Amazing! We got way more than we expected. Stayed in the point Montara room because we wanted a spa tub. We didn't know that there were free complimentary breakfast delivered to your room, free steel water bottles, free wine and cheese platters. This will definitely be our go to stay in half moon bay

The staff is so friendly. Our evening host, Reg, serves up great hors oeuvres at the nightly wine reception from 5pm to 7 pm, then at 7:30 pm desert, usually warm cookies arrive! He's very knowledgeable, so always feel free to converse with him. Our daytime crew serves a fabulous breakfast in our room. We enjoy staying in the main house. From our balcony, we watch the surf, surfers, dolphins, people walking & walking their dogs.

This was a wonderful place. ||The room came with a fireplace and jacuzzi tub. ||The room was exceptional, the bed was comfortable, and the ocean views were amazing! ||Breakfast was served each morning on time, and it was delicious, and there was a wine, cheese, and dessert bar each evening.||The only drawback (and it is not enough to not give them 5 rating) was the outdated TV. They really need to upgrade to TVs that allow you to stream shows. That is the norm these days. ||We had to watch netflix on our small device, because of the old TV set in the room.

Outstanding views and access to beach walks. The staff is cordial and professional. The site is very clean and easy to access from Highway 1. The breakfasts were outstanding and the happy hour was very enjoyable. We try to go as often as we can.

Our stay at Cypress in specifically in Room 15 (Pigeon Point), was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we arrived, we were treated to exceptional customer service that made us feel truly special. This small, 18-room hotel offers a level of intimacy and care that’s hard to find. We loved the nightly happy hour, complete with a variety of fine cheeses and wine, and every evening at exactly 7:20 PM, warm chocolate chip cookies were placed in the lobby making it feel like warm and cozy.

Each morning, breakfast was delivered to our room, featuring chef specials that were simply delicious. One day we enjoyed pancakes, and the next we were spoiled with a crab Benedict loaded with bacon, paired with a carafe of hot coffee.

Room 15, Pigeon Point, was perfect for a peaceful, oceanfront retreat. We spent hours on our cozy balcony watching the waves, bikers, fishermen, and dogs playing on the nearby paths. The location was also ideal, with a great restaurant just a short walk away.

The room itself was clean, quiet, and beautifully appointed. The gas fireplace was heavenly, and falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was incredibly relaxing. We could even sit on the couch and enjoy direct views of the ocean—a rare treat!

Cypress exceeded all of our expectations, delivering first-class treatment throughout our stay. We highly recommend it for anyone looking for a serene, oceanfront getaway. Room 15, Pigeon Point, was truly a gem! Our experience was well worth the expense!

I reviewed this place awhile ago, but forgot a few things. Breakfast was great and delivered to room. Staff was welcoming and helpful. I had a great stay.

This place is delightful. It is right on the ocean and the sound of the crashing waves is so soothing. They brought us a delicious breakfast to our room and we sat there with the sea breeze bathing us, watching birds and boats and even a finny little wave from a sea lion. In the evening there was a lovely selection of wine and cheese, as well as fresh-baked cookies before bed. It's also right on the California Coastal Trail, and when we got up in the morning to go for a long walk there was a cozy fire going and the lobby was welcoming and warm. Bring bikes and you can go all the way down to Half Moon Bay or up to El Granada.

Great breakfast. Staff awesome. View and location the best. Just a little expensive so we save this place for special occasions. We've met people from all over the world and many occupations. We've been invited to Holland and Germany by other guests and the social area hosts Breakfast and happy hour snacks and wine on the house. I could fill a book with the experiences we have enjoyed at Cypress Inn. The staff have become friends we love to visit with. Reggie the evening host is the best people person I've ever met.
