Searching...

I came here to spend some quiet time alone and have stayed in the hotel side in the past and this was my first visit in the B&B side. I'll be candid...I had some concern but the room was lovely, the bed was comfortable, linen was soft and my location was quiet. I was on the ground floor in room number 4. As far as the noise goes this is an old house and it is to be expected to hear some noise and being considerate of your neighbors is on us. I thought being close to the dining room would be an issue but I had no complaints, other than the murmur of conversation it was quiet.I wouldn't consider staying anywhere but here for the value (hotel side), for a spurge of self-pampering and romance (B&B side), and the customer service. This is a great place to visit if you want a minimum commercial free experience to your coastal holiday. Yes, people have bad days and as a guest we should never be subjected to it but once I addressed my one experience among many great experiences (over the years) the issue was handled promptly by management. My favorite part is running into other repeat guests during my visits.You are at the heart of a wonderful relaxing environment. If walking is not an issue the beach is not that far away and as a single woman I have always felt safe walking alone. The restaurants and coffee shop within walking distance are excellent and I have to admit that I have gotten stuck on visiting the same restaurants but when I wanted to try something new I was not disappointed. Staff gave great recommendations for dining and entertainment. If you are lucky to arrive when the free walking tour is offered by a local tour business I recommend taking the short, informative, walkabout.

I listened to every word of a drunk couple until 1am next door. The offending room strangely had a set of keys in the door the next morning at 7am..Was it an employee I heard?.. Room was decorated like a plain white entry level studio apartment. Plain, nothing like a B&B I have stayed in before. No help(card) to figure out how to operate the two remotes connected to the older television, but it worked after I experimented. The room was clean, but reminded me on the inside of a highway motel. The town is nice. Other B&B's with much more character. Couldn't wait to leave. The exterior maintenance condition of the 2nd level walks indicates problems to me. Free folgers coffee in the room,

The walls in this hotel are pretty thin, so you wouldn't want parties next door. However, it's located on Main Street and is convenient to restaurants, galleries and shops. Also, the breakfasts served at Zaballa House are delicious.

I booked this hotel because the location was on Main Street. I knew it wasn't going to be great but I was disappointed. First of all, we arrived a couple of hours early and I thought I would check in, even if the room wasn't ready. The inn keeper was not welcoming to say the least. She "allowed" me to check in early since the room was ready. The room...... it was probably the worst one in the entire place. It was on the second floor of the other building. The room was a stuffy so I wanted to open the window. Well, the window that had a screen was broken and wouldn't budge! The open that was working, didn't have a screen, I left it open for a few minutes just to get some fresh air. The bed was okay, the pillows were flat and I asked for 2 extra pillows just to make it somewhat comfortable. Stains on the carpet and they claimed to have cable TV.... well, maybe ours was turned off because we could only get 6 channels that were in English and the rest were in Spanish! Very frustrating and disappointing. Breakfast was okay..... stale bagels with jam so old it was petrified when removed from the container. Also, the walls are paper thin. There is an "office" next to our room and a guy was making phone calls at 7:30AM and I could hear his whole conversation. I can continue but if you are reading this, you can guess I won't be going back to this hotel. The only good thing about this place is the location, it is walking distance to everything on Main Street, which is a huge plus!!!

The Zaballa House in Half Moon Bay is the oldest surviving structure in Half Moon Bay. It is located in the heart of the town and close to many interesting sites. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Why not over quite, it is more so during the weekdays. We stayed there during the annual town Christmas parade, which was fun. It is a great place to stay due to centrally you can travel to many great sites and attractions. San Friancisio is very close and an easy drive or Santa Cruz heading south. Next to the main house are little shops including a art gallery where there is lots of local art and photos of the surrounding area.
