I read all the reviews before going there and I don't know what people are complaining about! Certainly it's noisy as an old hotel who has music can be but the music dies down at 11-12pm so not a problem. We really enjoyed the stay and the personnel are friendly and helpful but do not suffer fools kindly! The bed... More

Best sandwiches on the coastside. Homemade bread, fresh ingredients, and baked goods. More importantly, incredibly reasonable prices More

This stay reminded me of some of my stays in modestly priced pensiones through Italy. The room was adequate with the essentials of a comfy bed to sleep in. Earplugs took care of the bar noise. We stayed in room 4. We got towels and 2 bottles of water for our 2 night stay. There were no cups or glasses.... More

We came on a groupon so it was worth it from that standpoint. We found the room to be very clean and the queen bed comfortable with nice sheets and pillows. Yes it is old but nice high ceilings. Breakfast was OK with coffee, tea, fresh hard boiled eggs, pastries, cereal and fruit. If you want absolute quiet and luxury,... More

We just came from a weekend getaway at the San Benito House on a groupon special. My husband and I had trouble booking a weekend to use the groupon before it expired, so we ended up downgrading to a room without a bath (it was that or lose the deal I'd already purchased). While we had a blast, I would... More

I agree with the other reviewers' comments about noise. Unfortunately, the quiet rooms aren't that much quieter. Check-in at the bar went smoothly and the room was clean. Parking was not difficult - there was plenty of street parking even on a Saturday night. The bathtub in the bathroom was fun. Sadly, the music was loud and lasted late. The... More

After browsing through some reviews we decided this was the place of our choice. It turned out to be a bar that happens to have some rooms... We had a room with bathroom, which might not have been the smartest decision if it would have been busy, there is only one toilet and one shower for 9 rooms... Our room... More

I'm hijacking another reviewers title , because I completely agree. It was not your usual hotel stay, but it was fun. We, too, have been to HMB often, but live too close and never stayed over night. I wish I would have known about the Groupon, but our price was reasonable at $129 a night.f we shared a bath it... More

We recently drove the 35 miles from San Fancisco to Half Moon Bay to celebrate our 45th anniversary. We go there often for lunch but decided to "hang out" at leisure for 2 nights. We had a 2-for Groupon for the San Benito House, and we'd read quite a few local reviews about its lively/noisy activity on weekends. This is... More
