Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
Overall the hotel was great. The staff are amazing and helpful. The breakfast is a buffet and has a variety of options. Pool is nice as well but too cold during this time. The rooms were clean tidy and decently spacious. Only issue is the wifi isn’t the greatest and at times slow.

We really enjoyed the stay here! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The retro vibe was fun, beds comfy and the sauna was a wonderful bonus! Lots of restaurants they partner with and the location is excellent. Easy walk from the BART and very close to the action. Would definitely stay here ...
