Thin walls, we could hear our neighbor snoring all night. We could also hear occasional noise traffic from the highway. The ‘fireplace’ was just a wall decoration, not for heat. Room was clean but room was too warm, at least for my husband.

Great Little Place, No problems there with the place. Perfect during the “fogless” time of year. Also the, ‘Press Coffee Shop’, is just steps away; having incredible pastries EARLY in the morning & breakfast all day long. Not to mention you are right across from Mavericks Surf Shop & ‘Half Moon Bay Brewing Co, Mezza Luna, and others. Great little spot, and happy charming staff.
