"Clean large room"
Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
10/10 Excellent
"The Riu plaza Fisherman’s wharf was well located for our visit to San Francisco. Staff were friendly at check in. The room was clean, air con worked well and had fridge. Bathroom was on the small size with a bath and fixed shower which was quite low for my 6foot husband. Breakfast was included with the stay, we had to queue each day but staff worked hard to clear tables and this moved quickly. The was a good selection of food which was hot and fresh. Lots of options for food locally and easy to get public transport to the rest of the city."
