Perched on CA 1 with a fabulous view of the crashing Pacific, 7 miles from SFO, up the road from one of our all time favorite restaurants in El Granada (Cafe Gibraltar), and right next to a great restaurant/bar - Puerto 27, we were OK with the dated and somewhat run down state of our room. We were looking for a place in Pacifica to spend the night before a morning flight that wouldn't break the bank after a trip to wine country ($$$!!). Pacifica Beach Hotel served us well. It is not the most modern in terms of room furnishings or the bathroom. It really does need an update. But the location was excellent for our purposes and the staff was welcoming and friendly. Nicer than the Best Western on Rockaway Beach and more reasonably priced. A thousand time better than staying at one of the airport hotels!
