Our ferry sailing was cancelled, and there was no problem arranging new time. The double unit was spacious, private and we enjoyed listening and seeing the birdlife nearby. Definitely recommend to friends.
Spacious, bathroom away from main area. Very helpful hosts, included pick up and drop off at terminal. Will look forward to being able to stay there again.
Great room and all staff at the Bay Motel were wonderful providing helpful advice about things to do, a really useful introduction to the area and taking us to the right places to start a walk.
Great location, lovely views. Jeff and wife lovely people very helpful. Only stayed one night wish it could have been longer. Very clean and beds lovely and nice sheets.

Generous studio room with basic kitchen, very comfortable bed, heating and bay glimpses. Free friendly pick-up from, and drop-off to, the ferry was much appreciated!
Bay Motel is located on a hill overlooking Half Moon Bay. Our suite was spacious, clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. It also had a nice balcony off the main room to enjoy the lovely view. Jeff and Helen were gracious hosts with Jeff picking us up at the ferry terminal and returning us upon check-out. Couldn't really ask for more!
Motel was very clean and tidy, great location and huge rooms with comfy beds.
