Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf
"Stayed 5 days with my wife. This hotel was fantastic. Great location near the fishermen’s wharf and walking distance to tons of great sights. The bed was comfortable room was clean. The hotel lobby was lively in the evening with a bar that seemed busy every day and lots of seating outside with fire tables to gather at. Breakfast was awesome, tons of selection but can be very busy depending on the time you showed up (earlier is better if you don’t want to wait), The fitness gym was very well equipped if you enjoy a workout. There is a Trader Joes and 7/11 very close for any supplies you need. If there was any issue I had it would be my room was on the ground floor, road noise and people in the street talking was a thing. As well if you like a cool room like us the air conditioning was loud. We tried to run the fan to drown out the noise but it only ran when it cooled so you would have to listen to it kick on and off many times in the night. Minor but was noticeable. I would recommend anyone stay when visiting."
