    Perfect place to stay while enjoying everything Princeton by the Sea has to offer. Well appointed spacious room and bathroom, super comfy bed, it felt very luxurious. Everything smelled really clean and fresh. The ocean view is so beautiful! Robes in the closet, snacks, coffee, hot cocoa and bottled water at the little kitchenette. It's close to everything and we felt safe walking at night. Free ample parking. We'll definitely be back soon, our stay was so restful and relaxing.

    We booked a room last minute on the Inn at Mavericks website. We got SO LUCKY that there was a room available on our anniversary day! This was just 2 days away from the day we booked. Guess it was meant to be.

    I booked last minute and I couldn't believe how beautiful it is here, view to the harbor! Dog friendly! Room is so cozy with fireplace! Easy walking distance to restaurants! Would definitely recommend! Staff very friendly and welcoming!

    We had a really nice time here. we met a really nice staff member by the name of Eluisa, room and bathroom was specious and clean! Most importantly, it's dog friendly! Our little foster baby loved her stay too! They provided us with food and water bowl, towel and poop bag! We will definitely stay here again.

    This is a gorgeous little inn over looking Princeton by the sea. We chose this location because of its view and it's dog friendly. We have two little Boston babies who like to vacation too. The room was very comfortable. Housekeeping does a great job, it's nice and clean. So why 3 stars? The fire pit. Right next door to our room, The Jetty Suite is a fire pit and guess what? It draws a crowd. People can peer right into your little piece of heaven. We were sitting in our "yard" having a cocktail getting ready to watch the sunset. The puppies had just settled down and here comes a group of people with a guitar gearing up for sing-a-long. Dogs started barking as I scurry around in my PJ's. On top of it we had had a really long day, we were tired and I was having one of my world famous migraines. I just wanted peace and quite. At almost $400 bucks a night, that's a reasonable request. There is not a lot of privacy between the fire pit area and the room's yard area. It didn't help that "singer boy" and his guest peeked over the fence to see what we were doing. And I don't necessarily mind sing-along's. It's just they were right on top of our space. We were able to drown out them out by turning up the TV. Not ideal. If I had known that there was a fire pit next to the room I would never have booked it. My antenna did go up when I saw earplugs by the bedside table. Silly me thought it was for foghorns and boats ;) Update! The manager Connie did reach out to us and said they have never had this problem before. She did invite us back and said that we should book a room that's not next to the fire pit. We may do that.

    The family and I spent two nights at the Inn at Mavericks. The inn is located on Pillar Point Harbor in the tiny hamlet of Princeton-on-the-Sea. Technically within the confines of Half Moon Bay. The Inn at Mavericks consists of six well appointed suites. The suites on the lower level are dog friendly and have a large patio area with a small amount of grass. We stayed in the Flat Rock suite. It had a king size bed and a futon. Which is where our daughter slept. There is also a small kitchen type area that had a Kerug coffee maker and a countertop ice maker that can in handy for making cocktails. The bathroom was really large. The best part was the shower. So spacious and the water pressure was perfect. I wish I had one like it at home. Daily housekeeping is offered at no extra charge which is nice. Check-in is contactless. Your key and a welcome letter are in an envelope in a mailbox in front of the "office". There is a communal fire pit if you want to sit outside and take in the incredible view with the warmth of a fire. The best feature of the Inn at Mavericks is it is within walking distance to numerous restaurants. There is a brewery across the street that is only open Thursday to Sunday. A distillery around the corner that is open Thursday to Sunday as well. Barbara's Fish Trap, Old Princeton Landing, Half Moon Bay Brewing Company and Mezza Luna are all within a five to ten minute walk.

    We spent the weekend in the Mavericks Suite and had a fabulous time!! The outdoor area and views were spectacular. The furnishings inside the suite were adequate, nothing to write home about, but the mattress was very comfy which is so important. The bathroom was very nice and the size of the suite was nice too. Great location, you can walk everywhere. We already made reservations to come back, so I would definitely recommend if visiting in the area especially if you want to bring your dog. I definitely am a fan of the Inn!!

    Beautiful patio view

    Beautiful hotel! In a quiet peaceful area but walking distance to everything. I love this hotel it was beautiful and relaxing! The room is nice big and cozy with amazing views right off the water.

