Top Elmar Beach Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Half Moon Bay/Miramar Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Second time here - does what it says on the tin"

Coastal Retreat | Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, well stocked with anything you may need. Very comfortable and clean. Parking was easy once we realized we needed to go to the back of the property. Close to the beach by car, little over a mile walking but it's a straight shot. Very much enjoyed the stay and would recommend!"

Affordable Ground Floor Unit In The Heart Of HMB Downtown: Former Mayor's House

10/10 Excellent

"Incredibly reasonable. The host was extremely accommodating. The location in downtown Half Moon Bay can't be beat."

Mill Rose Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The garden was beautiful, and our room was spacious, bright, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was great. The only thing I would suggest is having a little more variety at breakfast. Overall, a lovely experience! Beki B."

Miramar Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is basically a top dollar hotel at an inexpensive price for what you get. I just wanted to get a decent place to stay for the night at a fairly cheap price. The location was excellent and when I walked into the large room I was impressed. Granit counter tops on the dresser and the desk, a nice leather love seat in the corner of the room, and very clean. It had what looked like a nice breakfast setup with waffle makers, but I had to leave too early to eat. Very happy with my stay."
