Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent
"I love the breakfast and the rooms are clean and roomy. I am not a Fisherman's wharf fan but love to walk and you can get down to the water quickly and walk to the Marina or the Bridge. Or you can easily walk to North Beach, Chinatown or down around the piers. "
