Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf

10/10 Excellent
"Great location and easily walkable to Pier 39. I read many reviews about the great breakfast buffet and it did not disappoint. It can get very busy for breakfast but they are extremely organized and get you in quickly. They held our bags before check in so we could explore a bit until our room was ready. Spacious clean rooms."
