At Fairfield Inn & Suites San Francisco Pacifica, travelers highlight a scenic oceanfront setting, consistently clean, modern rooms, and friendly, accommodating staff, with many appreciating easy beach access and convenient proximity to restaurants, walking trails, and San Francisco.

Common drawbacks include limited or paid parking, occasional noise between rooms, and that not all rooms have ocean views or privacy.

Location was odd. It’s separate from the town. I didn’t understand that when I made the reservation. Not enough parking. Toilet in the room was horrible how it flushed. Shower pressure was poor. Staff was excellent and all was clean. The breakfast was very good with lots of options.

Very nice hotel with nice patio lookout over Rockaway beach. Next to beach parking with nice hiking path and beautiful views. Not much to do on the little street they are on, but a short drive to the main beach town to walk around and shop. If you have an SUV, you might want to not park in the garage. Parking was pretty full and the couple spots we could get in, we couldn't open our doors enough to get out of our highlander. Outside parking also filled up with people parking in unmarked spots when arriving a little later.

Setting is beautiful, rooms are pretty nice. Property was attractive, peaceful and quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful for the most part. The ocean view shade in our room cracked us up. Breakfast was okay but also disappointing due to lack of place to sit and feeling rushed out at the stroke of 9:30am even though we didn’t get a chance to eat because we were waiting for food to arrive and then they whisked it away before we had a chance to get any. Also, both coffee machine and water machines were broken during our stay. Staff tried hard to accommodate us. All in all, a nice visit.

Brought my wife here for her birthday and appreciated the upgrade from partial to full ocean view. While looking out the window noticed another hotel right on the beach, and blocking our view. Turns out it’s less expensive. While I am somewhat happy with my choice, I would have preferred the other one that had free parking (we had to cough up $15 because the hotel wants to squeeze as much out of guests as possible). Next time I will save $100 and stay at the Sea Breeze Motel so I can watch the ocean instead of folks staying at a better hotel for the price).

Underwhelming, just OK!!! Be ready to pay for parking which makes NO sense!! Considering on the premise is only option, I am thinking it’s a new way for hotels to charge extra, not ok!! Also breakfast not included, so we did pay and again just OK!! Rooms just OK!! I’d say save your money go to holiday inn express, parking in free and basic free breakfast is better than paying for just OK!!

We had a lovely view of the ocean and its rocky formations. We walked to Nick’s restaurant and lounge two nights in a row and enjoyed ourselves there. We went on beautiful walks right outside the hotel. The hotel’s complimentary breakfast was very nice. There is a nice patio to sit on to enjoy the views. The fitness center is small but very good with excellent views. There were enough free parking spots outside to not have to pay for parking.

We absolutely loved this hotel. The view from our ocean front room was absolutely spectacular! The space seemed completely renovated and brand new from the rugs, bedding, carpeting etc. The bed was super comfortable, best sleep ever! It was quiet as can be as well. We stayed on the third floor in the 300's. I would say go for that! We also eat at Moonraker. Great view and food. The town was also tiny but really cute. They have a nail salon, massage therapist, ice cream etc. what more does one need alongside the ocean. Bring a warm coat, it's a bit chilly there in the winter. Lovely stay. Book it!

Doors open into a common area which can get noisy at times. There was also a large gap under the door that let in a lot of light at night. Street parking was easy, staff was friendly. Walkable to limited shopping and restaurants as well as some hiking. Access to driving into San Francisco is easy but once you get to SF traffic is bad.

The room was clean although the bedding was a bit ill fitting. Overall the room accommodations were okay but we had a very unrestful 3 nights. The hotel seems to be recently remodeled but the foundation and the sound proofing must be lacking. We heard EVERY little noise (talking, sneezing, music, tv, walking above us) there was from the neighboring guests and housekeepers, from early morning to late night. I had to call the front desk on one occasion about neighboring noise and talk to a housekeeper another day about her noise just outside our room. The front desk staff gets 5 stars but unfortunately, due to the lack of peace and quiet, we will not be staying here again.

great location and breakfast. i also appreciated the welcome email upon booking, which answered some logistical questions. i found the cleaning and service staff incredible - working really hard and keeping the breakfast and room areas spic and span, in spite of messy guests. the front desk staff at check-in were not welcoming or upbeat - it seemed weird to have them in a customer-facing role. luckily, i knew who to avoid at check-out and had a better experience.

Ren at the front desk was pleasantly cheerful, kind and firm about about finishing our check-in when a woman blew in the door, barged up to the counter and proceeded to bark orders at Ren who calmly said,” I’ll be with you as soon as I finish with this customer”, at least four times. Ren stayed calm.

Probably the best hotel option in the Roackaway beach area. Rooms are clean and comfortable but not luxurious by any means. Cups in room are paper or plastic and the breakfast offered in the morning is pretty dismal. Don’t feel the hotel is worth the price at all, but it’s better than the other options in the area.
