    Yuck. Listed as a $$$ hotel, I paid over $200 a night for a run down room with zero services. I relied on the reviews posted on hotels.com and booking.com, I unfortunately missed the more accurate recent reviews left here on Yelp regarding the condition of this place. Pros -The outside of the building looks nice -The property was quiet at night -View of the ocean is nice -Complimentary coffee/hot chocolate machine in the lobby -Bedding was clean Cons -Please check out photos of our room (run down and dirty) -One small trash can for a room that fits 4 people -2 bath towels for 4 people on a two day stay -Staff never showed up to replenish linens or tidy up room -Microwave stored in shelving under tv with no way to plug it in -Refrigerator door collides with cabinet it is stored in making it very difficult to open and close -No info provided at check in and also no info provided in room regarding pool, on site restaurant, where one might acquire some ice....etc -wifi is almost non existent.

    Location is pretty for an ocean view room, good if your on a budget, clean ish for basic sleeping and showering but outdated and damaged rooms.

    BLACK MOLD. Save yourself the trouble and don't book here. Booking.com has this hotel rated much higher and it's so wrong. We weren't in our room 15 minutes when I started noticing mold everywhere. Our lamp was broken and the handle on our dresser falling off. The bed was old and creaky, we immediately went down to the office to ask for a refund. Destiny said we needed to call booking.com to cancel and they'd confirm the cancellation with them. We parked and called and our representative put us on hold when they tried to call the hotel and no one responded even though we saw someone at the desk. It's been three days with no response and no refund.

    Frustrated.. My fiancé had dreamed of staying at this hotel for many years, and she finally booked it. There were many idyllic fantasies of our second night of vacation. Our first was spent in Tahoe, right on the beach. This one needed to meet a high bar. Before we even bring in our things, she's having issues with the WiFi. She tries the TV and it has Bluetooth technology but won't connect to WiFi so you can't access any features or streaming services. She tried the jacuzzi bath, and it fills quickly but doesn't reach a good temperature. She says the bed is too hard. She's having a really hard time and the staff is very unhelpful. She did this for me, and is heartbroken things aren't perfect. I think the goal of hospitality is perfection, and this does not make the cut.

    Front desk person was sweet. Lots of issues with the computer, and it was more expensive than the online rate so she said to book it online and she would honor that price. If you are a person who is expecting luxury or has expectations about a hotel experience being super relaxing or having a fabulous ambience, this is not your place. But if you're okay with a comfortable place to crash for a night at the last minute that's more of a motel 6 style, this place will be great. They are in the process of remodeling and our room was clean. But it's not polished by any means. Our mirror was falling off the hinge, there was no screen door. The water was lukewarm. There was a nice heater in the bathroom. Everything felt very clean. No bathtub. Our room had a microwave and a refrigerator. I would come back to rent a room if I didn't feel like spending too much money.

    If I could leave a zero I would. My family stayed here for two nights, just as others have said I should have looked at the reviews. DO NOT STAY HERE! Let me count the ways that this has been the worst hotel experience I have ever had: (I will start with the order in which I experienced the disappointment) - Parking was very difficult, getting into the tight spaces when the hotel is crowded was stressful (and I have a small vehicle), barely able to fit around the posts between spots. - The room had ripped drapes, the curtains were falling off the track and the guide or handle to open the curtains was broken off. - Drawer pulls on the dresser were missing - Carpet had large holes where the carpet met the tile -Tiles around the in room jacuzzi had large chunks missing/if you stepped on it was sharp and exposed -House keeping never came to clean our room or give us fresh linen...nothing...not even a sign that they cleaned their rooms. I used to be a housekeeper at a large hotel chain, I never once saw a cart down a hallway that made it seem like the rooms were taken care of. -OUR CEILING WAS LEAKING! Leaking in 3 places and dripping on the bed we were sleeping in...it started leaking at midnight and woke me up because of the sound because it was right next to my head. Not only was this obviously not a new occurrence, there was evidence of repair in several locations of the ceiling and mold in those spots. -The cost of the room 200+ a night you would expect a great experience...especially with the false advertising on their website, the room we stayed in looked nothing like the images on the website and the experience promised was not delivered. - Worst of all we asked to be moved on the first night and were told nothing was available...we didn't move hotels because we had arrived late in the day and had a flight to catch in another day and thought ok...we will stick it out, but little did we know the next night our ceiling would start leaking. When I went down at midnight to let the front desk know the ceiling was leaking they told me sometimes that happens with a heavy fog! WHAT! EXCUSE ME! We made several attempts in person and via their website to speak to management and get a refund or some sort of acknowledgment of an apology, NO RESPONSE from anyone after 14 days of our initial complaint. - I have called and tried again to communicate with management and still no response. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. Update: After I posted multiple 1 star reviews on various websites for this hotel, management finally called me back and issued a full refund. But not before telling me my email messages that I sent through their website to attempt to get a hold of them went to their spam folder. Ok, not sure how it is my fault that the link you have for customers or a future customer to communicate with you on your own website doesn't work. They also mentioned that not all the rooms are this way...ok again, how does this matter to me as I experienced the room I got and it was disappointing. They seemed to have an excuse for everything. Still would not recommend.

    Ceiling falling in.

    Don't stay here! The rooms are under construction and should not be rented until completed and inspected. They allowed us to book two rooms and when we arrived they were is disarray and would not give us a full refund even though they falsely advertised the rooms! Parking is horrible and not handicapped accessible. I don't know how the city gives them a completed order to occupy they should shut it down!

