Top El Granada Hotel Reviews

Oceano Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff , let us in room early , let us stay late on check out, spa was great , will be back soon"

DoubleTree by Hilton San Francisco South Airport Blvd

8/10 Good

"Hotel appearance was nice. Lobby was nice and clean. Front desk staff were nice. My room had a few issues, but I dealt with it. The room floors were a bit dirty still so it could have used another pass through with vacuuming. There were stains on the wall in the bathroom (near the toilet), along with the couch. The bed was comfortable and clean sheets. One major thing was the AC. Even though it worked, the room temp would not go above 64F. It was on heat mode and I tried to set the room temp to 70 but temperature remained at 64. Had to turn off the AC overnight since it was too cold but had to turn it back on in the middle of the night since the room was getting a bit stuffy. Overall 3/5 rating"

The Beach House Hotel Half Moon Bay

8/10 Good

"Tv in area by beds did not work. When we left the next day I told this to office and I think she said we should have pushed ‘2’ but there was no directions telling us how to use. So we used tv in front room area which was nice. I wanted to charge my apple phone and only plug by bed resulted in me unplugging the lamp by the bed. I couldn’t have a lamp and charge phone. Outlet didn’t match my phone charge for apple phone. Why? Otherwise nice place and close to wonderful restaurant. Was expensive tho."