    We really enjoyed staying here. First time traveling with our 6lb Chorkie, he seemed right at home. The view from our patio were phenomenal. The room had binoculars and it was great to look out at wildlife. We stayed at the The Flat Rock room. The room was spacious and the bathroom was a great size as well. The fog horn is a bit annoying but it didn't not bother our sleep. We welcomed and enjoyed the sea lions barking. The Inn is within walking distance to a small mall, restaurants, bars and Pillar Point Harbor. Many other beaches near as well. We took advantage of the extra add on for wine and chocolates. It was a great treat for my husband and I, the wine that is and the chocolate for our kids. The Inn also had a small basket of complimentary treats and a couple water bottles. The only gripe I have is that the pull down sitting sofa that is intended for extra sleeping is not for two people. My two teenage boys did not fit comfortably. It should only be intended for one person (under 5'2" feet) or two very small children (age 6 & below). Note, because of the pandemic no ice is offered. Hope to visit again.

    My husband and I stayed here on our mini-moon in 2017 and have stayed here for our anniversary every year since. I was expecting them to be closed this year because of COVID, but they were able to be open ( which is such a huge blessing to us! Because who doesn't deserve a brief reprieve from the chaos of this year?) We live in the Bay area, but love to come here because it feels like a totally different world without actually having to deal with the headache that can be travel. The service is beyond compare, and the bottom three floors can accommodate dogs ( which is a huge bonus for us!). There is also a big tub, fireplace, mini-fridge, and microwave! ( Everything you need for a sort-of-shelter-in-place anniversary!) I should mention, we stay in the same room every time, the Maverick, so I can't speak for the other 5 rooms, but I imagine they are equally awesome. There are good food places nearby (that offer take-out) and the views are perfect. If you are looking for a simple place, with great service, great views, and great food, then this is the place for you. There are also quite a few excursion places nearby ( charter boats, kayaking, etc. - which I admit, we haven't tried yet). There is a spa nearby that I would normally treat myself to a massage at, that also has very good service. P.s. they also supplied us with our own bottle of sanitizing spray (which, again, is helpful in a COVID world.) In short, this place is a wonderful place to escape from the chaos of today, and we will of course be returning every chance we can.

    Well, high marks for harbor views - the balcony had some of the best I've ever seen. And, it was easy walking distance to a number of good restaurants and beaches. The room was size-able and quite attractive and the oversize soaking tub was most welcome. Our upstairs room (The Dunes) had windows on 3 sides, which were truly a boon as we stayed there during a very rare heatwave*. No airconditioning, but opening all the windows and doors gave a lovely cross breeze. We enjoyed the "atmospheric" sounds of the fog horn and steady parade of single engine airplanes (right overhead) for the first couple hours. But, as the evening wore on, it got quite old. So, yes, noisy; especially when the dog-friendly rooms downstairs lead to a barking fest. The other draw back was the lack of service. A very bare coffee-snack tray was not well stocked, even tho I tipped extra and asked for more than 2 coffee pods. There was no one on site outside of a housekeeping lady for a few hours a day. The phone number for service was an unattended message machine. Yet, it was sort of exciting to witness a major lightening storm from the balcony in the middle of the night (remember CZU August Lightening ?). But the wind and pressure changes led to quite a scramble and fight to get the windows closed. The trap door to the attic flapped like mad until we got buttoned up. And, some how, that caused the smoke alarm to beep every minute for the rest of the night. Added to the fog horns and disturbed barking of the harbor seals, it was not conducive to sleep. Note: we did discover two sets of earplugs in the rooms after the 1st night. In someways, I would not have wanted to miss the cute parade of planes overhead, nor the rare chance to see a storm. But there was no one to respond to the malfunctioning alarm and the noise factor got me down.

    The suite doors do NOT have flip locks (at the top of the doors) for added security.

