sauna, and spa. Best of all? The bed was incredible—hands down the most comfortable sleep I’ve had on vacation in years. We travel frequently for family and European trips, and this place hits every mark. The standout feature is the staff; their level of genuine care easily rivals a J.W. Marriott experience. What started as a simple place to crash left us planning our next return. Thank you, Julie, and your phenomenal staff!

The hotel was a temporary stop, but surprisingly nice. They had a free shuttle bus, and the service was excellent. The double room was on the second floor, with a lake view, and it was very comfortable. I captured a beautiful sunrise in the morning; it was stunning. Overall, I was very satisfied and would consider staying here again for my next layover.
