Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is in a great location just two blocks from Pier 39 and 1 block from Trader Joes. It’s easy to walk to other areas of San Francisco and the area feels very safe with lots of restaurants near by. The breakfast was buffet style and there was a great choice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back if I wanted to stay in San Francisco."