    Last month I stayed at the Inn at Mavericks while I was in town visiting family. Upon arriving I was taken aback at just how gorgeous the view is here (photos cannot accurately capture the beauty). There really is no suite without a great view! They provide binoculars in each suite so guests can take in all the wonder . . . what a nice touch. The 'noises' other Yelpers have mentioned did NOT bother me. The bellowing noises of the frolicking sea lions add to the charm, in my opinion. Yes, the fog horn can be annoying. Unless you are a light sleeper, this should not be an issue (they do provide complimentary earplugs). Sadly, I CANNOT give Inn at Mavericks a 4 or 5 star review because they seem to have issues with guest privacy and security . . . I stayed here during the COVID pandemic (in Sept. 2020). In my suite there was a laminated placard (see photo) stating: "During your visit to the Inn at Mavericks housekeeping will not enter your room unless requested". Imagine my surprise the next morning when one of their employees opened the door to my suite without knocking. Also, I was in the middle of getting dressed when she opened the door. And, no, I had not put in a request for housekeeping, so there was absolutely no reason for their employee to open my door. It is worth noting this incident could have easily been avoided if: 1) Inn at Mavericks followed their own policy and protocols 2) the employee would have simply knocked before opening my suite's door 3) the suite doors had flip-locks at top (they do NOT: see my photo) After this breach occurred, I sent the Inn at Mavericks an e-mail stating what happened. Melissa Rey promptly apologized and acknowledged that nobody should have been entering my suite. However, I was never given an explanation of why the incident happened in the first place.

Location wise, short walk to the putting area and club house. The only drawback is it's a 2-story and no elevator. Good old fashion stairs with 2 landings before you reach the top. I watched a guest struggle, carrying HEAVY looking luggages to the second floor. My complimentary glass water bottle fell out of my purse and crash landed on the foyer floor as soon as we entered our room and I had to quickly use towels to sweep the shards and water before I can admire our space. I'm glad there was an abundance of towels as oppose to other hotels where it's an exact set on occupancy. Staff was attentive to get it cleaned up as well as provide an iron and board. They only offer steamer in the room. Our room is well appointed with nice calming colors. Loved how our room had a balcony. Not all upper units have one. A couple of inconveniences: the person below us had their music loud with bass during the day and then again during the evening around 10pm. I didn't call, as I was tempted to but only if it continued. They finally stopped at a decent time. The second was a first floor guest smoking weed. Some permeated through our window because I dropped my spoon on the floor (we ordered room service). It was verified when I opened the balcony door real quick to make sure it's what I smelled. We also experienced some odd protocols after we had a nice lunch at Mullin's (clubhouse). We thought it would be nice to have dessert at the outdoor ocean terrace area. We walked the grounds and asked if we can have a seat with shade. One staff went to check, however once I mentioned we were looking at getting dessert, the hostess turned it around and said for us sit at the bar or seating area beside the hostess stand. What was left were seats in the sun, plus in the seating area folks were sitting here and there. We wanted a table, which I did see there were some closer to the greens. I felt that as an overnight guest, it wouldn't matter dessert or meal, I'm a paying guest, not a visitor. So we left and went to check out The Conservatory. I checked in with the host and mentioned we'd like to have dessert (I was asked if any allergies) and was asked if we'd like the traditional seating area which would be a wait. We waited and got a table in the center. We got the menu and asked for the dessert menu. We were told not in that area, but the next one over. We were confused. I even saw the fake display dessert where we sat. And after all that waiting, we succumbed and just ordered food. Even with these oddities, we still had a great time. Staff provided excellent service. From check-in (Justin), adjusting keys for late check out (Stephen) to staff at Mullin's (we are there again before we left the property), golf staff, room service, to the front greeters at valet. The bag pipe performance, as he walked down the pathway was beautiful. The property views, just amazing!!!! We'd love to come back next year. The Ocean House would be the next spot.

    I typically don't leave a bad review because I can understand a business will have an off day but…read morethis was something I just could not get past. I ordered room service and was overwhelmingly disappointed, every dish just got worse. The Caesar salad could've easily came from a bag, and the dressing was so thick it wouldn't come out of the saucer. The French fries were cold and stale, like they were made earlier and waiting for someone to order. The braised beef was not braised in any way. The beef was so dry it was hard to chew, with minimal sides. After contemplating to DoorDash something else since I was left hungry, still, I decided to give room service a second shot and order dessert. The dessert is what prompted me to leave this review. I've stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Dana point and do not remember such service. The ice cream was nearly melted when arriving to the room if you can't serve it close to frozen then it shouldn't be on the menu. And the cookies 100% came from Costco bakery. I was blown away with how cold they are. How do you serve cold chocolate chip cookies? Again, probably plate it, and then sitting in the fridge. With such a beautiful hotel and location, I would recommend eating elsewhere. $300 wasted on prepackaged food. I'd rather stay at the four seasons.

