    We didnt get there until 9:30 pm. There was a bell to ring for service and the person came right out. The process was simple and easy so it was greatly appreciated

    This is a lovely little hotel at an affordable price. the room was clean. Nice bedding/pillows. Appreciated the microwave and fridge in the room. I loved that you could open the window and have fresh ocean air, and nice plantation blinds. Lots of cute places to eat and grab coffee near buy. The property had washer/dryer available for use, convenient ice, vending machines, large parking area. Just four blocks down from Winter's Tavern, in case you are coming up to the beach for music and don't want to drive home after drinking. We walked to breakfast at Pacific Cafe, which was wonderful, just two blocks away. A short walk down to the ocean just beautiful (windy/bring a fleece!). Will definitely use this hotel again.

    The room was HUGE. Enormous. We had a king size bed (very comfy too) and there was at least room for two more and still have room to move around. We had a view of the sea though it was in the distance - which was appreciated. The check in was swift and slick. The staff were kind. The parking was free. Towel swans were very pretty. It's a dumb complaint - but the huge size of the room meant that the bed was a long way from the TV, so it was a bit hard to see for us older folks.

    We liked the location, easy to get to the freeway and get into San Francisco. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. Liked the free parking. The key to enter the room was difficult to work. The towels in the bathroom were not very soft. The blinds do not make it very dark in the morning if you want to sleep late.

    The staff was pleasant and the room was large and quiet. It is a very quick drive to a local supermarket and several coffee shops and restaurants. I would consider this to be a budget travel option that gets you into a nice beach town with an easy drive to many communities south of San Francisco. There was a coffee pot, microwave, and fridge in the room, and vending machines in the hallways. I found the Pacific Drift to be a bare-bones accommodation in need of modernization. Everything was clean, however it is an older facility so things like the porcelain in the bathtubs was chipped, carpets are worn, decor is a bit aged, etc. Despite reaching out to the front desk for support, I was unable to maintain a reliable wi-fi signal in my room.

    I stayed at this hotel and my experience was terrible. The room was so dusty that whenever I moved, dust covered the entire screen of my phone and I constantly had to wipe it off. It was hard to breathe because of the amount of dust, and I couldn’t even open the window since the room was on the first floor right next to the road. The refrigerator did not work properly — when it switched on and off it made very loud and strange noises that kept me awake at night. Cleanliness was unacceptable: there was someone else’s hair on the towels, and when I used one, the hair stuck to my body. There was also more hair left in the shower drain. Overall, the stay was awful and I will never book this place again. I stayed at this hotel and my experience was terrible.

    Debris on counter in bathroom and table, scuffs on walls, very noisy right outside the window, but the worst of all was how the AC seemed to only make the room muggy and warm. It was cool outside during the day but our east facing window doesn’t have a breeze. We were quite warm and uncomfortable. Also given the cost you would expect some amenities like a small breakfast, an in building bar, etc. friendly staff, but that certainly doesn’t justify the $200+ cost for room rental for one night.

    Check-in was quick and friendly, but the lobby’s coffee machines were marked as out of order. Room seemed decent at first but had an overwhelming smell of stale cigarette smoke, like the room was painted over without cleaning the walls after years of being smoked in. Mattress was way too hard and nearly impossible to sleep on. We had originally booked two-night stay but checked out after only the first night. The front desk did not seem surprised with the early checkout, as he didn’t ask if there was a reason nor did he seem concerned.

    I think I’ve stayed at this hotel more than five times over the years and this time we had a room next to the street. It was extremely loud. I think we’ve always stayed on the other side facing the beach so we could see the water in the distance also the bed was extremely uncomfortable. It might’ve been just that room the hotel staff is always nice. We are always in and out and they’re always very sweet and the hotel smells really good, especially the elevator.

Not far from the beach or the part of town we like to visit. All the staff were freat and very friendly. I would lile more water pressure in the shower. Better coffee and a little more creamer and sugar. I suggest getting a new magtress for the room. Because of the loaction and price I would stay here again

    For the price they were charging. I expected more of an updated hotel. This definitely has not been updated in a very long time. The bed was uncomfortable. The bathroom was old and falling apart. I found two bugs crawling around the bathroom floor. When they came in to clean my room on the second day while I was gone, I came back to the air conditioner, turned off and my window open. I will definitely not be staying here again. The only saving grace was that it’s right down the street from the beach. It also didn’t seem to be located in the nicest area, but it did have free parking.

Short walk to a nice beach and plenty of spots to get good food. Soul Rice and Davids bagels are great. Quiet so dad could get the rest he needed even though it’s close to the main road you can’t really hear it.
