Quick and easy check in. Attractive lobby. Nicely decorated room. Deluxe King was roomy, clean, with a pectacular views of the boat harbor and Pacific Ocean. Balcony overlooks the oceanfront roadway; which can get a little noisy (motorcycles and motorists) on a busy weekend. Excellent walkable access to good restaurants, shops, bike rentals, breweries! Room pricing can be a little on the expensive side, however.

It was a pleasure staying at this property. The property itself is beautiful. We had a room overlooking the bay which was gorgeous. The property is close to a walking trail along the water and a choice of delicious restaurants. Special shout out to Barabara's Fish Shack. It was a great stay and we would stay at Oceano again!

The Oceano is truly a hidden gem so close to San Francisco but a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We enjoyed the relaxing vibe in the town of Half Moon Bay, the people were so friendly. Our room was perfect! The lobby is beautiful, the ocean view is breathtaking! Definitely will plan to visit again!

Beautiful hotel with a nice view. We came to check in after lunch and the room was ready. Check in was fast and easy. The room was amazing and I loved how the sitting area was separate from the sleeping area. Only thing I would improve is that since it was kind of raining on and off the balcony ended up having a puddle outside. I wish they had a broom outside so we could push the water off the balcony.

It's walking distance to Half Moon Bay Brewery and Hop Dogma Brewery. It's also walking distance to multiple restaurants. It's a good place for a couples and family to stay. Overall a good place to stay with good view of the ocean.

Beautiful property w. Excellent service
This was a last minute decision. We got in the car with a bag with no destination or plan. We ended up in La Granada and did a little sight seeing and had lunch and decided to stay. I found the room on Expedia veey quickly and booked it. The price was extremely reasonable che l in took less than 5 minutes in and out. The desk staff was very quick and friendly. We had a balcony room over the harbor in the middle of a storm. We werent expecting the upgrade so nice surprise.We turned on the fireplace, ordered food from room service and picked a movie. The room was beautiful and clean. The bathroom and soaking tub are both huge. Shower was hot and had great pressure. I even used the kuerig in tje morning ( i never do because i worry about mold but the machine was immaculate). Over all wonderful stay and we will absolutely be back soon

One night getaway.
We stayed for 1 night. We arrived at 1230pm and asked to see if we were able to do an early check in AND yes, we were accommodated an early check in. The room was beautiful, clean and our ocean view was wonderful! We already had a pre scheduled couples massage at the spa. Our spa experience was excellent!! I would have loved to extend my stay but I just couldn’t. Next time for sure I will stay longer. ONLY reason I’m giving a 4 star/5 star is because they only have dining/food room service Thu-Sun and on Wed night around 6pm I was craving dessert BUT they were closed. We ended up leaving for dessert but really didn’t feel like leaving our cozy room. Other than that, everything else was PERFECT! Our stay was very relaxing-Highly recommend this Hotel.

The Hotel was very nice and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were in great condition, clean and cozy! The decor in the main areas was very nice. The only thing that I didn’t much care for was the rug in the main areas of the hotel. In my opinion it didn’t match the decor, not a big deal. Other than that. We had a wonderful time. Would definitely stay again.

Oceano is a hidden gem in HMB with nice comfortable rooms, great views and a friendly staff. Plenty of quality restaurants in the area including a brewery. We happen to be there during a small arts festival which was literally around the corner and was a lot of fun! Great place for couples looking for a weekend get-away!

Great hotel room, great staff. Hotel is right across from a dock. There was a boat honking its horn in 15 second intervals the whole day and night. Made it feel less like a resort in my opinion. Though it should’ve been more quiet it was a great stay and I would go back.
