Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Clean room comfortable bed and the breakfast buffet were great. It’s the holiday so it’s very busy and noisy. The walls are so thin that you can hear everything and it distrusted our sleep. And the people upstairs were stumping their feet. Good thing we were only there for 1 night.
