Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
"The hotel was nice and breakfast was excellent! Lots of variety. Location next to the wharf and Ghirardelli Square is a plus, especially because you can take public transit (cable cars or bus) with a $15 day pass. This helps avoid egregious parking costs all over the city. Beware of the resort fee ..."
