Oceano Half Moon Bay Harbor

Location: view of boat harbor (not true ocean view- you will not hear waves). There 's a surprisingly busy road in front of ocean view rooms- this was pretty noisy, even on a Monday. They do offer cheap ear plugs for guests ' relief. The Shoppes attached to hotel are a ghost town. There are a few food places in the Shoppes, but it 's obvious that most storefronts have gone out of business. There are a few restaurants near the property that are good- Barbaras Fishtrap, Half Moon Bay Brewery and MezzaLuna. There are also a few smaller distilleries somewhat close by. Rooms- we stayed in King deluxe ocean front. Room has dated decor from late 90s and dated carpet. It has small refrigerator, but no microwave. There is a weird open shutter in the bathroom wall that connects to bed area, so there 's not a lot of privacy there. Bath/soap products were sparse, and toilet paper was the cheapest quality. Bed is super firm. This is not the luxury spa room as purported on their website. If your only expectation is motel level, you 'll probably be perfectly ok with this. Biggest complaint: they advertise on their site room service and spa services. HOWEVER, the Spa as well as room service, is only available Thursday through Sunday. That includes even ordering just a bottle of wine- no food. So if you stay Mon-Wed, you 're outta luck. There are better places to stay in this area. Lesson learned on our part.

Amazing location, safe and clean. Great prices on the weekdays with large well appointed rooms. Great bar and restaurant. My only suggestion would be to replace the carpets and furniture for new. The best hotel in the area by far. No pool but the ocean and Mavericks surf spot right out front. Exceptional location and facilities for a wedding. Would be hard to beat.

We were looking to get away for a lovely weekend retreat and the Oceano was our stop. The bathroom had a soaking tub that fits 1 person and a nice shower stall. There are shutters that open connecting the bathroom to the rest of the suite (for some reason) which allows you to know exactly what is going on in the bathroom. The bathroom toilet is extremely loud upon flushing. The room does come equipped with a fireplace but its not viewable from the bed. The hotel is very well kept and clean. The bed is firm and the sheets are soft. There is also a mini fridge in the room but no microwave. The room does have a view of the harbor and there is a small beach a block away from the hotel. The hotel has free parking. The hotel is not Pet Friendly. You do have a-lot of restaurants and shopping In walking distance and are only 15 minutes from downtown Half Moon Bay. The restaurant on premises is only available Thursday-Sunday. The spa is available but is on limited availability during the week. We felt completely safe during our stay and had no problems with noise.

Gave us an incredible room with an ocean view for our Anniversary as well as a surprise bottle of Champagne! We could not be more impressed. Simply GORGEOUS place!!!

Amazing and good looking hotel with great service and staff. Mateo was really friendly and nice. Really fancy and was happy with my stay. Would definitely go again.
