The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- $574 per person, $197 below the highest fare we saw
- Royal Pacific Motor Inn: rated 8 from 1,940 reviews, free cancellation
- Highs of 58–62°F for walking the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito
The catch: MX + F9 with 3 stops means 55h 11m of travel for the round trip, and a checked bag is about $160 for two.
Worth it if long travel days are fine with you in exchange for a full city week at $2,861; skip it if you need a nonstop.
Worth it if you can handle long travel days: $2,861 for two, all in, for Nov 14–21, 2026, 7 nights. That covers the flights at $1,147 plus Royal Pacific Motor Inn at $1,490 and its $224 in property fees, with taxes included; a checked bag and spending money are extra. The fare is on MX + F9 and it isn't nonstop: 3 stops and 55h 11m of travel time for both directions combined.

Why now
When we checked, the fare was $574 per person. That's $197 below the highest fare we saw for these dates, a 26% gap across 12 offers. The whole trip comes to $2,861 for two, all in: flights at $1,147, plus 7 nights at Royal Pacific Motor Inn for $1,490 and its $224 in property fees. A checked bag (about $160 for two) and spending money aren't included. Mid-November in the city is mild, not sunny. Typical highs are 58–62°F and lows sit near 50°F, with drizzle on two days and rain on Nov 20. That weather still works for hills, ferries and long lunches. All three hotels offer free cancellation, so you can change plans. Prices move, so these are the prices we found when we checked, and they could change.
The kind of trip this is
This is a city week you spend on foot: hills, cable cars, ferries across the bay and long meals, from dim sum to burritos. It suits a couple or two friends who like full days of walking and don't mind packing a jacket. Seven nights leaves room for a slow pace, a day trip to the redwoods and an easy afternoon in Sausalito.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
For the two of you, yes, if long travel days don't bother you. You get a week in the city for $2,861 all in, at a hotel rated 8 with free cancellation. If you want a nonstop, skip this one: the fare has 3 stops and 55h 11m of round-trip travel.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$2,861, all in: flights at $1,147 ($574 per person) plus Royal Pacific Motor Inn at $1,490 and its $224 in property fees, with taxes included. A checked bag (about $160 for two) and spending money are extra.