    Filth. Dirty room

    Absolute crap. This place should be ashamed of themselves for even letting people stay in this room. I paid $400 for a room worse than Motel 6. I will NEVER go back to this place or recommend it. It's a complete dump, stay far away.

    Beautiful building across the street to the state beach. Note that they are in the process of renovating. I'm so glad that I got the newly renovated room, the walls need fresh paint to match the renovated room. I am very picky about cleanliness. The place is pretty run down but is in a good location and a place to stay for a night or two.

We found the Anchor Inn to be conveniently located to all of the things that encompassed to us a perfect overnight getaway: beach access, coffee, brews, good food, and scenic views in a safe space. The Anchor Inn checked all the boxes and then some. Spacious enough for 2 adults and a baby (we noticed other families in the units next to ours), the Inn has private stays that include a kitchen, bathroom with shower/towel/amenities, TV in sitting room, chairs to sit on balcony, bedroom with TV also, and heated floors! I usually walk around barefoot at home (not a surfer, but this most be an awesome feature for those hitting the waves all day), and I was pleasantly surprised when my toesies were warm all day/night..such a unique and fun feature! Customer service is excellent and they checked in on us by cell to see if we needed anything additional. Another great feature is your own parking right next to the front doorway. Very convenient for multiple trips with a little one! As mentioned, down the driveway you can get to Grocery Store Outlet, Soul Grind Coffee Roasters, Humble Sea Brewing, and a few other eateries and shops depending on what you're in the mood for. There's also a safe and convenient pathway (check the open field slightly to the left) that leads directly to the water if you're looking to board, bring the kiddos to play, or just looking for a nice walk alone or all the romantic feels. Did I mention you can also get directly to the Taco Bell in Pacific this way? Just a 10 or less minute walk if you're looking for the cantina vibes! Whether you're looking for a getaway with a friend or two, solo trip, or bringing the family, I can't say enough great things about this hidden gem. We're already thinking of making this a tradition for fall 2025!

    Getting close to our SF trip and I had to make a decision, I already booked 2 nights in the City (…read moreUnion Square), plans were to explore the city by foot but I also want to check out the Pacifica area as I've never been. So canceled the original plans and here we are. I am so glad because I sure did alot during our short stay. Fairfield Inn & Suites is a beachfront hotel in Pacifica, with modern amenities and stunning ocean views. The hotel is super close by to Pacific State Beach on your left and Rockaway Beach on your right if you are facing the ocean. There are few other hotels, shops, & eateries nearby. I've always seen Pacifica sign on the highway and we got an idea of where, really close to Daly City & SFO. The drive in to Pacifca from SFO was really nice and quick . When we arrived at the hotel, our room wasn't quite ready yet and I wanted the ocean view , staff Angelica was very accommodating, she tried her best to make it work that we get ocean room views. We waited a bit for the room so we hanged outside, enjoyed the breathtaking view of Pacifica Beach & ate our lunch ( we got take out) We got a text that our room are ready. Check is was simple, Angelica also gave & share some info. on Pacifica area. I also was helped by Michele when we checked out and she was friendly as well, love the Aloha spirit here! I really enjoyed our stay at Fairfield, only 2 floors, I heard that this hotel use to be a Days Inn. I had no problems, we slept well, staff were friendly. Complimentary breakfast was great. I loved the coffee dispensing machine available from 11 am- 5 pm. Note, parking is $15. if you park in the hotel's parking lot or free if you park just right across the hotel, we opt to save $ so we didn't park in the lot, parking is on a first come first serve basis. During this stay we were able to explore both beach, hiking trails and last but not least, got to check out what I was excited for Taco Bell Cantina. I sure made use of precious time staying here at Pacifica. LOVE the location. Thing sure happen for a reason ( cancelling the original plan to stay here) and I am so happy for the memories/moments that were created. & I just Loved waking up to the sounds of the oceans and enjoyed the views, I really would loved to stay here again, if plan works out.

The pros: - Located right on the water and in close proximity to small shops and restaurants. - Comfortable, clean and very spacious rooms. - Good pricing. - Staff was pleasant. - Parking available for $15 in their lot or free outside. - Small workout room available. - Our room did not have a view of the water (not sure many do) but they did their best with a creative screen on the window. - It was very quiet and we felt very safe. Could be better- - $15 for parking seemed unnecessary. - It is accessible to other locations, but everything closed by 10pm and it far enough for virtually every delivery place had an extra charge since it was out of area. - Breakfast is included and was fine, nothing special, just fine. - Not one staff member acknowledged by Marriott status. Not a deal breaker, I just hadn't expected this. All in all, a positive experience!

I have book 1.5 moths in advance, but when I arrived they said that they did not have any sea view room, in spite of having some 100 rooms facing the sea, and have putting me and my wife in a room facing a parking lot, in spite of having still rooms available today, under the excuse that everybody had asked for a sea view room, what does not seem true to me. Seeing my disappointment and even anger the attendant told me that he thought he might have a room with a sea view where he could place me and that he would call my room to confirm. I waited some 2 hours for the confirmation and when I checked the phone I noticed that it was completely dead and the plug was not accessible, behind an heavy furniture. I went down to the office to talk to that person, but instead of him was a woman that seemed to be the owner or the manager and completely over-rid her employee and told me that no way she could find me a room with a sea view. We were hoping that this could be the place in the Bay Area that would be our go to since my wife has family on this area, but giving the deceitful nature of these people we surely will not. Their usual rate is about $120 per night but now I am paying over $250 per night because there is some extra demand... Not very nice people to deal with...
