Top 10 Navio Hotels

We were welcomed with glasses of wine at the reception, which made my wife happy. The room with the ocean view was absolutely amazing. It has a separate shower and bath in the washroom, with generous water pressure in the shower head (which is a common issue at many hotels in America). The room service breakfast was fantastic. The dining room downstairs has yummy wagyu steak and an excellent range of wines.

The hotel's environment is particularly good, just 20 meters from the beach by the sea. There are few people on the beach, the sea is very wide, suitable for playing at the beach, or taking a walk. The breakfast at the hotel was good and the restaurant was very comfortable.

This hotel is worth every bit of its 4 star rating and the hotel alone I would rate a 5/5 on Tripadvisor. It has many suites with an absolutely wonderful view of the bay and small airport, especially at night. There are a ton of wonderful photo/facie opportunities from most of the hotel rooms and right across the road from the hotel. However, I dropped one rating point to give the hotel a 4/5 for a few reasons: -- Most of the local restaurants are highly overrated and over-hyped, and on top of that they are massively overcrowded at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the day. -- Most of the local shops are just about the worst mall-like beach tourist-trap shops you'll find anywhere. The first negative alone would be enough to drop 2 points from the Tripadvisor rating, but this hotel luckily has two excellent places to eat and drink right next to it, within 50 feet. One of those is a fish shack called Barbara's Fishtrap, which has vastly better seafood than any other restaurant. The other is Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, which has about a dozen excellent in-house beers available and a fairly full range of restaurant food, including more than just pub food. The exception on the second negative point above is one local shop next to the brewery, which is a nice homey privately-owned shop with interesting small items and clothes. It definitely does not have the typical beach souvenir crap, but items you won't find anywhere else. On the first negative with the local restaurants, you'd expect the in-house restaurant in a 4 star hotel (with room service) to be half-way decent, right? The in-house ”restaurant” is nothing more than a pub with pub food, exactly what the brewery next door is not. It's probably because they can't compete, but still, do something else. We walked in twice, looked around for 5 minutes, and there was nobody there either time, 3pm and 5pm. We just grabbed a menu, looked at it, and it was just random pub food that was likely all microwaved. But the room service for things like wine bottles, glasses, even champagne glasses, was all excellent, living up to any 4 star hotel. Needless to say, this hotel is great for a one-night stay on the weekend or something like that, but there really is very little to do if you stay for more than one night. And, two excellent restaurants gets old fast after two days maximum. Lots of nearby scenery if you're OK with relatively cold beaches like I am, but don't expect more than that and two places to eat.

Someone burned breakfast and caused a fire alarm that woke up every single guest and had to evacuate at 6 am in the morning. Didn't get enough sleep and was very tired the next day to enjoy the beach and other placed we planned to visit. Didn't even get an applogy from the staff. Not happy with the stay. Also the pillow smelled funky and towels were not all new/replaced...especially with Covid still around...disgusting. Paid quite a lot for the value we recieved. Breakfast is very mediocre. If you are going to charge $300+ per night, atleast provide a hot breakfast.

Lovely location and easy to park and walk to the coast

The hotel is on the edge of Highway 1, it is easy to find, parking at the door. Room facilities are ok, but there is a smell in the room, some pungent, when asked when leaving the store, it may be air freshener, and the other is the main road is still noisy. Breakfast is not bad, typical American style, bread fruit coffee yoghurt and the like.

It is a hotel that is a little better than the average motel facilities. Close to the side of Highway 1, but there is a certain distance from the sea, can not walk to the beach can only drive, this position, this price, the price is actually very poor. It takes a few minutes to drive to the seaside hotel in Ritz-Carlton, without a half-dollar relationship. Compared with many hotels within 1000 on the 1st road, the price is very low. The guest who is the best hotel in the United States must have lived in a very bad car hotel throughout the United States. Highway 1 has many hotels close to the beach, and the price is not high and comfortable.

The Miramar Inn and Suites surprised us because it had some bad reviews on Yelp. However, we completely enjoyed our stay at this small independently owned motel. The room was comfortable and somewhat larger than comparably priced hotels in Bay Area. The king size bed was firm but provided excellent sleep. We did not spend much time in the room but it's always nice to have microwave and refrigerator as well as a decent flat screen TV. The bathroom area was spacious and water pressure was outstanding. The room was cleaned and towels replaced daily. The included continental breakfast was exactly what we needed for starting the day, and the coffee machine in the lobby cranked out excellent coffee drinks between 7-10 am.
