==History==
The Dunfey Hotel in San Mateo, California was originally established as a Royal Coach Inn, themed in the style of a castle. In the early 1970s, five of the large Royal Coach hotels were foreclosed upon by the life insurance company, the parent corporation of Dunfey Hotels at the time. In 1976, the chain was acquired by the airline of Ireland. Many of the original properties were gradually sold off and the chain has since been rebranded as .Dunfey-History (.docx), Rob Dunfey.
