My wife and I were driving from San Francisco South along California scenic Route 1 on New Year's Day and picked up this hotel at the last moment because it got dark and we wanted to continue in daylight the next morning. We were given an upgraded room with partial ocean view, which felt as homey and cozy as we had not felt in a hotel for a long time. […] The staff was extremely kind and helpful, the hotel was very clean and very neatly decorated and our room was impeccably clean, with a comfortable bed and sofa. The breakfast was also good and as we walked around the hotel in the morning we found a very nice beach right around the corner. We will definitely stay again in this hotel. Read more

Only complaint really is that the hotel has a weird smell and our room smelled pretty gross. At first, I thought the smell was cigarette smoke, but then later concluded that it just had a weird, yucky smell. We only saw 2 restaurants around the area. Breakfast was good, our room was clean, and you can walk out to the "beach" area, which is pretty. Just […] a stopping point - not much to do around town Read more

We stayed here on a referral from other travelers and we were very happy with it. It wasa breeze checking in and out. The bed and pillows were very comfortable which is a rare thing these days. The entire place from handy covered parking garage, lobby, breakfast area and rooms were kept super clean. The lights were great and the room was big, we stayed […] in the king oceanview room. It was very convienent as well, just jump on the freeway and go north or south. The breakfast was good, nice selection for all types of appetities. The room also had a small refrigarator, microwave, and coffe machine. It was a great stay and I would highly recommend this hotel. I wish other hotels would provide so much for not a huge price!! And the location on the beach is just awesome. We just walked over to the beach and enjoyed it. Can also do some hiking from there. Have fresh choclate chip cookies every night too. Read more

If travelling to SF, prefer stay here, in Pacifica. Just 20 minutes by car to downtown SF. Quiet and nice stay near the ocean is much better than over-over-priced hotels in San Francisco or Oakland. Very nice and clean hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Have found this place a great place to stay while visiting San Francisco. This is our third visit and it is a hidden gem by the ocean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The only reason I gave cleanliness a 4 is because the carpet had a mildew smell. The room has a swamp cooler, not an A/C, and I think the use of it adds so much moisture to the air and it eventually settles in the carpet. Other than that, we were pleased. The staff were friendly and the rest of the hotel was beautiful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Room was very nice and updated. Staff was friendly. Everything was great! We will be staying here again for sure.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good - great start to the day. Room was kept clean and hotelv location was good. The views are fantastic-very romantic!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Clean rooms, good service, front desk very hospitable, and breakfast in lobby. Nick's restaurant behind the hotel serves very good food. A lovely Christmas store across the street. Hotel is on Rockaway Beach where you can watch the waves crash against the rocks, or walk the Tsunami Trail to Pacifica Beach to watch the surfers.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn for just one night before staying in San Francisco for the rest of our trip. It was a nice change from staying in the city, with the ocean right there. The Farmers market on Wednesday was great. It is really small, but wonder food. The mango necturines were delicious and the jams were tasty. My wife even had a massage. Room […] was clean, neat, hot water, well located.....only bad point was that the bed was soft and saggy. Read more

Beautiful room with ocean view. Quiet location and lots of nice amenities. A little high priced for a Holiday Inn Express; probably because of the location (on the beach).

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I would go back again, great views 20 min drive to downtown san francisco, kids loved jogging the trails nearby

Genuine Expedia guest review

My stay at this hotel was great. There were a lot of great amenities - nice flat screen tv, comfortable bed, good reading chair and hassock, good lighting, good pressure in the shower and a good, healthy breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. Nice beach right next to the hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We spent 7 days visiting the San Francisco Bay area and stayed at the HI Express in Pacifica. This hotel is in a great location right on the ocean. Everyday was a short and easy drive into the city on Hwy 1 and every evening we could walk on the beach and watch the sunset over the ocean. The staff was one of the best we have ever experienced! They were […] so kind and accommodating! I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone! Check out Gorilla's BBQ just a 1/4 of a mile away - delicious! Read more

The only complaint I have is that the whole entire carter was slightly damp from carpet cleaning? It smelled nice & clean. The beds were very comfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I stayed one night and was very impressed by the personal service the owners provided. They called my room to check if everything was satisfactory and if there was anything else I needed. The room was very clean and nice...overall a very nice place to stay...and the breakfast had a great variety to choose from

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very nice location. Could hear the ocean from our room. Secluded cove was nice. Friendly staff. Clean and nice room. Kind of a funky smell in common area. Lot's of garbage truck noise in the morning one day- but otherwise a great place to stay.

