Royal Pacific Motor Inn

We booked two rooms at the Royal Pacific Motor Inn and were pleasantly surprised. While it’s a motel, its location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Chinatown and just a short walk from the Italian quarter, making it perfect for food lovers and city explorers. The rooms were clean, basic, but comfortable—just what we needed for a good night’s rest. One major highlight is the free parking, which is a real gem in San Francisco where parking is usually expensive and hard to find. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. I’d absolutely recommend it—100%!

Amazing location at an amazing price. Walking distance to all of the major tourist attractions in that area of the city. Located at the corner of Chinatown and North Beach (Little Italy) and 20 minutes from Fisherman's Wharf and Union Square. Plus it INCLUDES parking. Amazing. Staff was super friendly and nice, bed was comfortable, not luxurious but more than adequate for the price.

I absolutely loved the location in Chinatown—super convenient for grabbing delicious meals just steps away from the inn! Every bite was a treat. The elevator was quick, which was a relief after long days of exploring the city. Plus, the balcony had amazing views; I could see the Oakland Bridge lit up at night, which was such a nice touch after a long day of sightseeing. It was the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea! Oh, and it's a short mile walk to Pier 39 too. Really central location.

When you've never been somewhere before its hard to have expectations! Our stay here was exactly what we needed, the location was what we wanted, in the heart of Chinatown! We could walk everywhere or jump on a bus. We asked for a quiet area of hotel and they accommodated. Parking was tight but always got a space. Our room was great, clean & tidy, spacious enough, on 5th floor so got a bit of a view, bed was fine. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Overall property a bit run down I guess, but in line with the area. San Fran accommodation is expensive everywhere, I think this was good value.

Excellent location right in Chinatown, a block away is what we called “Little Italy” restaurants and Asian grocers everywhere with so much variety. A 15-20 minute stroll to Fisherman’s Wharf, a little library of things to do outside the lifts, laundry facilities, Walgreens only a few minutes walk away. Although showing its age it was comfortable.
