Back to Royal Pacific Motor Inn Great Little Find We loved the location and walked from the hotel around Chinatown, and to Union Square, Fishermans Wharf, Lombard Street, Coit Tower, and Nob Hill. We sat on the balcony of our room and watch a dancing dragon in the chinese restaurant across the street wind its way downstairs and out into the street. The room was adequate, nothing fancy, but thats not why you stay here. This hotel is all about the location it sits to so many other attractions. We will definately return.
Reviewed by: mule from on Oct 05 2009 Great Value. Location is great. We do a lot of walking to North Beach, Union Square, Fishermans Wharf, etc. Can't beat free parking. We have been back many times over the years and the service has always been great and staff friendly. Be sure to ask for the inside rooms, they are a lot quieter. Rooms are clean. View is not bad. Lots of hole-in-the-walls with great tasting food. Great area for exploring.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Aug 03 2009 A great place to stay Our room was recently remodeled and was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The front desk was very helpful in helping us navigate the city and suggesting places to go/eat in Chinatown. The hotel is walking distance to many attractions, there is a cafe/bakery right next door, and a short walk to bus stop. The only downside was being fairly close to adult clubs/entertainment on Broadway, but we very quickly figured out how to avoid this. Price was very reasonable and parking was free!!!
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jul 23 2009 Greatly changed. The rooms were newly remodeled just last year. Say good-bye to smoke-smelling rooms. Almost everything about the rooms have changed. Only a walking distance to food and attractions. Free parking. Internet access at the front desk for guests only. Great price. It's perfect!
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jan 15 2009 Never Again!!! The receptionist was unprofessional, rude and unfriendly. She should be kept as far away from people as possible! The "supposedly clean" towels, sheets and pillows smelled like perspiration,totally disgusting! The "Air conditioning" consisted of an old dusty fan in front of the bed. The noise was continuous-all night long! The worst part is that they charged more for the room than I was quoted. When I told her about it, she said I should've taken the other room, like I know what room costs what? I went to the room they sent me to! So don't believe the quote they tell you over the phone. Bad business practice all around. Old, dirty, noisy and disgusting. Too expensive for such poor quality!
Reviewed by: unhappy from on Jul 25 2008 AWFUL!!!!! DO NOT GO THERE! COLD FACED RECEPTIONISTS WILL NOT SMILE AT YOU! I TOOK MY FAMILY TO SF AND STAYED AT THIS HOTEL WHICH IS DIRTY & SMELLY. PEOPLE SMOKE AT THE ELEVATOR AND NO FREE BREAKFAST AS THEY ADVERTISE YOU! THEY SAID COFFEE MAKER & OLD DRIED $99 CENT COOKIES (2 FOR 4 PEOPLE) ON THE ROOM TABLE IS YOUR COMPLEMENTARY BREAKFAST! ONLY GOOD THING IS HERE IS LOCATION-CLOSE TO MOST OF THE ATTRACTIONS. OTHERWISE IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP IN A QUITE ROOM YOU DO NOT WANT TO STAY HERE.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Nov 07 2007 Very Satisfactory Accommodations! Accommodations were satisfactory for the price. Friendly staff. Location is easily accessible to sighseeing sites and restaurants. My only wish would be that their pillows were more substantial (a little too flat...).

Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Sep 11 2007 Look No Further This Is the Best Deal You Will Find We've stayed here more times that I can count on one hand. The location is fantastic and parking the car under covered parking right in front of the entry door knowing it is safe and nearby gives you a wonderful peace of mind. Park, check-in and take off on foot to Chinatown, North Beach or Fisherman's Wharf...all walkable. Shop till you drop and eat the best Chinese food you will find anywhere in the world within blocks. The staff is efficient and professional. Coffee and breakfast rolls are complimentary. The price has stayed the same for years. You can't go wrong.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Sep 02 2007 This place was perfect... This joint is at the corner of anything going on in the North Beach/Chinatown. Theres food within seconds in pretty much any direction, and for someone out for some weekend enjoyment, this is the part of town to be in. I had a balcony suite, and for 120 bucks I pulled out, the place was all I could ask for. Low profile staff...theres nothing worse than being bothered by random people in a place you're paying to stay. Free parking.....unheard of. I'll also go ahead and mention a small eatery right across the street called "Sams". Incredible burgers/pizza/whatever they cook. A truly great experience.