Daily breakfast is included with your stay. The breakfast consists of pastries, bagels/ cream cheese, yogurt, oatmeal and hard-boiled eggs. They also offer gluten-free bread and pastry options, which I appreciate. Coffee, tea and juices included. There is no hot food. One thing to point out is the rooms do not have air-conditioning. This typically isn't an issue because half Moon Bay runs cooler and comfortable temperatures for most of the year but my husband and I do prefer a colder room at night time so we slept with the door open. There was no ceiling fan, but they do have a couple of portable fans stored in the closets for use. Shower in our room had low water pressure, so not great for those with longhair. The hotel is right next-door to Sam's chowder House so easy walk. Beach access-there is a beautiful walking path right downstairs, which you can access from the hotel. The only thing between the walking path and the ocean is some rocks. I was told by a local that the water directly in front of the hotel is not swimmable but there is beach access with some water about 5 minute walk down the path. The path is smooth so easy for strollers, bikes or other means.

    My wife and I have been frequent guests at this hotel, but our recent stay was a complete…read morenightmare. We were meeting with friends for a stay and play golf, and they informed us that we had to pay in advance for the golf passes for both courses. I had paid $1586 three weeks in advance. On Tuesday, September 15th, we arrived at the hotel at 10 am and went to the front desk. We were greeted by Jessica, who seemed lost and clueless about her duties. She asked for a card, which is standard practice for hotels, but instead of reimbursing us, she charged us the full amount. Jessica promised to reimburse us, but she couldn't provide us with a receipt. This is unacceptable, and we should have been reimbursed immediately. To make matters worse, we discovered that the bar was open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but we had no idea about it. We had been staying at the hotel for three weeks and had never noticed the bar. Before we checked out, I went to the front desk again and asked Jessica why we couldn't just get a refund for the card. She refused to do so and took 20 minutes to explain her position. We will never return to this hotel and will strongly advise others to avoid it. I will also contact all review platforms where we can post a review and will fight for a full reimbursement. Finally, I want to address the issue of Jessica. She needs to be removed from the front desk immediately.

    We booked a quick overnight stay at Half Moon Bay Lodge for our 1 year wedding anniversary and for…read morethe most part, we really enjoyed our stay! Our stay was around $500 for one night, which felt pretty steep for what you get. I personally wouldn't say it was worth $500/night but if you can find a lower rate, I think it would be a great option! Check in was super easy and they actually let us check in about 2 hours early. We mentioned to the front desk that we were celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary & they surprised us with a complimentary bottle of wine which was such a sweet touch! Our room was spacious and we had a partial view of the golf course. I loved the balcony to relax. The bed was really comfortable and parking was easy. One thing to know: THERE IS NO AC! Our room was pretty stuffy but thankfully we were on the second floor and were comfortable sleeping with the sliding door open. I probably wouldn't have felt as comfortable doing that on the first floor. I had also heard that the walls can be pretty thin, but luckily our neighbors were quiet during our stay, so we didn't have any issues with noise. The jacuzzi was a highlight! It's large and the jets are nice and strong. They also have a beautiful outdoor patio area with couches, tables and chairs, fire pits, and outdoor games, which would be really nice for hanging out with friends or family. The location is excellent, only about 3 minutes from the Ritz-Carlton and the Half Moon Bay Golf Links/Ocean Course, so it's super convenient if you're planning to golf or explore the area. The complimentary continental breakfast was probably the most underwhelming part. They had bagels, oatmeal, cereal, scrambled eggs, sausage, and waffles. It was fine, but I was surprised there weren't any potatoes or a few more options. We enjoyed our stay! I'd definitely consider staying here again, especially if I could find a better rate. It's a comfortable, convenient spot with some really nice amenities and a great location!

    Cute rooms! Great sauna and hot tub, my bf and his kids played lawn games for a bit. Breakfast was…read moreplentiful. We had a fireplace in our room however we thought it was going to be gas. So that was a slight disappointment.
