Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

8/10 Good
"It is a lovely hotel near the busy Pier 39. Breakfast is amazing, the bed comfortable. The negative is the bathroom not having anywhere to put your stuff! And we always have stuff. The safe is in a cupboard rather than the closet so beware on leaving you don’t forget your valuables. We did and had to return the next day to retrieve. Everyone was very helpful in that regard. My final critique is the old fashioned motel style air conditioner/heater. It is noisy and either blows air on you or is off. Not comfortable when lying in bed. Drafty!"

"The room was nice. We found makeup on our pillow cases and the staff made it right, right away. The biggest bummer was the fact that the pool was across the street. I think Parc55 could do a better job of educating the guests where it is and how to find it. We loved closing out our days at the bar, but wished that breakfast had more options than the buffet."