The hotel was immaculate and perfect for our surf contest in Pacifica. I wish we could have enjoyed the breakfast, but had to leave at 7am. We would definetly stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was was very nice and newly updated. I would have never guess how nice it was from the outside. We only stayed one night...we checked in about 7:30pm and checked out before check out. Would have liked to been there longer.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very nice place to stay with your own beach!! Amenities were great.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The complimentary hot breakfast was terrible, the egg omelet was processed food, and attention should be given to a menu change. The location is great just south of San Francisco, but the ocean front view, was also a partial parking lot and motel view, so this room should have been sold as a partial ocean view. The fireplace was a one inch screen […] with a picture of flames rotating up & down, this room should not be advertised as having a fireplace! Read more

Walking distance to the shore,it is defiantly beautiful, beside that they got free breakfast ,we are very enjoy our time here.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very clean and quiet with the ocean right there. Beds were very comfy. We will definitely stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Normally stay at Embassy Suites or Marriott hotels so I was a little weary of a Holiday Inn- let me just say the staff was awesome! The free hot breakfast was great and the view from our room was beautiful. The only thing was our room was a jr. Suite and it was small but that's about the only thing I could of complained about. Will be back hopefully […] this summer. Read more

This hotel was the most uncomfortable experience yet, and I travel each week on business. While the office/desk area was quite nice, as well as bed and kitchen set up, the bathroom was horrible. the problems were the following; bathroom fan stayed on ALL THE TIME, lights would go on off auto, so you would move constantly in bathroom and hall to keep […] them on while getting ready, the temp was set at 70 and could not be lowered or increased. While you are trying to manage expenses please note that it is very uncomfortable listening to a fan for over an hour while getting ready as well as having lights that auto turnoff during the process as well.

All i can say about our stay was that we had reservations for 4 nights and left after 2.When we checked in to our room and first opended the door on the room.It smelled of MOLD.And it smelled of smoke.And its suppose to be a non-smoking hotel.Maybe they should tell the guests in the handicap room that.And that too was a shock.We got a handicap room.No […] thatnks!!So we went down to the desk to ask for another room.And we were offered 5 diffrent types of room spray.Do you think maybe this has occured before.I would say so!! So we stayed only because there wasnt another hotel available. Read more

Everything was very good. Also, the area is wonderful for walking. Highly recommended.

Great stay. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The room was terrific too. Location is perfect - walk to the beach next door, or to restaurants.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I've stayed at this hotel a few times now. It's the best I've found in the area. Great hotel, extremely helpful staff, good location, etc. Really nothing negative I can say -- except that I hope it doesn't become so popular I can't get a room here anymore!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was fine. The room looked just like the photo on the website. It was quiet and very clean. I liked that their was a microwave and sink in the room. It's nice not to have to leave the room to heat something up. Having to use the bathroom sink to wash something other than my face, is a plus. The front desk people were great! Turns out i had […] been chaged twice. Once by HOTELS.com and i payed cash upon arrival. In the morning i received a call from the front desk, stating that i had already been charged, for me to come down and pick up my money. I appreciated that. Great stay, over all. Read more

I travel a lot for business and stay in a lot of hotels in this range. This hotel is among the best, maybe the best I've stayed in. The front desk staff is uniformly friendly and helpful. The lobby area is well-maintained and has a great view of the crashing surf. The room was very comfortable: lots of drawer space, comfortable bed, good shower, etc. […] Nice new flat panel TV. Having a fridge, microwave, and even plates and forks made for a great stay of more than a few days. Breakfast is unusually good with a lot of variety. Coffee, hot chocolate, and juice are available 24/7. The only minor complaint I have is that the parking (covered under the hotel) is a bit cramped. But I've seen far worse, and this is really nothing to worry about. In terms of access, the hotel is right on Hwy 1, about 20 minutes from SFO and downtown (30 min in traffic). There are several good restaurants nearby (Nick's and a gourmet hamburger place in easy walking distance, several others a short drive away). Highly recommend this if you want a get-away hotel in Pacifica, or even if you have business in the area and don't mind driving into the city. Read more

This was my fourth time at this hotel and it is consistently outstanding in every way. The staff is exceptional, particularly Maria who worked the registration desk on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. You would never go wrong booking this facility.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Nice hotel on beach with surfers and kids wading. I chose this to be close to SFO airport, avoid most rush hour traffic and see the ocean. Nice, not great. Free breakfast buffet included hot eggs, bacon, great rolls and the standards. I would stay here again.

It is always a pleasure to stay at this hotel. We are greeted like old friends and treated the same way.
