Hotel Guide - Elmar Beach hotels in , United States of America.

"This property is very dated. The grounds are nice. Our room had a fireplace and the minute we opened the door the smell of smoke was all consuming. I’m not sure what wood they use in the fireplaces, but it had a very odd smell that was overwhelming. The room was clean, and very large. We appreciated that part. We also loved the fact that we could open the sliding glass door to the garden area to circulate some fresh air. I have a feeling that this place was probably top notch when it was built. It served its purpose for our one night in the area. "

"Breakfast was waffles, oatmeal, cereal and coffee tea. Parking seemed safe. Beds were comfortable. Property was old and not up today. "

"Clean room, convenient location. The breakfast had changed within the last year. The breakfast sandwiches are not available; it was scrambled eggs and sausage. "

"This was really just a regular hotel room in an old fashioned building. The breakfast was what you would expect in a hotel - nothing special. The carpets are a bit old and had that old hotel smell. The rooms were not very sound proof. It would be fine if your main reason was to be in Half Moon Bay, and you aren’t looking for a particularly special or pampered experience."

"This was my first time staying here and the place is cute and very close to the shops. Upon arrival there was no one available for check in as advertised on the website and the front door. I also called the phone number on the website and the front door has posted to which no one answered. Thank goodness for a housekeeper and groundskeeper that called the owner (Sandra) to ask what is going on since several families were standing outside to check in. After 2 hours they did an over the phone check in. I spoke with the owner to express my disappointment and she told me if I don’t like it I can go somewhere else then proceeded to hang up on me. I noticed in the common area there was a phone with an answering machine and I see there is 49 calls with messages that has not been answered. After checking the reviews more extensively I’m seeing this is not uncommon at this establishment, as it has happened before. I definitely will not return and I highly recommend other more accommodating hotels in the area. I will say the staff was incredible under the circumstances but didn’t appear to be surprised at the time of the incident. "

"The staff are very supportive. The room is clean and comfortable. The breakfast and snacks are delicious "

"Good communication from owner "

"BEAUTIFUL home in a beautiful neighborhood just steps from the ocean. Everything was clean, well maintained. The owners were so nice and responsive and getting in and out was a breeze. This was the perfect spot for us and our 3 children to stay the week and enjoy the laidback coastal life, but with the ability to venture downtown to San Francisco to take in the tourist sights."

"The host communicated well for any questions. Location is absolutely as described. It is close to the beach and downtown shops and restaurants. The living quarters were clean but things like windows could use improvement. All windows didn’t have screens and the back porch door could not be opened for use. The host was absolutely honest in his description about the conditions and “no frills.” Beds are comfortable….but the couches are low to the ground so older or disabled people may have trouble getting in and out. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay and would book again. "
