“What stands out is its acceptance of pets, a real plus given Half Moon Bay's outdoor appeal; also, the updated bedside lamps with outlets show a welcome attention to practical needs. However, the location right on the highway might mean packing earplugs. It presents a fairly standard experience, really defined by its Half Moon Bay address.”
