PACIFIC DRIFT San Francisco Pacifica

10/10 Excellent

"Adequate space inside the room. Micro and refrigerator worked very well. Window and blinds made it easy to open window and allow cool fresh sea breeze into the room. Very good place to stay for a good price."

Miller Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"My stay in the Room B was great. The place was clean, organized, and cozy. I used the place only to sleep, arriving late every night and leaving very early in the morning. The bed, the bathroom, the closet, all good. The place is located only 1-2 blocks away from the main street, where all the restaurants, bars, and shops are located. The house is located in a quiet part of the neighborhood. Perfect room, perfect place to stay if you are planning to use the room only to sleep. Keep in mind this is not a hotel or motel with amenities. Perfect for business trips. I will definitely book a room at this place again. The management staff’s communication and care are SUPERB. Great experience overall."
